5 Reasons why Edge challenged Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 37

#2 Edge with a shot at making history by defeating Roman Reigns at WrestleMania

Edge was determined to write his own story

Edge could defeat Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania and script history by becoming the only WWE Superstar to win three different world titles. The Rated-R Superstar is a four-time WWE Champion and a seven-time World Heavyweight Champion.

Two months from now, he can get his hands on the Universal Championship after defeating Roman Reigns. This will give Edge his WrestleMania moment and a world title – something that he was forced to give up due to his career-ending injury. He has worked hard to step back inside the ring, and this victory will bring his return to a full circle.

Alberto Del Rio returning to WWE?

Roman Reigns has held the title for a long time and could lose the gold at WrestleMania. Even if Edge drops his title four weeks after winning it, he will have a chance to bid farewell to the business on his terms. This was all that he wanted. This feud will feature two Superstars who have defied all odds to return to the squared circle.

Roman Reigns understands the desperate urge to fight against unexpected adversities. He will do well in assisting Edge in a wonderfully inspirational story about never giving up on one’s dreams. He made a surprise return at Royal Rumble, won the tenacious battle in the following year, and can now headline WrestleMania - a comeback story does not get better than this.
