Running off Roman Reigns and new cohort Apollo Crews, Edge will clear the ring of the heels before confirming that he will compete for 'The Tribal Chief's Universal Championship at WrestleMania 37. What was once the least appealing of three options has forcibly become the best of the bunch, and WWE will look to inject it with life from the off here.

Of course, 'The Rated-R Superstar' will have to hop over the plot hole he inadvertently dug when he visited NXT in the week after the Royal Rumble.

There, he noted how he'd be looking on as Finn Bálor and Pete Dunne went to war at TakeOver: Vengeance Day, implying that if the action was hot enough he'd not be able to pull himself away from the fire come WrestleMania weekend. Choosing Reigns and the Universal Championship will, by the same implication, suggest that they failed to electrify him. Not ideal, but not a lot about losing a ratings war you started is, soooo...
