#3 The finish to Elias vs King Corbin

Was this a WrestleMania-worthy match-up?
Was this a WrestleMania-worthy match-up?

The addition of King Corbin vs Elias to the WrestleMania 36 card was a bit questionable. It felt like a SmackDown match at best - and not even a main event. Either way, we're not against the fact that they got a spot on the card because they both deserve it.

Moreover, the fact that it's a 2-day WrestleMania with roughly three hours per day means that the entire show is easier to watch, rather than WrestleMania since 2016, where it's extended drastically in its runtime.

Elias vs Corbin was never going to be a technical classic, but we imagine that it would have gotten a great reaction from the crowd. It was a classic heel-babyface dynamic, with Corbin assuming that he would win the match by forfeiture as Elias didn't show up at the time.

What was most disappointing, however, was the roll-up finish. It was a lackluster end to a WrestleMania match and it doesn't even feel as though the feud was that important, to begin with. WWE could have done better with the finish of the match.
