In a recent appearance on the Sports Illustrated Media Podcast with Jimmy Traina, the Rated R Superstar was asked for his opinion on the circumstances surrounding WrestleMania 36. Last year’s WrestleMania famously emanated from WWE’s Performance Center in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
While Edge himself did perform at last year’s event, competing in a grueling Last Man Standing match against Randy Orton, he said his thoughts were with superstars like McIntyre and Ripley. Both stars appeared in arguably the biggest matches of their careers in front of no fans:
McIntyre will face Bobby Lashley for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 37, while Ripley will face Asuka for the RAW Women’s Championship. Thankfully, there will be a limited capacity audience in attendance, offering both stars a chance to enjoy a crowning moment with fans present.
Edge on WrestleMania and the pandemic - “There is way bigger things going on”
During the conversation with Jimmy Traina, Edge admitted he was disappointed there would be no fans present at last year’s WrestleMania. However, the former WWE Champion also realized that the gravity of the pandemic outshone these kinds of issues:
Edge is set to face Daniel Bryan and Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania 37.
