Last week, WWE piped in some boos during Edge's opening in-ring promo. That was one of the first times they'd done that for Mr. 'Rated-R', and you'd think they'd continue this trend heading into 'Mania. Apparently not.

There were no boos to be heard when Bryan brought up Edge's name here.

Instead, WWE's production team kept their fingers off the 'boo.exe' button until Roman Reigns was mentioned. Then, they spammed it so he'd be clearly presented as the villain of the piece. Have the company changed their minds on Edge?
