WrestleMania 35 is just a few days away from us, and as of the writing, the match card is almost set for the event. A lot of amazing storylines are going to come to an end at the 35th edition of the grandest stage of them all.
For the first time in quite a while, all the #1 contenders for the Top Championships in their division are fan-favorites and fans are behind them with full support. While Becky Lynch will compete for the RAW Women's Championship in the main event of WrestleMania 35, Seth Rollins, on the other hand, would take on the beast, Brock Lesnar to slay him and become the new Universal Champion.
Another interesting storyline, and quite possibly the one which most fans are invested in, right now is that of the WWE Championship. Kofi Kingston is so close to achieving his dream and fans can't stop thinking about how amazing Kofi's crowning moment would be.
But what if these fan favorites don't win their matches? What if the heals are booked to win the match. Fans would surely be very disappointed. WWE fans have been more focal now than ever before, thanks to the IWC. Fans now react and let WWE know their displeasure for something not correctly booked.
At WrestleMania 35, a lot of fan favorites would step in the ring to try to overcome the task in front of them. With them, the fans will also be emotionally attached and would want them to get their WrestleMania moments. A wrong booking can cause a massive backlash.
Let's take a look at the 5 booking decisions at WrestleMania 35 that can cause a backlash among fans and could hurt WWE in the longer run.
#5 Lashley buries Balor
Finn Balor started the year with a bang when he replaced Braun Strowman in the Universal Championship Match at Royal Rumble by pinning John Cena clean. Though he failed to slay the beast, the match made him come out as a hero.
But after winning the Intercontinental Title at Elimination Chamber, Balor lost it back to Lashley and ever since the feud hasn't been something fans are invested in. Balor is again challenging Lashley for the title at WrestleMania, and Vince better book him to win the match as Balor is a fan-favorite and losing at WrestleMania would decrease his credibility.
Best way to make him win in a convincing manner? Let him come out as The Demon King!
