Edge was fired up that night as he was out for revenge. The 2021 Royal Rumble winner didn't receive a fair one-on-one shot at the Universal Championship, as Daniel Bryan was part of the match at WrestleMania.

The Hall of Famer made his intentions clear by viciously assaulting Reigns. Jimmy Uso ran to the aid of his cousin, but he felt Edge's wrath. Fans had never seen such a surprising look of fear on the WWE Universal Champion's face as Edge obliterated his cousin.

Reigns and Edge went to war at WWE Money in the Bank, but the Tribal Chief emerged victorious after Seth Rollins interfered to cost the challenger the match.
