Inspired by @BomberPat, this thread may die a very quiet death, but it gave me food for thought.
If this year's mania was only a one night event such as it was in the past, would it have worked?
Putting some very rough rules in place...you can't change or add any matches, only remove, the matches and outcomes took place exactly as they did, and assuming the main event tag from night one took place on the go home Smackdown, what would your perfect card look like?
I have had a go, and I think it has made me realise that with the amount of belts they have now it is bloody hard to book it over a single night without leaving championships off the card. I have added timings and a rough running order to this, and I still can't get it below 4.5 hours.
Timings are with entrances and victories, and it would mean no Snoop or other celeb shenanigans. I think the crowd would be completely burnt out by the end...but here's my card:
WWE Women’s World championship: Rhea Ripley (c) vs. Becky Lynch - 40 mins
WWE Undisputed Tag Team championships: 6-Pack Ladder match - 40 mins
WWE Intercontinental championship: Gunther (c) vs. Sami Zayn - 40 mins
WWE World Heavyweight championship: Seth Rollins vs. Drew McIntyre - 30 mins
WWE Women’s championship: IYO SKY vs. Bayley - 35 mins
WWE United States championship: Logan Paul vs. Kevin Owens vs. Randy Orton - 35 mins
Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill & Naomi vs. Damage CTRL (Asuka, Kairi Sane & Dakota Kai) - 20 mins
Undisputed WWE Universal championship: Roman Reigns vs. Cody Rhodes - Bloodline rules - 50 mins
What do you think? Would you change anything? Does this just prove we need the two nights now?
