St Petersburg, Florida – Tropicana Field

Roman Reigns promo

The show kicks off with none other than Roman Reigns, who comes out with Paul Heyman and Jey Uso. We get a video package going over what happened at WWE Elimination Chamber on Sunday. Reigns says that as the head of the table he steps up and saves this place. He did just that by defending his WWE Universal Championship against Daniel Bryan, who he smashed. Roman says it was the “most exciting ass whooping of the year, maybe the decade.”

However, his defense wasn’t perfect due to Edge showing up. He tells Edge to back out since he has a beautiful family, and Reigns doesn’t want to hurt him. “Get it through that thick head of yours. This is why a man like you just doesn’t stand a chance against a man like me,” Reigns proclaims.

Reigns is then interrupted by Daniel Bryan. “The Leader of the Yes Movement” takes umbrage with Reigns’ description of their match. Bryan mockingly says that Reigns deserves to be celebrated, but he’s heard rumblings that other people found Roman’s actions cowardly. Bryan says the head of the table should’ve faced him in the main event rather than right after the Elimination Chamber and that it shows he isn’t a true champion. Bryan offers Roman a chance to prove everyone wrong by facing him for the belt at WWE Fastlane on March 21.

Jey Uso then takes the microphone and tells “D-Bry” that he’s at the back of the line now. Uso tells Bryan to face the right-hand man before trying to get another title shot. Reigns then stares down Bryan and says, “You really want me to hurt you again?” Uso then cheap shots Bryan and throws him over the barricade.

Edge welcomes us and says he had a lot of choices to make. He talks about WWE Champion Drew McIntyre defending his title inside the Elimination Chamber, and WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns defending his title at Elimination Chamber. Edge says there are 13 potential opponent and he has to pick someone for WrestleMania 37. This is the biggest decision of his career.

Reigns and Edge stare each other down as Reigns slowly walks down and stops at ringside. Fans chant “you suck!” as they enter the ring. Reigns says Edge does not have 13 to choose from because there’s only 1 and that 1 is about to be a six-time WrestleMania main eventer. Edge can pick a main eventer, or he can pick the main eventer. Edge talks about how he saw Reigns lose his cool last week, which is rare. Edge realized Reigns needs him to be in the WrestleMania 37 main event. If Edge faces AJ Styles or anyone else, then that’s your main event. Edge sees Reigns’ insecurity.

Edge gives Reigns some praise but says he’s cracking under pressure, and Edge hasn’t even focused on him yet. Edge asks if Reigns really wants him to test his armor and focus on him. Think about that long and hard, is that what you want? The music interrupts and out comes Sami Zayn with his documentary film crew. Sami starts ranting about WWE disrespecting him every week but to be disrespected by two of the biggest stars, that’s something else. Edge is acting like Sami can’t make it to WrestleMania, and Reigns is so worried about Edge he’s not seeing the other threats in front of him. Sami is in the ring now, ranting to both Edge and Reigns. Sami wants his moment right now. continue reading
