5 Biggest Missed Opportunities From WWE WrestleMania 36

5. Not Filling In The Newbies

It's a strange time for the world right now, so it's completely understandable that Roman Reigns and The Miz were absent from the first night of WrestleMania. The health and well-being of the WWE superstars is paramount, and anything that would put them at risk is a major no-go, so the decision to remove them from their matches was certainly the right call.

However, one thing that let the program itself down was the lack of explanation as to why neither of them were appearing. Oh sure, WWE explained Reigns' absence on SmackDown and made the Ladder Match announcement on The Bump, but it's a little naive on their part to expect every viewer of a phenomenon like WrestleMania to be familiar with these recent changes.

After all, WrestleMania is an annual extravaganza that tends to draw in non-regular viewers and old fans unfamiliar with how today's product progresses on a weekly basis. Throw in the fact that more people are understandably at home during this time and craving escapism like the Showcase of the Immortals, and you have to question their decision not to inform these casual viewers as to why the advertised challenger for the Universal Championship wasn't competing or why three men were vying for the Tag Team Championships.
