5 Biggest Missed Opportunities From WWE Stomping Grounds 2019

5. The Chance To Make A Fresh PPV Feel Fresh

In spite of its not-so-great name, Stomping Grounds was uncharted territory for WWE, so it goes without saying that the creative team could have used this fresh new opportunity to produce something, well, fresh and new.

While the first half ended up feeling like they had indeed figured that out, the fact of the matter is that this event was doomed to fail before it even started. After all, how many of the matches due to take place were rematches?

Becky Lynch's title defence against Lacey Evans was a rematch from Money In The Bank, Roman Reigns' showdown with Drew McIntyre had already been done at WrestleMania - and then you have the Universal and WWE Championship matches which were both Super ShowDown rematches simply orchestrated in a cheap attempt to ensure that the respective rivalries between Rollins and Corbin and Kingston and Ziggler would finally be considered part of the official WWE canon.

What makes it even more redundant is none of these four rematches were significantly better than their predecessors and, to top it all off, they ended with the exact same results! With that in mind, you have to ask: What did it really accomplish?

It's unfortunate because, following the mess that was Super ShowDown, they had a real shot here to produce something of a much higher standard. Instead, we got a moderately decent offering that wasn't particularly great or awful. It just existed which, at this point, is what all WWE pay-per-views seem to do.
