#5. Hope isn't true: WWE still not locked on WrestleMania 37 world title matches?

Drew McIntyre and Roman Reigns seem poised to be WWE World Champions heading into WrestleMania 37. While Drew McIntyre's status as WWE Champion is less certain due to his upcoming Royal Rumble match against Goldberg, Roman Reigns being the Universal Champion at WrestleMania 37 seems certain.

Royal Rumble is just a week away as of this writing, and given that it's the beginning of the road to WrestleMania, one would assume that WWE has plans locked in for the two World title matches at The Grandest Stage Of Them All.

However, that doesn't appear to be the case. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported that WWE doesn't have any concrete plan in place for the two World Championship matches:

"The reason there has been no television direction for the main matches at Mania and you don’t hear anything about them is because there isn’t any. The only thing we know is the top Raw championship matches are not locked in. On Smackdown, Reigns has two different opponents that are being considered so Bryan is not a lock"

We hope this isn't true, because booking matches without much build in the last month doesn't give them a big fight feel like it needs to.
