5 reasons why WWE WrestleMania should become a 2-day event in the near future 

WrestleMania 35 is almost upon us, and while it looks to be one of the biggest, most diverse, and exciting cards the show has seen in years, the reported 16 matches will certainly make it a slogfest for fans to get through.

Following this show, we've got RAW and SmackDown Live, and considering the weekend that WrestleMania has become, fans will be exhausted by the end of it, but many suggestions have been put out on the internet to combat this, and today, we are going to take an in-depth look at one of them.

Given how long the WrestleMania show has become, many people have suggested having a 2-day event, and while some people might hate the idea, it's quite a good one.

Whether the WWE do it or not is another thing, as it becomes a logistical nightmare with Axxess, NXT Takeover, Hall of Fame, and 2 WrestleMania shows, but if they can work it out, it should suit everyone, and here are 5 reasons why the WWE should seriously consider it.

#5 Allows more talent to be involved in meaningful matches

Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal

This year's WrestleMania is absolutely stacked, with a predicted 16 matches (currently 13 matches are announced with several predicted to still be on the way), but somehow, the WWE still struggle to get all its top talents involved in big-time bouts.

Unfortunately, it seems top guys such as Braun Strowman, Elias, Andrade, and others will be relegated to the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal, and while that's still a spot on the card, a two-day event would allow them a more valuable spot.

Sure, to save from 2 very long shows on back-to-back days, it's unlikely that the WWE will give us 20 matches over the weekend, but with 2 shows of 7-8 matches, stories will be told longer and the matches will be given more time (we'll get to that), and it will allow for more competitors to be involved, which should always be the goal for the WWE.

#4 More WWE shows on a weekend packed with indy shows

There are rumors that the company has tried to block a lot of indy shows from WrestleMania weekend

Each and every year, WWE brings WrestleMania to a new city, and with it, a flock of independent shows make it a true wrestling packed weekend, but for some, those small-time shows are what make the weekend truly worth it.

There are rumors that the company has tried to block a lot of indy shows from WrestleMania weekend, but they've obviously been unsuccessful, so adding another show to WrestleMania could keep the attention on the company over some smaller shows.

Sure, ROH's annual Supercard will likely still draw a big crowd, but adding WrestleMania shows to both Saturday and Sunday will limit the amount of indy wrestling the fans see over the weekend.

It may seem like a chance to continue their monopoly on the world of wrestling, but from WWE's perspective, they draw all those fans to the area for the weekend, so adding a second show ensures that the fans continue paying to see them.

#3 Increased revenue

WrestleMania is a huge weekend for everyone involved, and with the shared revenue from the PPV, the gate, merchandise, meet and greets, and so much more over the weekend, it brings with it so much success, but adding 2 shows instead of one increases that revenue further.

With Axxess, NXT Takeover, the Hall of Fame, and 2 WrestleMania shows, the WWE will make a killing over the weekend, and knowing how much the WWE seemingly cares about its fans, the money is likely the biggest motivator for the company.

Sure, they're likely not going to get 70,000 people to both shows, but if they can stick to running two shows of 40,000-50,000 fans and the product is better because of it, it seems a no-brainer.

Overall, it may not make a ridiculous difference to the WWE's earnings over this weekend, but if they can plan the few days better, bring in more money and keep the fans more involved, then that's what they should be looking to do.

#2 It will give every match and story time for an adequate pay-off

On paper, each and every match at this year's WrestleMania offers something different

The WWE has 16 matches planned for WrestleMania 35, and outside of the main event and the WWE Championship match, most of them are going to struggle for time, and it will certainly hurt the quality of the show.

On paper, each and every match at this year's WrestleMania offers something different, whether it be the historic Triple Threat, Kofi's 11-year chase to the top, the rivalry of two old friends turned foes, and others - but without adequate time, some of these will fail to deliver.

With two events featuring 7-8 matches each, the WWE will allow each match to tell the story they want to tell, and while that may make both events quite long, it makes it easier for the performers in the ring to have their WrestleMania moments and win over the WWE Universe, something everyone deserves.

#1 Will keep fans invested in every match

This year, the WWE has built up 3-4 matches to be must-see over WrestleMania weekend

The WWE has enough trouble getting its fans invested in all of their stories and matches heading into WrestleMania, because the storytelling isn't what it used to be, but asking them to sit through 16 matches makes it that much harder.

The usual PPV run time is between 3 and 4 hours, but WrestleMania has bloated out to 7-8 with a pre-show, and a 2-day event allows them to skip the pre-show, and just have fans get invested in two quality PPV events over one weekend.

This year, the WWE has built up 3-4 matches to be must-see over WrestleMania weekend, with many others just thrown together, and if the WWE looks to make 'Mania a two-day event, they can spend months building a plethora of important matches, making it a much more enjoyable event for fans, worthy of the name - 'The Showcase of Immortals'.
