More On The Changed Finish And Original Plans For Randy Orton And The Fiend At WrestleMania

While WWE had many predictable finishes at WrestleMania 37, not all of them were ones you saw coming.

We reported how many finishes were changed suddenly before the show and one of them happened to be the match involving Wyatt and Orton. Fightful Select has learned that apparently there was a lack of planning around the end result of this match.

If the Fiend/Randy Orton climax at WrestleMania wasn’t what you were expecting, you aren’t alone. In fact, the talent are among those.

Fightful has learned that the plan as of Friday before WrestleMania was much different. However, it was changed over the weekend to Randy Orton emerging victorious in a different way. There was never a plan in order for a Firefly Funhouse, and beyond that, those associated with the angle were never given an endgame at any point, outside of the fact that it would write Orton off of television for a good period of time. A “surprise” finish was pitched over the weekend, and we’re told Bruce Prichard and Vince McMahon were instrumental in the change and the decision making associated.

We were told that management seemed happy with the finish as it played out, but talent we’ve heard from were exceedingly confused.

The finish certainly left a lot of people confused. Not many people saw the betrayal of Alexa Bliss coming, and it wound up delivering quite a bizarre match and an even more bizarre and abrupt finish. Who knows what the endgame for this feud might be now, or if that was it. Whatever the case is, it certainly seems like this is one more example of WWE not locking down plans ahead of time.
