Rumor Roundup: WWE’s Plan For The Fiend & Randy Orton, Matches That Won’t Happen, More

1) WWE’s Plan For The Fiend & Randy Orton

According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE was originally planning a ‘Firefly Fun House’ match for the Royal Rumble. This would have been Randy Orton vs The Fiend in a cinematic match.

This match was scrapped for the event but there is speculation that WWE could extend the feud until Wrestlemania 37. Here is what Meltzer wrote:

Orton vs Fiend was on the card for Rumble in a Firefly Fun House match and now it doesn’t appear to be. If it’s held for Mania and there is certainly speculation now that’s the case, that takes Orton vs. Edge out

My Take:

  • I am definitely down to see a cinematic match between them. Stretching the feud out to Wrestlemania will be tough but I am willing to give them a chance.
