10 Mistakes WWE Better Not Make Before WrestleMania 35

7. Booking A Swerve WWE Title Change

Daniel Bryan is good enough to last the entirety of 2019 as WWE Champion. His eco-warrior heel persona grates on fans in the best possible way and has somehow turned the previously-beloved Bryan into a dirtbag, preaching heel to rival CM Punk's 'Straight Edge Saviour' gimmick.

In fact no, scratch that. Bryan's Captain Planet impression is better than Punk's quasi-Jesus schtick ever was.

It'd be a huge mistake then to disrupt his momentum by booking a swerve title change at the upcoming Fastlane show. Or, failing that, the same could be said for a shock WWE Title switch on a pre-WrestleMania episode of SmackDown. It cannot happen. It shouldn't happen. It'd be a total nightmare.

Bryan must hit 'Mania with his reign intact. He's far more effective as the reigning champ who's willing to rub his hemp-infused belt in everyone's face as a beacon of his moral superiority. Daniel wouldn't have nearly as much juice as the challenger on 7 April.
