Edge Reveals Original Plans For Him At WrestleMania 37

Edge returned to the ring a few months ago at the Royal Rumble pay-per-view, and he punched his ticket to WrestleMania when he managed to win the 30 man Royal Rumble match.

The Rated R Superstar made it clear that he wanted to challenge Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship at the Show of Shows, and in recent weeks Daniel Bryan was added to the match to make it a triple threat.

However, Edge noted during a recent WrestleMania media call that originally he was supposed to face Randy Orton at WrestleMania 37.

“It seemed to change everything. It was me and Randy at WrestleMania, me and Randy at WrestleMania, me and Randy at WrestleMania, that’s what my working plan was the whole time. Until I was told that it wasn’t the company’s plan.”

“I was pretty disappointed. I really wanted to – I just felt like, the story deserved that. So when I found out that wasn’t on the dock anymore, I was like “okay, so then, what?”, and it’s worked out the way it has, which is obviously very exciting. And honestly… look, I go from thinking I’m wrestling Randy Orton at WrestleMania, which is a dream, to wrestling Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania for the Universal title. That’s a dream, too.”

Edge and Randy Orton previously faced off in a Last Man Standing match at WrestleMania 36. They went on to face off once again in the Greatest Wrestling Match Ever at the Backlash pay-per-view, but Edge unfortunately suffered an injury while the match was being taped.

It had been rumored for some time that WWE planned to put the Orton vs. Edge feud back into the spotlight for Mania this year, but it looks like the company decided to change course.
