5 mistakes WWE might make at WWE Stomping Grounds 2019

WWE Stomping Grounds takes place tonight, and the card is filled with exciting matches. The main event of the night is expected to be the Universal Championship match between Seth Rollins and Baron Corbin and the hype for it is currently all about who could turn up as the Special Guest Referee.

Apart from this, Dolph Ziggler has his rematch for the WWE Championship against Kofi Kingston in a steel cage match, and that too could turn out to be the main event if WWE are planning a shock ending. The card also has Becky Lynch facing Lacey Evans again as she defends her RAW Women's title while Bayley defends her SmackDown Live Women's title against Alexa Bliss with Nikki Cross in her corner.

Samoa Joe defending his US Title against Ricochet and Roman Reigns vs Drew McIntyre could turn out to be the best matches of the night, but the fear among the fans is that WWE might make a couple of mistakes at a PPV, again.

Here are 5 mistakes WWE simply cannot afford to make:

#5 – Brock Lesnar becomes the Special Guest Referee

Baron Corbin is on the hunt for a special guest referee for his match vs Seth Rollins, but The Architect is trying to ensure that the one calling the match is unbiased. The former GM-Elect became involved in a war of words with referee John Cone at WWE Super ShowDown and indicated that he only lost because of the official.

He's since then added the stipulation of a Special Guest Referee for his match and is looking for someone who can tilt the balance in his favor. With Rollins set on a mission to take out everyone who wants to take sides with Corbin and the former GM-Elect with very few friends in hand, it's going to be a surprise for the WWE Universe when the referee makes his way out for the match.

One thing that could happen is Brock Lesnar turning up as the Special Guest Referee, and that will be a massive mistake by WWE. Not only could it see Rollins losing the title but it would make things worse for Brock Lesnar with the WWE Universe.

#4 – Big E helps Dolph Ziggler win

Big E is back in action and is bound to be ringside when Kofi Kingston takes on Dolph Ziggler in the cage match for the WWE Championship. The New Day member was also in a stable with Ziggler in his early days and rumours of him helping the for WWE Champion win have been going around.

While the idea of breaking up the New Day and having a Shield-like backstabbing story is good on paper, Xavier Woods and Big E are just not going to bring the best out of Kofi Kingston, and honestly, nor is Dolph Ziggler.

Moreover, Ziggler is a part-time wrestler now, and he was mainly only brought in for that one match at WWE Super ShowDown because Kevin Owens refused to travel to Saudi Arabia. In that case, having Ziggler win would do no good for all those involved, and yet another championship might go blunt.

#3 – Sasha Banks returning to be in Bayley's corner

The latest update on Sasha Banks is that she is back in training and is working with WWE again. She went on a hiatus after WrestleMania, and she is set to return soon.

Nikki Cross is going to be in Alexa Bliss' corner when she takes on Bayley for the SmackDown Women's title. Nikki specifically mentioning it on TV this week makes me wonder if WWE might bring Banks back just to be in Bayley's corner.

Such a return would be underwhelming, and she should only make an appearance if Cross and Bliss go on and attack Bayley together. Just getting her in to stand in the corner from the start of the match would be no good and for the record, Bliss winning the title should not be the way for WWE to go as well.

Bayley vs Banks for the title would be a good thing to happen as Charlotte Flair has got way too many opportunities and right now, only Ember Moon is the other star who's capable of helping Becky lead the Women's Revolution.

#2 – Roman Reigns or Drew McIntyre winning clean

*This slide contains spoilers to WWE Stomping Ground and Extreme Rules*

Roman Reigns takes on Drew McIntyre tonight in a WrestleMania rematch. The former Shield member picked up the win at the grandest stage of them all, but tonight, things might be a little different.

One thing that should not happen, regardless of who walks away with the win, is a clean victory. McIntyre should ideally be the one winning with interference from Shane McMahon as a handicap match has been listed for the next pay-per-view, Extreme Rules.

With Reigns set to take on Shane and Drew in the next PPV, giving him the win at Stomping Grounds would make the handicap match meaningless and also make things worse for McIntyre who's the top heel in the company right now.

If not for Shane, at least Elias should make his way to the ring and help McIntyre win.

#1 – 24/7 title chaos during a match

24/7 title might not be the best looking championship in WWE, but it is providing some quality entertainment. R-Truth has been brilliant with handling things and seeing him try and hide from other stars chasing the title is the best part of WWE right now, after Firefly Fun House.

Over the past few weeks, the 24/7 title chaos has interrupted a couple of matches, and while it is fun to watch on a weekly show, it might not be the same on a pay-per-view. The 24/7 title segment is a must, but it should not take the limelight away from any of the matches on the card as it would not be good for the stars involved in the match going on.

Would love it if they have multiple 24/7 title changes at Stomping Grounds but let's just not have one taking place during another match.
