#2. Original WrestleMania 37 main event, details of WWE currently having no clear direction

WWE's problems all began with Edge's unfortunate injury at Backlash, and the company has since been changing plans for its top angles on RAW.

Dave Meltzer revealed in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the plan was for Randy Orton and Edge to main event WrestleMania 37 in an 'I Quit match.'

WWE was not even sure whether Randy Orton would be the WWE Champion for the match, but it was discussed.

Based on backstage update, WWE no longer has a definite direction for the main event of WrestleMania 37.

Meltzer noted the following:

At one point, WrestleMania was to be headlined by Orton vs. Edge in an I Quit match. It was not a lock that Orton would be champion, but it was something under discussion. At last word, there was no longer a 100 percent clear main event direction for the show.

Contrary to all the speculation, Drew McIntyre retained the WWE title against Orton at SummerSlam. It was even more surprising when WWE wrote McIntyre off TV and booked Orton vs. Keith Lee for Payback.

The current direction for the immediate future would be to build up for a Randy Orton vs. Drew McIntyre WWE title rematch at Clash of Champions.

While WWE may have a short-term plan, the long-term angle for the main event of WrestleMania 37 is still in limbo.
