The WWE Universal Championship match is set to main event night 2 of WrestleMania 37. Despite losing to Roman Reigns at WWE Fastlane after getting assaulted by Edge, Daniel Bryan is expected to be added to the title match at 'Mania.

Dave Meltzer revealed several details regarding the significant WrestleMania 37 change during the Wrestling Observer Radio's recent edition. Meltzer noted that Vince McMahon tore up the major WrestleMania plans not too long ago, and the WWE Universal title match was of top priority.

Vince McMahon understood that the Universal title showdown is a crucial contest on the WrestleMania card, and there were many ideas pitched backstage by the WWE creative team.

"The story on this is when Vince decided to tear up the show…he wanted some changes, he wasn't satisfied. Evidently, this is the match he wanted changed, the key match. There were all kinds of ideas thrown around, and from what I was told, most of them weren't good, but this was the best of the ideas was to make it a three-way.

Meltzer noted that making the match a triple threat was the best option on the table. Edge, Roman Reigns, and Daniel Bryan are considered excellent in-ring workers, which was cited as the main reason behind the change

"The idea is it's three guys who are really good workers. I thought that it was one of those things where they were afraid that Roman Reigns was gonna get cheered against Edge and f**k up the match. I thought that, but that is not the reason…I think that he just felt that it wasn't what he wanted and it was what he wanted, and now it wasn't what he wanted. So Daniel Bryan is in there, and Edge is a heel, which I guess is what he wanted, so there you go." H/t WrestlingNews.co

Fightful Select additionally reported that the creative decision to include Daniel Bryan in the WrestleMania match was made in the last week of February.
