You knew Roman Reigns would have to be repaid for his opportunist move of picking the bones of Daniel Bryan on Sunday.

Moments after effortlessly defeating a depleted Bryan to retain the Universal Championship, Roman turned around mid-celebration and was greeted with a vicious spear from Edge, who immediately pointed at the WrestleMania sign, indicating he had chosen who he would face in a world title match.

Edge promised to wait until after the Elimination Chamber to announced who he’d face, and he did… sort of. The attack really worked well, as Reigns had set himself up for an easy title defense by immediately facing the winner of a chamber match.

But Edge’s nickname of the Ultimate Opportunist was given to him after a Money in the Bank cash-in after a chamber match, so it was only fitting that the Rated-R Superstar showed the Head of the Table what it means to take advantage of a situation.
