WWE haven't yet settled on a tagline for the upcoming WrestleMania weekender, but Bryan has something they can work with. He told Cole that Edge vs. Roman Reigns was "Attitude Era vs. The ThunderDome", which is...one way to put it.

It's unclear whether or not Daniel was winging it here and only spitballing to kill time before Reigns and pals interrupted him. That could be all it is, and yet he really emphasised the concept of late-90s favourite (Edge) going up against reborn, crowd-less heel (Roman).
