10 Lessons WWE Should Have Learned Over WrestleMania 35 Weekend

4. Giving People What They Want Actually Works

Yep, Very simple. No swerves purely for the sake of swerves, no teaching the fans a lesson about the journey being more important than the destination, just booking directions that carry satisfying and logical conclusions. Kofi Kingston deserved to be crowned WWE Champion, and he deserved to beat Daniel Bryan to do it. Had the MetLife had a roof, the relief at actually getting that result would have taken it clean off.

Same too with Seth. Arguably Raw's most consistent performer in the main event over 2018 and seemingly the last dream opponent for Brock Lesnar on the brand, toppling him with a plucky and exhilarating underdog win was precisely the result fans had been crying out for when he wrestled Bálor, Bryan and Styles. But only once was there the possibility the Universal Championship could be saved from its part-time purgatory.

The time had surely come now though. After a false dawn for Roman in last year's main event (which nobody really wanted), a further one later that month in Saudi Arabia (which even fewer people wanted), and the decision to put the vacated belt on Brock instead of Braun (what even was Crown Jewel), fans had had their fill of the it being half-a-championship. They wanted the beast slayed, and good things will now follow.
