WWE Hall of Famer Edge won the 2021 men's Royal Rumble match last month and teased going after all the three top championships in WWE at the moment - the WWE Championship, the Universal Championship, and even the NXT Championship.
However, Edge made his intentions clear at WWE Elimination Chamber 2021 by delivering a Spear to Universal Champion Roman Reigns and then pointing towards the WrestleMania sign. WWE has since officially confirmed this match for WrestleMania 37, and fans can surely expect it to be the main event of one of the two nights of The Show of Shows this year.
Edge vs. Roman Roman Reigns is one of those fantasy matches that no one expected to see a little over a year ago. It'll be exciting to witness The Rated-R Superstar try to dethrone The Head of the Table, Roman Reigns, who has cemented himself as the top heel in all of WWE right now.
Let's take a look at five massive things that could happen if Edge defeats Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 37 to win the Universal Championship. Be sure to comment down and let us know your predictions for the same.
#5 Edge retires the Universal title and reintroduces the World Heavyweight Championship
The Universal Championship was introduced in 2016 after the brand split as the primary world title for Monday Night RAW. However, the decision was met with several negative reactions from the fans, mainly due to the look of the new title belt.
In 2019, Bray Wyatt brought the Universal Championship to SmackDown and changed the title belt from red to blue. Again, fans weren't happy with the way the title looked, with many even urging WWE to bring back the iconic World Heavyweight Championship belt in its place.
Now, Edge is an old-school wrestler and if he defeats Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 37, we might see Edge retire the Universal title and reintroduce the classic World Heavyweight title. It would be fitting as it was that very belt that Edge had to relinquish when he was forced to retire in 2011.
#4 One final World title reign for WWE Hall of Famer Edge
Edge's return to WWE at last year's Royal Rumble match was arguably one of the best and most shocking returns of all time. Edge, unfortunately, had to retire in 2011 due to his medical condition. Moreover, he retired as the World Champion and he surely deserves to have one final World title reign before he hangs his boots.
If Edge wins the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 37 by defeating Roman Reigns, it would likely be his final World title reign and one that he would want to make memorable for himself and the fans.
In the last few weeks, Edge has interacted with several Superstars on RAW, SmackDown, and NXT including the likes of Daniel Bryan, Finn Balor, Kevin Owens, and many others. We might see Edge feuding with some of these Superstars if he wins the Universal Championship.
#3 A possible fan outrage
Edge is a massive fan-favorite, there's no doubt about that. However, there will surely be a section of fans who won't be happy with WWE choosing him as the one to end Roman Reigns' reign of terror (no pun intended). The reason being simply that Edge is after all a part-timer and doesn't really need any more accomplishments in his Hall of Fame career.
We saw a glimpse of this fan outrage when Edge won the 2021 men's Royal Rumble match. While fans were happy to see him return and compete in the match, there was a section that wasn't happy with him winning the match, possibly taking the spotlight from a young Superstar.
Roman Reigns is the biggest thing in WWE at the moment, and whoever finally dethrones him will be the new hottest thing. The question is, should WWE use this to build a new Superstar instead of letting an already established veteran like Edge get the honors?
#2 Roman Reigns' character gets some tweaks after losing to Edge
Roman Reigns losing the Universal Championship to Edge at WrestleMania 37 will be a massive moment. WWE has done an incredible job with the entire 'Head of the Table' persona of Roman Reigns. But things are sure to change once he gets dethroned.
Now, there's no need to turn him back to a babyface as there's still a lot of potential in his heel character that hasn't been explored yet. But we might see some tweaks in his character if he loses to Edge at WrestleMania. Possibly a version where he's not completely overwhelmed by himself and has a more realistic view of things, while still being a heel.
#1 A possible heel turn for The Rated-R Superstar?
Edge has been a babyface ever since his return last year and it makes all the sense for him to be one, especially since he returned from a massive career-ending injury, becoming an inspiration for many.
However, some of Edge's best work in WWE has been as a massive heel. Who can forget the first-ever Money in the Bank cash-in at New Year's Revolution in 2006 when Edge, The Ultimate Opportunist, defeated a bloodied John Cena to win his first world championship.
When Daniel Bryan returned in 2018, no one expected him to turn heel. But he did and had a great run as the WWE Champion. While Edge is a massive babyface right now, he might possibly turn heel later this year in what would be a nostalgic moment for all the fans of The Rated-R Superstar.
