7 Mistakes WWE made in 2019

#3 Hell in a Cell finish and the downfall of Seth Rollins

Not a good idea, Vince!

2019 will be remembered as the year Bray Wyatt finally managed to reach his potential. Wyatt came back to WWE with a new gimmick and made us all fall in love with his creative intelligence. His dual gimmick of a friendly talk show host and a sadistic creature called The Fiend made him the hottest act in all of Sports Entertainment.

It wasn't long before WWE decided to involve him in the title picture as The Fiend set his sights on Universal Champion Seth Rollins, leading to a Hell in a Cell match between the two. By this time, fans were so behind Wyatt that the only option the company had was to allow him to win the match and walk out with the Universal Championship.

Unfortunately, the company decided to make a controversial decision as the match ended with a referee stoppage when Rollins went berserk on The Fiend. The finish made The Fiend look weak and led to fans turning on Rollins, who was a credible babyface before that. WWE did ultimately put the title on Wyatt at Crown Jewel, but the HIAC finish had done its damage. It would have made more sense to let Wyatt challenge for the title at Crown Jewel only, but WWE seemed to run out of patience looking at the success of this new character.

The HIAC finish was termed by many as one of the worst finishes of a match in recent memory. What followed was some confusing booking of 'The Beastslayer' that led to his stock taking a nosedive. With Rollins finally turning heel, hopefully, there are good days ahead.
