10 Ways WWE Can Guarantee A WrestleMania 34 Sell-Out

9. A Cruiserweight Title Ladder Match

While WrestleMania 34 would absolutely benefit from less cluster matches, there are a couple of obvious exceptions to the rule. The Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal has become an annual tradition, and isn’t going anywhere. Similarly, fans have come to expect an all-action ladder match at 'The Showcase Of The Immortals', and while last year’s tag bout was a lot of fun, WWE should go one better in New Orleans.

The Cruiserweights are perfectly suited to such a match. The likes of Neville, Austin Aries, and Akira Tozawa are among the most exciting wrestlers in the company, and they’d thrive in such a chaotic environment. Interest in 205 Live might be low, but WWE’s lighter wrestlers would have no problems holding the audience’s attention in a ladder match, and they’d be hooked from the very first flip.

It often feels as though the Cruisers are held back on 205, and they're rarely allowed to show the full breadth of their talents. This match would finally let them spread their wings in an all-action spotfest, build interest for their lowly brand, and maybe even shift a few tickets...
