WWE: 20 Changes That MUST Happen On The Road From WrestleMania 30

9. Build The Main Events

On the RAW before WrestleMania 30, fans were treated to the Main Event of Randy Orton vs. Batista. (Remember at one time this was billed as the main event of WrestleMania 30) Yet like so many modern WWE main events, the match was little more than a prelude for an inevitable Daniel Bryan run in on guest announcer Triple H. The match was basically a waste of everybody's time and rather depressingly could have been a wrestling spectacle if billed and promoted in the right way. Unfortunately the modern wrestling main event is no longer billed and engineered in the right way. They are more often than not a side show and pale in comparison to the main events of yesteryear. Perhaps the most pressing change that the WWE needs to implement is to promote main events as the main event and leave it to conclude without constant and predictable interference. After all some of the greatest Main Event matches have been matches that were strictly about the wrestlers in the match, wrestling to the clean conclusion of the match. Of course in the interests of livening things up, dirty finishes and controversy are an important element to a balanced WWE product, however if you are a fan who pays to see a main event, or waits up and watches RAW to witness its main event and the main event turns out to be nothing more than a spot on the card where run ins or something happens to prevent the conclusion of the match, it is not only annoying but incredibly off putting in buying into the idea of a main event ever again. Change must come from the WWE Creative Team in addressing the balance between developing real classical main event wrestling bouts that conclude cleanly, and main events that, as currently happens all too often, are little more than a side show for something other than the main event.
