WrestleMania 35: 5 controversial things WWE might do at WrestleMania 2019

WrestleMania 35 is days away. It's crazy to think that we're this close to the event, yet here we are. And to WWE's credit, it has been an absolutely great build as a whole (discounting a few hiccups here and there) and the card as a whole is quite stacked.

There's a lot to be excited about WrestleMania this year because history is going to be made. Not only will we see the women main event WrestleMania for the first time ever, but we have two fan favourite title challengers in Kofi Kingston and Seth Rollins.

There are quite a few good matches on the card, and some of them may not even end rivalries, but they may just begin them. However, there's one common trend.

With great cards and great builds, WWE often does a job of making bad and controversial decisions at WrestleMania that ruins the showcase of the immortals. Since there's such a high chance of having a great WrestleMania, there's almost equally a chance of having a bad one. Here are five controversial things WWE could end up doing at the show of shows.

#5. Having Baron Corbin win clean

Baron Corbin isn't getting heat because of being an effective heel. People are pretty apathetic towards him, and there's legitimate heat that he's Kurt Angle's final opponent. It's such a bad choice, especially given that they just had a match a couple of months ago and Corbin won clean as a whistle.

Either way, it's more likely that Corbin will beat Angle in his final WrestleMania match. While it's a tradition to go out on your back, the storyline simply calls for Kurt Angle to win. Having Corbin pick up the win may be beneficial to him, but it'll definitely suck the air out of the stadium.

#4. Having the Demon King lose

Finn Balor will officially be debuting the Demon King at WrestleMania. While that's all well and good, hopefully, it ends with Balor squashing Bobby Lashley with relative ease, similar to how Balor squashed Baron Corbin at SummerSlam last year when unexpectedly entering as The Demon King.

However, main roster booking isn't always the best, and with the Intercontinental Championship just changing hands constantly, WWE might feel the need to put it on Lashley even post-WrestleMania.

The Demon is Balor's most protected character and having him lose would not only affect him, but it would ruin the mystique of The Demon. Especially given that he will be debuting the Demon at the show of shows, which is meant for a WrestleMania, it would certainly be a horrible and controversial decision, but one that Vince McMahon and co are very much capable of making.

Their booking of Balor since his return two years ago certainly doesn't entail trust from fans.

#3. Having Brock Lesnar retain the Universal Championship

We hate to break this to you, but Brock Lesnar walking out with the Universal Championship is far more likely than you think. Sure, Seth Rollins deserves to be a World Champion after 3 years of not being one and sure, he does deserve to be the top guy.

However, Roman Reigns' return seemingly ensured that The Kingslayer won't become The Beastslayer anytime soon. They haven't really built or made it seem like Rollins is going to win, despite looking good at the go-home show.

And with two other big babyfaces potentially winning, they probably don't want to make it seem too predictable, though Rollins winning would absolutely be the right decision.

However, more likely than not, we're going to see Lesnar retain after a few F-5s, and the match probably won't be much longer than 8-10 minutes or so. After that, WWE will probably run back Reigns vs Lesnar for the 5th time or so.

#2. Having Daniel Bryan retain the WWE Championship

This too, as much as we hate to admit, has a slight chance of happening. Although we fully believe that KofiMania will come to fruition at the showcase of the immortals, there's a very high chance that Daniel Bryan may walk out still WWE Champion.

Think about this - Vince McMahon is quite high on the "New" Daniel Bryan, and there's absolutely no denying that his run has been fantastic, and it just goes to show how great he is that he was able to make such a successful transition into a heel. With that being said, he does deserve a lot of credit for Kingston getting over.

However, he should not be walking out with the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 35. The story simply calls for Kofi Kingston to get the feel-good World Championship victory, and rather than sacrificing a great moment to get heat on Bryan, WWE should put the title on Kofi Kingston.

#1. Charlotte Flair walks out a double champion

Like the Kofi Kingston storyline, the main event of WrestleMania is essentially tailor-made for Becky Lynch. It's a moment that is meant to coronate The Man and make her the single biggest female star of the company.

She's certainly earned it, and while she hasn't been getting pushed for the last year or so, the past eight months since the summer of 2018 has seen her take a whole new side of herself. However, historically speaking, WWE is very much capable of pulling off a massive upset at WrestleMania 35.

Charlotte Flair has been the single most pushed female superstar of the last few years, and arguably even of all time. They're very much capable of pulling off the shock and having Charlotte Flair win the title. But this is a big mistake and even they know that it's a big one to make.

Hopefully, better judgment prevails.
