For the first time ever, Survivor Series has passed, and the plans for WrestleMania season are NOT secure.

There is always at least a suggested plan in place that normally becomes the final plan. But it is reported that no-one knows what is happening between the Royal Rumble and WrestleMania pay-per-views. This shall be nearly 3 important months that need to be figured out.

Another problem is that the WWE have also noticed how many pay-per-view main events and title matches have not had clean finishes this year. And right now the WWE cannot afford to simply stop having controversial main event endings. For example, if Punk defeats Ryback without outside interference at TLC - Tables, Ladders and Chairs, he will look particularly strong going into his title defense against the Rock at the Royal Rumble. Meanwhile, Ryback would unquestionably be defeated and will lose a lot of his momentum and marketability so close the the Royal Rumble match itself. If Ryback won fairly, then he will be an inexperienced opponent that would have to lose the title to Rock, again hurting his marketability.

Writers have also noticed that the current story line with Cena / Ziggler / AJ / Vickie Guerrero is making less and less sense. Guerrero is currently serving as the Interim RAW General Manager after accusing the previous RAW GM AJ of being romantically linked to a RAW roster member (Cena). However, Guerrero herself has been romantically linked to either Edge or Dolph Ziggler during all of her runs as an on-air authority figure.
