How to put butts in seats in 2019.

It's been about four weeks since WWE brought the curtain down on WrestleMania 34, making now the natural time to start thinking about what the company might have in store for next year's show.

Laugh if you will, but Vince McMahon and co have more than likely started laying the groundwork for WrestleMania 35 already. After all, it's being hosted in East Rutherford's MetLife Stadium, a venue capable of holding more than 80,000 fans (and the one that set the third-highest attendance in WWE history at the same event five years ago).

In order to fill a stadium that big for a second time, they'll need a massive match-card capable of appealing to wrestling followers of all stripes. That means mainstream crossover, of course, but it also means thinking outside the box when it comes to the main event. If last month's show has taught us anything it's that you can't keep booking the same match and expect different results.

Here are 10 things the chairman of the board might want to try to make certain they sell-out (in a good way).

10. Daniel Bryan In The Main Event

Die-hards have been telling WWE to stick the best out-and-out wrestler in the company in WrestleMania's main event since forever, but normally it doesn't make much financial sense (like, who's going to shift more tickets: Ricky Stemboat or Hulk Hogan?).

At the moment, however, something strange is going on. The best wrestler (or, at the very least, second best) also happens to be the most over one. Daniel Bryan has both the talent and the ability to sell out an arena.

Having him win next year's Rumble and challenge for one of the two world titles at 'Mania 35 seems, therefore, like an absolute no-brainer. They could even run promo material about him defying the doctors' diagnosis; they love all that kind of stuff.

The only possible snag here is that, having returned to a full-time schedule just a couple of weeks ago, there are probably still one or two lingering doubts about whether he's capable of filling the role of a long-term franchise player. Well, there's always Roman instead.
