Everyone makes mistakes, it is simply inevitable, but that is especially true when you are a global company who has a diehard fanbase like WWE does which critiques and picks up on the smallest details possible.

WWE has made its share of mistakes over the past year, some which have had major impacts on the product and others which have just been minor, but mistakes nonetheless, and that is something that it will continue to do moving forward.

Whilst there is nothing wrong with mistakes, they are inevitable in a company the size of WWE, some of them do tend to be reccuring issues that it seems to never learn from, which makes it slightly more serious.

Some mistakes you can almost predict the company making as they seem simply inevitable, yet others are hopefully avoidable if the right people can get their brains together and foresee the issue.

The WWE is facing a very big year in 2019, as they're expected to further amp up on special events, while they're also scheduled to move SmackDown Live to FOX. Recent reports have been surfacing that there are certain changes FOX wants WWE to make to the blue brand and we can only imagine what kind of ramifications that will have.

Throughout this article we will take a look at the 10 biggest mistakes WWE has made in the last year, from lengthy title runs to poor booking, as well as 10 that the company will make moving forward.

20 2018 Mistake: Brock Lesnar's Title Run

Whilst it might now be over, the Universal Championship reign of Brock Lesnar was incredibly painful to watch, mainly because there was nothing to watch, with the Beast barely making any appearances throughout 2018.

Every time Lesnar defended his championship, fans would be excited about the prospect of him dropping the belt, no matter who it was against.

Many members of the WWE Universe were even relieved to see Roman Reigns finally take the title.

Despite the fact that Lesnar is an incredible athlete and is well worthy of being a champion, the fact that he never showed up and his matches featured the same spots on repeat simply made it impossible to get behind him as the champion, lowering the prestige of the title.

19 2019 Mistake: Reuniting The Wyatt Family

There is no doubt that The Wyatt Family was one of the best stables in recent years, even if they were never booked to win any of their main feuds. However, that doesn't mean that WWE should look to bring them back together.

It's been a while since Harper, Rowan and Bray Wyatt were all together, with Wyatt teaming with Matt Hardy and the others creating the Bludgeon Brothers, but injuries have impacted all of their progress.

With Matt Hardy retiring and Harper recovering from an injury, WWE has a decision to make about how to use them all next year. Sadly, the company will likely throw them all back together, instead of doing something new and unique.

18 2018 Mistake: Jobbing The Revival

The Revival was once considered to be the amongst the very best tag teams in the world, their run in NXT is one of the strongest in history and their unique style of old-school wrestling really got over with WWE fans.

However, for one reason or another WWE decided to have The Revival simply become jobbers to other top teams on the roster, ruining all the potential that they once had and although injuries did play a part, WWE could have fixed this if they wanted to do.

At this point, it is hard for WWE fans to take The Revival seriously, mainly because they have failed that many times, but hopefully it is something that can be fixed moving forwards with the right booking.

17 2019 Mistake: Continue Involving The McMahons

Whilst it is their company, there really is no longer a need to see the McMahon family involved in storylines on a constant basis, overriding talent to suit their own agendas rather than giving others a time to shine. Whether it's Stephanie, Shane or Vince it doesn't matter.

For years WWE has been obsessed with having one, if not all of them be involved in major storylines on both Raw and SmackDown, no matter how tired fans are of them.

The worst for this is Stephanie McMahon who seemingly has to get involved in every authority storyline on Monday Night Raw and it has become tiresome for fans, yet there is no doubt this will be something the company continues to do.

16 2018 Mistake: Handling The WWE UK Division

It seems like WWE just can't get things started with its UK division, despite having everything in place from the talent to the championships and more. WWE first brought in the UK division two years ago, yet we still don't have anything to show for it.

We may have had two UK Championship tournaments and the likes of Pete Dunne and Moustache Mountain have gone on to have major success in NXT, there is still no actual weekly show which there should be.

The NXT UK division has been announced and there have been several tapings that have taken place in England, but there still hasn't even been an announcement as to when the show will be available to fans, marking another year that the division hasn't fully come to life.

15 2019 Mistake: Women's Tag Team Titles

On paper, this might seem like a great idea. It gives more of the women time to engage in storylines that matter other than just the Women's Title like it is now and that in turn should allow more opportunities.

However, the reality of the situation is that WWE barely has enough time as it is right now to get all of the storylines it has ongoing, especially on SmackDown where there is a limited two-hour window of time.

