10 Big Concerns Heading Into WWE WrestleMania 37

Randy Orton and The Fiend Bray Wyatt have been enjoying one of the most divisive storylines of the year. A slow-burn (no pun intended), the program has been somewhere between campy, terrifying and just downright bizarre. And though it's not for everybody, it has provided much of the WWE Universe with the wonderfully OTT escapism they have craved. But no amount of escapism could ever make us forget about the last time Randy Orton and Bray Wyatt met in the ring at WrestleMania.

Unquestionably one of the worst title matches of all time, the 10-minute dud felt far longer than it actually was and the lack of exciting action resulted in the crowd completely tuning out of it as well, making it that much harder to watch. It wasn't a cringe-worthy botch-fest, just a badly booked TV match that played to nobody's strength and isn't remembered for anything other than that hokey insect projection. It should never should have been allowed on any PPV let alone WrestleMania if that's what they were going to do with it.

With that in mind, you can see why fans are concerned about the rematch at this year's 'Mania, especially as this feud hasn't exactly been known for its wrestling. As there doesn't appear to be any stipulations to their match on Sunday, does that mean we have to watch them try to recreate this when we could just have them do something completely batsh*t and fun instead?
