WWE Fastlane 2021: 10 Things That Must Happen
2. Edge Accidentally Costs Daniel Bryan
The other 'World Title' match at 'Mania is going to be a singles anyway.
Time to play predictor. Edge will beat Jey Uso on Friday's SmackDown to become the 'Guest Enforcer' for Roman Reigns vs. Daniel Bryan at Fastlane. Then, on the pay-per-view, the Canadian will get so swept up in his hatred for Reigns that he'll accidentally cost Bryan the chance to become Universal Champ.
WWE will achieve three things by doing it this way. One, they'll keep the belt on Roman, which shouldn't even be up for debate given how strong his character is. Two, they'll keep Daniel strong enough for another title push later on this year. Three, they'll sow seeds for a Bryan vs. Edge encounter that everyone wants to see before 2021 is out.
As an added bonus, Reigns would also secure a sneaky escape from certain doom. That's been a hallmark of his title run over the past few months; he barely escaped as Universal Champ against Kevin Owens at the Royal Rumble, for example.