On top of that, the WWE PPVs go on for long enough as they are already, adding one, potentially two more title matches depending on how many tag team titles the company creates only provides more headaches and isn't going to work as well as people think it will.

14 2018 Mistake: Releasing Neville

The entire situation surrounding the former Cruiserweight and NXT Champion, Neville has been hidden in mystery with neither Neville or WWE making any official comments so far about how the two parties fell out so badly.

There had been tons of rumors regarding Neville being back in talks with WWE but then it was revealed that he had been released and he has since returned to Dragon Gate in Japan.

There's no doubt that this was a huge mistake.

Neville is one of the most talented wrestlers on the planet and helped make 205 Live feel relevant with his incredible title run, but instead of working hard to get him back, WWE was content on letting him slide away, something they may come to regret.

13 2019 Mistake: Major Names On 205 Live

The 205 Live experiment hasn't quite worked out for WWE, with the cruiserweights struggling to capture enough viewers to justify the time given to the show, barely ever being placed on PPV's and simply just flopping.

Despite that, WWE has clearly not given up on the show with Triple H now in charge of the purple brand, The Game has made clear improvements and he is likely going to continue making those decisions moving forward.

One worry that many people have is that Triple H will pull major names to 205 Live in order to draw eyes to the product, with talents such as Ricochet and Johnny Gargano being rumored to be joining the brand, which would be a major mistake.

12 2018 Mistake: Roman Reigns Headlines WrestleMania...Again

It seems like WWE sometimes doesn't know how to learn from its mistakes and having Roman Reigns headline WrestleMania 34 was a clear sign of that, with his match against Brock Lesnar marking his fourth consecutive year main eventing the show.

While there's no doubt he's one of WWE's biggest stars and has deserved to headline the show, doing it every single year has become far too repetitive and shows a real lack of trust in the other people he shares a locker room with.

The fans simply disengaged from the story and the match and WrestleMania 34 lacked a satisfying ending because of it.

With the WWE Universe turning on his match with Brock Lesnar, which shouldn't be happening at one of the years biggest wrestling shows.

11 2019 Mistake: Not Signing The Bullet Club

Now, this entry might not actually be down to WWE itself. After all, if WWE does offer fantastic contracts to the Bullet Club members and they reject them no matter what, there's very little WWE can do.

Considering how much money that the company now makes, if WWE wanted to they could easily make an offer that would be impossible to turn down and if the company was sensible, that's exactly what they will do.

Having the Bullet Club could totally change the landscape of things in WWE, with Cody Rhodes, Hangman Page, Marty Scurll, the Young Bucks, and Kenny Omega all being some of the absolute best in the world. Chances are, WWE won't recognize that and do the necessary things to sign them all.

10 2018 Mistake: Sasha Banks/Bayley Feud

This has been an absolute car crash of a situation, with WWE somehow managing to set this feud up for months, yet never actually pulling the trigger and having Sasha Banks and Bayley face each other in the ring.

What was arguably the greatest female feud in NXT history which created some of the best wrestling matches of all time, it seemed like WWE was making a smart decision by putting Bayley against The Boss, but instead, WWE failed to make it work.

Despite the fact they have brawled with each other and had some issues, instead of turning one of them heel and having a full feud, the company decided to tease it, but ultimately have them just be friends again.

9 2019 Mistake: More Greatest Royal Rumble, Crown Jewel Shows

WWE's Greatest Royal Rumble and Crown Jewel shows is something a lot of fans do not agree with and won't support, but regardless of that, the company seems content on doing more shows of that nature due to how much money they can make from it.

The main issue with the deal is that no women can ever take part in the shows, which sees the progress WWE has made go backward.

There's nothing wrong with growing the market for WWE to a wider international scope, but when it's at the expense of so much of their roster, it has to be questioned.

WWE is fresh into this deal and has already had two major events in the country so far, and should the company continue down that path of such frequent visits, then this is going to become a bigger issue.

8 2018 Mistake: Not Capitalizing On Braun Strowman

It has been very clear throughout the past year that Braun Strowman is the real deal and has everything needed to be the biggest star in the entire company, yet for some reason, creative has totally blown things with him.

The Monster Among Men was wasted at WrestleMania 34 in a pointless tag team squash match and was for some reason turned heel, even though he was the most popular star on Raw.

Instead of just pushing him and throwing the Universal Championship on him, just as the company would have done during the Attitude Era to anyone who has hot, they wasted time with him and now that early momentum is beginning to fade.

