‘The Viper’ Randy Orton will be facing ‘The Fiend Bray Wyatt during this year’s edition of WWE WrestleMania. However, during a recent WrestleMania conference call ‘The Rated R Superstar’ and 2021 Men’s Royal Rumble Winner, Edge stated that his scheduled match against Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan for the WWE Universal Championship was not the original plan as his most recent injury prevented a planned WrestleMania match between himself and Randy Orton, but they were pulled from the match.

“It seemed to change everything. It was me and Randy at WrestleMania, me and Randy at WrestleMania, me and Randy at WrestleMania, that’s what my working plan was the whole time. Until I was told that it wasn’t the company’s plan.”
Edge continued: “I was pretty disappointed. I really wanted to – I just felt like, the story deserved that. So when I found out that wasn’t on the dock anymore, I was like “okay, so then, what?”, and it’s worked out the way it has, which is obviously very exciting. And honestly… look, I go from thinking I’m wrestling Randy Orton at WrestleMania, which is a dream, to wrestling Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania for the Universal title. That’s a dream, too.”
