WWE WrestleMania 35: 5 Reasons why the show began with Seth Rollins vs. Brock Lesnar
What a great show it has been thus far. WrestleMania 35 has delivered on all fronts and the results seem to be making everyone very happy (case in point- KofiMania). None more so that Seth Rollins starting the show with a win. But the question remains, why would you start WrestleMania with a Universal title match?
I mean if you think about it, it is the most important title in the business. It is the top prize for the men on the top brand in sports entertainment, isn't it? And this is why many had expected this match to have gone on towards the end, if not at the very end.
Let me make sense of why it was the match that started the show. If you think you know the answer, sound off in the comments below.
Here are 5 reasons why I think this happened.
#5 Starting off the show with a bang
It is a cliche, but cliches are sometimes indicative of the truth. The first blow is half the battle and WWE struck the right blow with this power-packed contest to kickstart the show. The fact that Paul Heyman strode out, interrupting a Hulk Hogan and Alexa Bliss segment pretty much blew everyone's mind universally.
WrestleMania soon became the number 1 trend in the world almost at once, and while WWE achieves this feat on a regular basis, it is something else entirely to achieve it straight from the word go. People realised that they needed to tune in for the whole show, and the big matches would not just take place at the end. WWE made everyone sit at the edge of their seats.
What do you think? Did this ploy of theirs work?