7 2019 Mistake: Keeping Dean Ambrose In The Midcard

Everybody was expecting a Dean Ambrose heel turn and they got it a few weeks ago, in what was a surprising night to do it. Nevertheless, it's something that seemed inevitable and for good reason, because it's something fresh that we haven't seen from him as a singles star and it's something that suits his character.

While there is nothing wrong with Ambrose as a heel, it seems like he and Seth Rollins are going to be out of the title picture for the foreseeable future. As Braun Strowman seems set to dominate the Universal Championship picture in Roman Reigns's absence, with potential top heels being Bobby Lashley and Drew McIntyre, it's possible Dean gets lost in the midcard, even though he's fully capable of being RAW's top heel.

6 2018 Mistake: Asuka's Booking

WWE had a huge star on its hands when Asuka was brought up to the main roster. She had been booked to perfection in NXT moving to the main roster with the longest undefeated streak in WWE history.

This should have set her up for an amazing run on the main roster and at the start, things went right, being the lone survivor at Survivor Series 2017 and then winning the Royal Rumble.

It appeared that creative had it right, but things quickly went downhill.

While there was nothing wrong with having her lose to Charlotte, the aftermath from WrestleMania has seen her so poorly booked, with awful defeats to Carmella. Asuka is now just like anyone else on the roster, losing the spark that once surrounded her.

5 2019 Mistake: Continue Relying On Part-Time Talent

This is something WWE will seemingly never stop doing, no matter how talented its roster is, with creative constantly deciding to bring back former names who were once some of the biggest stars but can no longer hang at the same level.

Whether it be The Undertaker, Shane McMahon or Kurt Angle, WWE has a laundry list of talents they continue to bring back for major events overseas and blockbuster shows such as WrestleMania and SummerSlam, even if it doesn't make sense.

The company likes to shoehorn a storyline into the programming, taking minutes away from the younger talent and overall this just hurts the product and it is set to continue moving forward.

4 2018 Mistake: Not Turning Roman Reigns Heel

For some younger fans, this isn't a mistake at all as a good portion of the audience certainly enjoys cheering for the Big Dog, but the issue is that the vast majority of fans do not like Roman Reigns.

No matter what the reason is, the WWE Universe simply wasn't responding to Reigns as a top babyface and that's something that the company should've addressed this year. Now granted, with Roman Reigns's current situation, things might change. No matter how fans feel about Reigns the on-screen character, there isn't a fan in the world not rooting for Roman to return to action.

That being said, a heel turn earlier in the year definitely could've taken his character, and the performer himself, to a new level.

3 2019 Mistake: Burying NXT Call-Ups

There is always an excitement and a buzz about future NXT call-ups, no matter who it is with fans wondering what dream matches they might see and how they will debut, but nowadays the WWE Universe is becoming more cautious.

WWE only calls up the absolute best from NXT, all of which have the potential to be major superstars but for one reason or another, the vast majority are not treated in that way and that's an issue that's only going to continue.

Right now, NXT arguably has the most stacked roster in its history, which is really saying something, and there are going to be plenty of call-ups to come, but the chances are WWE will find a way to mess them up.

2 2018 Mistake: Daniel Bryan vs Big Cass

Whether people like to admit it or not, the spark surrounding Daniel Bryan is nowhere near the level that it was prior to his retirement. It isn't even close to when he made his return at WrestleMania 34.

One of the big reasons for that is down to the first major singles feud the company decided to put Bryan in upon his return from retirement, which happened to be against Big Cass.

Rather than giving fans a major feud they had been dreaming of since Bryan first retired, with talents like Shinsuke Nakamura, AJ Styles, or The Miz, WWE decided upon Big Cass and it simply sucked the excitement out of Bryan, something he is still recovering from.

1 2019 Mistake: Wasting Top Talent

Looking at the WWE roster, the amount of depth and quality that the company has right now is ridiculous, and is simply put, the deepest it has ever been. From NXT to the three main roster shows as well as everyone at the Performance Center, the options are endless for creative.

However, for some reason or another, the company has managed to waste countless incredible wrestlers, simply because the idea of change or taking a risk is something the company doesn't want to do, and that is only going to continue.

WWE might create major stars in the likes of Matt Riddle and Tommaso Ciampa, but the spots are limited on the main roster and for WWE tends to waste countless major names, an issue that will only continue.
