The rivalry between Edge and Seth Rollins has to be regarded as the best WWE feud of 2021. What started as two superstars wanting to get a shot at the Universal Championship became a bitter, personal issue that escalated into aggression as the months went on. After Rollins did a home invasion at Edge's house, there was no turning back and Hell In A Cell was the only option.

At WWE Crown Jewel 2021, the show kicked off with the final battle between these rivals inside Satan's Structure. This was everything that it should have been. The Saudi Arabia crowd were molten hot to see their first big WWE show in almost two years. Rollins put his body on the line in this one, especially when he was launched into the cell and went through a table at ringside.

Edge returned and entered the 2021 Men's Royal Rumble Match from the number one spot. However, he didn't let this or his enemy Randy Orton get in the way of his goal of winning and getting back to the main event of WrestleMania. The Rated R Superstar chose Roman Reigns and the WWE Universal Championship to challenge at the Show of Shows.

The months following Royal Rumble saw Daniel Bryan repeatedly insert himself into the title scene after Roman screwed him out of his earned opportunity at Elimination Chamber. Edge was annoyed by this and eventually cost Bryan the title at Fastlane 2021. This forced Adam Pearce to make the WrestleMania 37 Night 2 main event a triple threat with all three men.

Reigns, Bryan and Edge have all faced career-threatening situations, which made this even more special and was also showcased. These superstars all wrestled like this was their last match with desperation and passion. There were tons of emotion, wild moments and huge amounts of drama. Roman retained the WWE Universal Title by stacking his opponents and pinning both men.
