Inside backstage chaos at WrestleMania 37 caused by rain delay with Vince McMahon and Co forced to fill 35-minute gap

WWE were forced to scramble backstage at WrestleMania 37 after poor weather conditions caused delays to the show.

Fightful Select described the “chaotic” scenes that played out during the 35-minutes of unscripted content that kicked off the Show of Shows.

Vince McMahon’s company instead had wrestlers cut improvised promos at the start of WrestleMania night one on April 10th.

The report adds that the likes of Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre were either sent to address the viewers with minimal instruction.

That meant they were put on the spot to garner hype for the show due to the on-the-fly changes while others pitched their own ideas.

WWE officials are said to be satisfied with what eventually was shown on screen and happy with their stars for handling a difficult situation.

Fighftul also refuted the idea that McMahon and Co. considered airing actual matches backstage if the rain caused ‘Mania to be postponed.

WWE has since edited the entire weather delay from the night one upload on the WWE Network.

WWE welcomed fans back for the first time in over a year – but poor weather forced those inside the Raymond James Stadium to be evacuated.

After an hour under shelter, fans were able to return to their seats with the event going ahead without further issues.
