People keep saying tire, but the whole wheel came off. Still likely maintenance/inspection related.
Best to find out if the wheel issue led to going off the runway or going off the runway led to the wheel issue.
You're mixing up two incidents, we now have:
- the 737 MAX8 going into the greenery
- the 777-200 losing a wheel
- the 737 (21yo, not MAX) with an engine fire after takeoff (this sounds bad but can be just bird-rich intake air due to very poor luck)
- the 737-8 rudder servo freeze NTSB report (which is the only thing with actual insights available, the servo involved appears out of spec)
