Edge Reveals His Plans For WrestleMania Match Were Scrapped

WrestleMania 36 saw the one-on-one return of Edge. He and Randy Orton ended up having a near 40-minute Last Man Standing match with Orton falling to a con-chair-to.

However, we now know that much of the plan for their match was scrapped the day of. Edge recently appeared on Corey Graves’ After The Bell podcast where he revealed the details of his WrestleMania clash. Here is the full quote, courtesy of Cultaholic:

“The time that we filmed it didn’t coordinate with the ideas we had. So, we find that out on the day, hours before. So, we had to change everything, and that’s truly what you saw was a 40-minute audible, and I’m proud of that.

Initially, I had ideas of drones and going on rooftops, and again, we’re filming during sunlight so that’s not going to work. ‘Okay, lets shift focus here. How do we do this? No, right. It’s a fight. Let’s just go fight, and that’s what we did.”

It seems we could have seen a very different match. Due to the match being filmed in the daytime they weren’t able to have any of the match outside the building.

What do you think of Edge’s original concept of the match? Let us know on Twitter!
