1) Details On WWE Changing Edge vs Roman Reigns
It was announced on Smackdown that we will be getting a triple threat match for the Universal Title at Wrestlemania 37. It will be Daniel Bryan vs Roman Reigns vs Edge.
According to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Edge’s appearance played a role in Vince McMahon changing this match. It was also changed because Vince wanted to shake things up. Here is what Meltzer wrote:
That was a late change stemming from a decision made by Vince McMahon that he wanted a number of things changed, including Reigns vs. Edge. Numerous suggestions were made by a lot of people, most of which were said to be bad. The one eventually greenlit was adding Bryan to the match, which everyone agreed to. At that point the feeling was Bryan would be the face. There was a lot of conjecture that Reigns would have been cheered over Edge, and that may have happened and may have led to Edge going heel, but we’re told that was not the reason the match was changed. One person close to the situation said that the age issue, not as much the number as the look of age (“he was looking older each week”) with Edge was a concerning point. But really, it was said it was just McMahon wanting to shake up the plans …
Bryan isn’t nearly as hot [as he was in 2014], but the belief is that he won’t be booed. Reigns may still be cheered as there is no way of knowing since it’s the first show in a year with a large real crowd and real crowd reactions. Edge is expecting to be booed given how his interference took place at Fast Lane.
My Take:
- I think that Edge looks great so I don’t know what Vince is talking about. I am happy that Daniel Bryan got added to the match because I love the story but I would have been completely fine with Edge vs Reigns as a singles match.
