10 Most Unwanted WrestleMania Title Changes

On the grandest stage, sometimes WWE make the poorest decisions!

Even though WWE doesn't really have an off-season, so to speak, the company definitely saves the best matches and angles for WrestleMania. The general idea is that 'Mania almost acts as an end-of-season finale, after which the soft 'reset' button is pushed, and things go off on a tangent for around 6 months or so, before the end of the year inevitably brings talk of the big event back around. On one hand, WrestleMania is the ideal time to switch title belts - the event feels massive when major titles are at stake, even more so when fans get that groundbreaking moment, seeing their favourite babyface or most-hated heel capture gold. Yes, 'Mania title changes should feel big, because the show is the largest on the calendar, but there are occasions during which the atmosphere falls a little flat. At other times, the live crowd may have been into what happened at the time, but reflecting back reveals a poor decision, perhaps a match that wasn't quite what it should have been, or the wrong person being given the belt. This list examines 10 different examples of times when title changes were either unwanted or altogether dissatisfying in some form or fashion.
