The officials manage to save Daniel Bryan before he’s hit with a con-chair-to. Now more dangerous than ever, would THIS Edge be able to cut through Roman and Bryan to fulfill his destiny?

It will be a Triple Threat Match for the #UniversalTitle at #WrestleMania! @WWERomanReigns @EdgeRatedR @WWEDanielBryan @ScrapDaddyAP #SmackDown pic.twitter.com/Uk7BXANn7F

Pearce says that Bryan absolutely deserves a championship opportunity, and Roman will defend it only one time at WrestleMania. So what’s the solution? A Triple Threat match!

Edge and Reigns are fuming, leading to Bryan attacking Edge. Roman lays out Bryan with the Superman Punch, and gets a chair courtesy of Jey Uso. Before he can use it, Edge cuts him in half.

Jey is downed with a spear as well. Edge picks up a chair, cracking it over the spines of his two opponents.

Soon to join them are Edge and Daniel Bryan. What will be Pearce’s final decision?

Roode interferes to stop another 619 attempt. Dominik makes the save but is sent over the ropes by Roode. Rey takes out Roode and looks for a dive, but from mid-air, he's spiked off the mat with the Zig-Zag. 1-2-No! Mysterio just manages to kick out. Ziggler gets launched into the ropes for a 619, and a slingshot splash awards Rey the victory.

Rey Mysterio defeats Dolph Ziggler via pinfall.

What a KICK! 💥#SmackDown @reymysterio @HEELZiggler pic.twitter.com/rHEtgrsmEH

Ziggler counters a wheelbarrow bulldog, smashing Mysterio's face into the mat and following up with the Fameasser. Mysterio kicks out just in the nick of time.

Somehow, Rey is able to compete after that horrific powerbomb. Ziggler keeps up the pressure in the ring, choking out Rey in the ropes.

Rey Mysterio and Dolph Ziggler face off next, with Dominik Mysterio and Robert Roode at ringside. Mysterio sets Ziggler up for the 619 early, but is stunned with a back elbow from the SmackDown Tag Team Champion. Mysterio sends Ziggler to the floor for a hurricanrana, but Ziggler counters and launches him over the barricade onto the concrete floor.

Dominik goes to check on his dad and is caught with a superkick. Ziggler has just taken out two different generations of Mysterio.

The Head of the Table @WWERomanReigns’ shoe game remains unmatched!

The war of words continues between @BiancaBelairWWE & @SashaBanksWWE as they head towards their #SmackDown Women's Championship match at #WrestleMania! pic.twitter.com/xP4pMSbu3x

Edge goes into the lion's den, approaching Roman Reigns in his own private dressing room. Edge says that they've got the same goal, wanting a one-on-one match at WrestleMania. Daniel Bryan is trying to do the same thing he did in 2014, steal the spotlight of those deserving to main event on The Grandest Stage of Them All. Would Roman be okay with Edge pinning Bryan for the title, or vice-versa?

Great mind games from the Ultimate Opportunist. The sadistic and paranoid side of Edge has returned.

Nattie can't kick out of the K.O.D., however, giving Bianca a much-needed win as we inch closer to WrestleMania.

Bianca Belair defeats Natalya via pinfall.

Sasha attacks Bianca after the match, dropping her with a backstabber.

Is @SashaBanksWWE jealous of @BiancaBelairWWE? #SmackDown pic.twitter.com/xgz85VOv5n

Belair fires up, planting Natalya with a spinebuster. Nattie kicks out just in time and tries to roll out of harm's way from the handspring moonsault. Belair still hits it, but it's not enough for the win.

Banks joins commentary during the match, making Michael Cole say "Boss Time" and becoming an enemy of mine in the process. Belair, after moments of pressure and punishment, turns things around with a counter suplex.

We don't think @SashaBanksWWE is actually concerned about @BiancaBelairWWE. We could be wrong! #SmackDown pic.twitter.com/lsbgGKncrT

Belair goes for a few early pinfalls, getting close on a few occasions. A slam sets Belair up for a dive, but Sasha Banks' music hits. The SmackDown Women's Champion distracts Belair, allowing Natalya and Tamina to take over. As Nattie distracts the ref, Tamina rocks Belair with a superkick.

Next up, the No. 1 contender to the SmackDown Women's Championship, Bianca Belair, faces off against Natalya.

Gotta give WWE credit. Bad Bunny and Logan Paul are two very relevant gets for them with young audiences that could potentially turn into new fans. Very smart. https://t.co/M7AHbJd2qZ

It's a "yes!"@SamiZayn and @FightOwensFight are set to collide at #WrestleMania! #SmackDown pic.twitter.com/dMbon0oIeL
— WWE (@WWE) March 27, 2021

Owens beats Zayn around the ring before dropping him with a stunner. At WrestleMania, we'll get the next chapter in this more than decade-long feud that's crossed multiple promotions. Now that's a WrestleMania-worthy match.

Zayn reveals that next week they'll be debuting the trailer for his documentary, and even better than that is Logan Paul will be joining Zayn for the event next week. Zayn and Paul have been tweeting back and forth recently, with the YouTube star seemingly believing everything the snake oil salesman says. That's a pretty big deal for Zayn.

KO states that he doesn't care about the documentary, and the only reason he hasn't beaten Sami senseless at this point is that he needs an answer. What's been Kevin's question this whole time? He wants a WrestleMania match against Sami. The Great Liberator attempts to talk his way out of it, but Owens scares him into saying yes.

Sami immediately apologizes for kicking Owens last week. The conspiracy has just really affected him, and he crossed a line. Sami's hoping that was the question KO was going to ask, but it wasn't. His next guess was that Kevin wanted to be a part of the documentary despite what happened last week. Again, swing and a miss.

Kevin Owens is here for the KO Show and looks back at the moment where his former best friend kicked his head off last week. That same man was his guest this week. KO introduces Sami Zayn, who makes Owens wait.

Incredible offense from @WWEGable, as he, @otiswwe & @WWEApollo are working well together against the #StreetProfits & @WWEBigE! #SmackDown pic.twitter.com/iZflJre0Xv

Backstage with Adam Pearce, Edge makes his case about why Daniel Bryan doesn't deserve another shot at the Universal Championship. Pearce states that his job is to get all the facts and make the right decision. Edge threatens him, demanding he makes the right choice, "or else."
