#1. Daniel Bryan's future compared to Edge's

Before Edge, it was Daniel Bryan who miraculously recovered from his career-ending injury and returned two years later in 2018. Bryan has been open about the fact that his career in wrestling is winding down and that he will likely transition into a part-time role.

The story of the match is that this could be Daniel Bryan's final WrestleMania. If so, it's hard to choose better opponents than Roman Reigns and Edge. We're not sure if Bryan will win, but many will now argue that he should win over Edge because it could be the final time he ever wins a World title.

The same could be said about The Rated-R Superstar. But with Edge almost certain to have more WrestleMania appearances in the future, a heel turn is justified given Daniel Bryan's status as a babyface.

Getting unfairly played out of the Universal title picture and then getting assaulted by Edge made Daniel Bryan an even bigger babyface. It will be interesting to see if the fans cheer or boo Edge at WrestleMania 37.
