WWE News Roundup: Popular star reveals new look, Roman Reigns' rival breaks character, former champion's inquiry about Aalyah Mysterio (July 16, 2021)

#4 WWE Hall of Famer Edge breaks character to praise Roman Reigns

Edge and Roman Reigns are currently feuding over the Universal Championship on WWE SmackDown. Reigns is set to defend the title against the WWE legend at Money in the Bank 2021.

While both stars have crossed paths several times this year, WWE's upcoming pay-per-view will be the first time they get to fight each other in one-on-one competition.

During the latest edition of WWE's The Bump, Edge explained how grateful he was to be an active competitor today. He also broke character, praising Roman Reigns and The Usos in the process.

"The fact that I'm even doing this, that for me, like I get lost for words sometimes when I stop and try to think about it because it's really overwhelming that I'm back in here doing this," said Edge. "And there are times, as cliche as it sounds, I gotta pinch myself. And I know when we get to Houston and I hear that audience, and I'm out there watching Rey hit 619s and then look over and Dom, who's almost my height now, going 'what, this is happening!' And we are here with The Usos, who to me are an all-time tag team, and Roman Reigns, who is clearly well on his way to being an all-time talent within the industry. Man, it's all just a gift. It really is. And that's how I'm attacking this whole thing. It's just awesome, I don't know how else to put it."

Edge is not the only veteran who has praised Roman Reigns recently.

Many industry experts, including The Undertaker, believe that Reigns is one of the most compelling WWE Superstars today.
