10 Recently Revealed WWE Ideas That Were Pitched And Went Nowhere

10. Edge & Drones

Drones have been incorporated in wrestling before, most famously when Matt and Jeff Hardy battled over the Hardy name in the exceptionally absurd Final Deletion. Chris Jericho and the rest of The Inner Circle t have yelled and (with a baseball bat named Floyd) beat up and murdered Matt Hardy’s drone sidekick on AEW Dynamite only recently – with Matt later laying his good friend to rest in the ROAR (Reservoir Of Altering Rebirth).

WWE Hall-of-Famer Edge was a guest on After the Bell with Corey Graves to share some insight into his Last Man Standing match with Randy Orton at WrestleMania 36. Edge stressed that the story needed a fight feel, and he feels like they delivered on that. Edge went on to explain that he had ideas of utilizing drones and going up on rooftops during the match:-

“This story was dirty. It was ugly. It was personal. It feels like it should take place in the bowels of a boiler room or something. Like it shouldn’t be pretty. It shouldn’t be fancy. It should be two guys that are just beating the piss out of each other. It had to be a fight and initially, I had ideas of drones and going on rooftops. And again, we’re filming during you know, sunlight so that’s not going to work. Okay, cool let’s shift focus here. How do we do this? No, right. It’s a fight. Let’s just go fight and that’s what we did, and for that, I’m very proud.”

Maybe it’s for the best there wasn’t anything additional to that match given it went on for what felt like four hours…
