#5. Is another stipulation to be added to Edge vs Randy Orton?

From a psychological and storytelling perspective, no feud heading into WrestleMania is better than Edge vs Randy Orton. It was clear the night after the Royal Rumble that Edge facing his old tag team partner was the direction, and as it turns out, it was the right one.

It allowed Orton to transition back into being a heel and a motivated Orton is the best one that we can ask for. His heel work has stood out from the rest this season and is bordering on some of his best work in the past decade.

Usually, we expect such matches to turn out to be underwhelming, but this could be similar to Triple H vs Batista at WrestleMania 35 - where it's an underrated masterclass in psychology. Orton accepted the last man standing stipulation after cutting a scathing promo and vowed to retire Edge again.

We wouldn't be surprised to see a retirement stipulation added - setting up Edge for a huge win at the show of shows.
