I find it curious that the majority of viewers are happy to see shows like the Walking Dead unfold in ways they hadn't thought of. However when it comes to wrestling, if a storyline begins to veer off what they assumed was going to happen, people begin to bash the product.

I'd say no at least in regards to a real happy medium. Not going to be able to please everyone while WWE's Creative has done a poor job over the years keeping people interested in their shows.
Wouldn't really matter if you knew or didn't know the plans ahead of time if the WWE still struggles to make a coherent story out of it. For example, WWE has done a pretty terrible job with the storytelling of RAW's women's division because every feel good moment never lasts or they just keep reverting back to the same story in the end with Charlotte as champ.
In regards to the Walking Dead stuff, that show has been getting complaints almost from day 1 because of how split the fandom is for the series. Even ignoring comic fans, the tv fanbase itself is very split and shows whenever something big happens in story or direction for the show.
