#2. Hope isn't true: Is WWE planning to copy AEW for WrestleMania 37?

Could WWE be trying something unoriginal?

Randy Orton vs. "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt is one of the matches that WWE is reportedly planning for WrestleMania 37. According to Dave Meltzer of WON, WWE could be copying the Exploding Barbed-Wire Match, or at least the finish to it.

AEW Revolution saw the "fireworks" moment become a dud due to technical issues. While it was deflating, Meltzer believes that WWE may try to one-up their rivals:

"They could show up AEW and all if the explosion at the end is spectacular, which really isn’t what this is about, but simply that there are so few things proven today to really move numbers and this was proven just this past week to do so. Yes, it would seem (like) copying, but if they pull it off and the explosions work, it would not have the negative of outright copying but instead the aura of doing it better."

We hope this isn't true because it feels so unnecessary. While The Fiend vs. Randy Orton being in a gimmick match isn't a bad idea, the explosions to take shots at AEW seem unnecessary.
