WWE Reportedly In Panic Ahead Of WWE WrestleMania 42

WrestleMania 42 is under two months away, and WWE is still finalising most of the matches on the card.

This is unusual for WrestleMania, which is the company’s biggest show of the year, and it is known for planning matches weeks or even months in advance.

The one confirmed match for this year’s Mania is the World Heavyweight Championship match between CM Punk and Royal Rumble winner Roman Reigns. WWE is yet to finalise its other main event and multiple other matches on the card.

Injuries to wrestlers and creative differences have led to problems behind the scenes, and multiple decisions are still being worked out after constant meetings amongst company leadership.

These delays are creating issues across the board with multiple departments like merchandising, marketing, and promotions, taking major hits because they don’t have a concrete card to promote.

WWE Higher-Ups Reportedly In Panic Over WrestleMania 42

According to WrestleVote Radio, injuries and constant changes have thrown WrestleMania plans into chaos, and officials are having to deal with extreme internal urgency.

Joey Votes revealed that there is a situation of panic inside WWE headquarters..

From what we’re hearing, there’s a lot of panic going on in Stamford right now. And I don’t use that word lightly. Panic may even be underselling it. There are constant meetings, constant discussions, constant updates being given left and right as they try to finalize this WrestleMania card.

Normally, by this point, a good portion of the WrestleMania card is set, locked in, and everybody knows where things are headed. That is not the case this year. Things are still very much in flux.

This isn’t just about creative direction. There are business elements tied into this. There are marketing plans, there are merchandise plans, there are promotional campaigns that all depend on knowing what these matches are going to be.

The urgency is imminent as Votes says that the plans have to be finalised this week with WrestleMania around the corner.

These decisions, we’re told, have to be finalized this week. There really isn’t much more time to delay, especially with WrestleMania being right around the corner.

There’s a lot of moving parts right now. A lot of moving parts, a lot of last minute changes. And it’s forcing them to have meeting after meeting after meeting trying to figure out what the final card is going to look like

They’re working against the clock at this point. They need to get these decisions made so everything else can fall into place
