#9 Edge says Roman Reigns should have ended The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak

Edge explains why Roman Reigns should have ended Undertaker's streak instead of Brock Lesnar

WWE Superstar Edge is headed to WrestleMania 37, where he will face Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan in the Universal Championship match. Ahead of the much-anticipated title bout, the Royal Rumble 2021 winner hailed Roman Reigns for his commitment to WWE and picked him as the one who should have ended The Undertaker’s WrestleMania streak instead of Brock Lesnar. Edge backed his claim by saying:

"I think that should have been saved for someone who you want to strap the rocket to. And you know and you trust and is going to like... to me, Roman Reigns was the guy to do it. And that's where it should have been done. I know I get that he's a believable one to do it, but okay, great, this is professional wrestling. It's not MMA. So to me, you do it with the character that you think is going to pull your cart for the next 10-15 years."

Edge did not like that his singles match for the title was turned into a triple-threat bout with Daniel Bryan’s addition. He recently confirmed his heel turn and is adamant about winning the world title at the upcoming WWE pay-per-view. However, that didn’t stop The Rated-R Superstar from applauding Reigns for his work ethic.

Reigns pinned The Undertaker at WrestleMania 33 and was subjected to a 15-min non-stop booing reaction from the crowd on the RAW after The Show of Shows. Many believed that it was the best time to turn him heel, but the change that finally happened with his WWE return at SummerSlam last year.
