#2 Getting the titles back on the full-timers

I am writing this article shortly after the first night of WrestleMania 36 has concluded and I have to say that I am quite happy with how the night turned out. Although there were a few questionable booking decisions during the show, at the end of the night, everything worked out in the best manner possible for all concerned. One assumes that the same kind of momentum will continue into the second night of WrestleMania as well and Drew McIntyre will stand tall with the WWE Championship.

WWE always gets a bad rap for putting the bigger titles around the waist of their part-timers like Goldberg and Brock Lesnar, while ignoring full-timers such as Braun Strowman. The reality is that a title change means a lot more when it comes from someone like Braun Strowman defeating Goldberg. It was all set up in this manner so that Braun Strowman or Roman Reigns would have a fantastic WrestleMania moment by running through someone that seldom loses.

And now Strowman can work with the heels on the roster such as King Corbin and in turn, elevate them.
