Yeup and all because WWE decided to use their patent booking of taking what should have been a very hot and money making feud on paper and quickly turned it into a very uninteresting Mania build.
Mania has 11 matches announced so far and I'd argue only 3 of them have felt Mania worthy in terms of interest and/or build. Would have been 4 had they held off the IC title match at Fastlane or didn't do that buzz kill of a finish solely to artificially extend the Big E vs. Apollo feud into Mania.
At least last year's Road to Mania had the excuse of WWE's plans being thrown into complete chaos once the pandemic really sunk its teeth in but it still managed to have a better overall build than this year's Mania by comparison. Only real issues were WWE bloating Mania 36's card at the last minute and wasting valuable hours on airing lengthy past classic matches solely to eat up time that could have been used to improve the build for those extra matches instead.
