Edge Reveals When WWE Decided To Make WrestleMania Match A Triple Threat

Roman Reigns defeated Edge and Daniel Bryan in the main event of WrestleMania 37. However, after the Royal Rumble it appeared that Edge would challenge Reigns in a singles match.

Now, Edge has revealed that they were told that WWE was planning to change plans to a Triple Threat match prior to Fastlane. At the show, Edge allowed Reigns to defeat Bryan. Here is the quote from Edge’s interview with Inside The Ropes, courtesy of Wrestling Inc.:

“I think in the build to Fastlane was when we were told it was going to change to a triple threat. The three of us have not talked about. I think it’s an unspoken thing we all know obviously, and what’s strange about is our stories, the journey of Adam, Bryan and Joe doesn’t help further the narrative. And it doesn’t help paint one guy as the villain and one guy as the hero.

It can muddy those waters. All of that being said, if you look at our three stories outside of the characters, I think those stories help invest in the characters more because you know what these three men have fought, scratched and clawed to get back this thing. All three of these separate journeys have thought, this is it. I know for me, this was it, so I can’t speak for them. I was done, and I was told I had no choice.

To have three guys in the position of having to main event after those stories, I’d like to think that helps you invest in the characters even more. I think that’s helped a lot with the build because there’s a lot of real involved. There’s a lot of truth involved, and in order for a storyline to fire on all cylinders, you got to have some truthful aspects to it, for the performers to pull it off and for the performers to have it feel genuine to the audience.”

Edge was the outside enforcer for the match at Fastlane and didn’t get involved until the finish. It was here that he hit Bryan with a chair as Bryan had Reigns in the Yes Lock.
