As reported previously, WrestleVotes had stated that WWE may be planning to have The Fiend face Edge at WrestleMania next year. In a new update, it has been reported that one of the plans being considered for the grandest stage of them all is to have Alexa Bliss and Bray Wyatt facing real-life couple Edge and Beth Phoenix.

However, it has also been stated that these plans are tentative and Randy Orton vs Edge still seems to be the most favoured plan of action for WrestleMania 37.

''Source states the initial idea came up as names were thrown around as possible opponents for a Wyatt & Bliss team at Mania. Edge & Beth Phoenix were mentioned. Source states both matches are "unlikely". Orton vs Edge remains the plan as of now.''

Beth Phoenix has made numerous appearances on WWE over the past few years but is not on the active roster. The Glamazon is currently part of the NXT announce team and having her step inside the ring with her husband would truly be a great moment.

The Tribal Chief Roman Reigns has made SmackDown his personal playground ever since becoming the WWE Universal Champion. Interestingly, Dave Meltzer of WOR noted that even though Reigns is going strong as the Universal Champion, the original plans were for him to have a very short reign as the Champion.

''Roman Reigns probably isn't losing the title any time soon but who knows because Roman Reigns with a long title run was not the idea, believe it or not. Even though it seems so obvious it was not the idea. I don't know what the... I have no idea who's the guy who was supposed to be the champion because they've basically devalued everybody else.''

Roman Reigns is set to face WWE Champion Drew McIntyre at Survivor Series. The match will not be for any Championship but will be crucial to see who WWE favors more. There are also rumors that Kevin Owens or Daniel Bryan will be feuding with Roman Reigns next.

#3 Possible reason WWE Superstar The Miz became the MITB holder

WWE Superstar The Miz defeated Otis at HIAC to become the new Mr. MITB. This is the second time in history that the winner of the MITB ladder match has lost his contract to another Superstar.

It was believed that the reason for Otis losing the contract was that WWE did not have enough confidence in the Superstar to cash-in the contract. Dave Meltzer of WOR has stated that there are currently no plans for The Miz to cash in either.

''He better not cash-in because that would be... you know, I think it's on him because they needed a guy who could not cash it in this year, you know, because the whole idea is they're going to strong with Randy Orton or Drew''

The Miz is a former MITB winner and won his first WWE Championship by cashing in his contract. While there may not be any immediate plans for The Miz to cash-in, it is possible that WWE changes their minds soon and give The Miz his second reign as the WWE Champion.

#2 WWE Superstar Becky Lynch shows her baby bump in new photoshoot

The Man Becky Lynch has been absent from WWE ever since she announced her pregnancy and relinquished the RAW Women's Championship following MITB. Now, Becky Lynch has released some pictures from her pregnancy photoshoot along with her partner Seth Rollins.

It had been reported that Seth Rollins will also be taking a sabbatical from WWE soon and will be returning in January 2021.

"Becky Lynch is about to give birth within a week or two. That's why they blew off the Rey thing this week and they're gonna do the Seth Rollins and Murphy match next week and then the Survivor Series and probably after Survivor Series, maybe a week after [he will stick around]. He's gonna be gone probably until the first of the year maybe. I don't know if there's a definite date but that's out and that story is out and that story is true." H/T: WrestlingNewsCo

Some reports also stated that Vince McMahon wants Becky Lynch to return by WrestleMania 37 next year so that a match between The Man and Ronda Rousey could take place.

The Undertaker is one of WWE's most popular and iconic Superstars. It would be hard to imagine now but The Undertaker was initially brought in WWE 30 years ago to be a major heel. However, the love and adulation of fans all across the globe led to The Deadman becoming a babyface.

While speaking to Yahoo Sports, The Undertaker revealed how his match with Hulk Hogan was crucial in the fans turning him into a 'good guy'. The Undertaker had faced The Hulkster at Survivor Series 1991 for the WWE Championship.

"You're nervous, then when you do the walkout that night it threw me off because it was like 60-40 the crowd was behind me. [The fans turned me] and I was the babyface. Here I am trying to be this killer, this scary dude, and you come out and the crowd is leaning toward you. You have to put that out of your mind so you can do business and be what you're supposed to be, but it was amazing."

WWE will be holding 'The Final Farewell' for The Undertaker at the upcoming Survivor Series PPV.
