One of the biggest stories over the past few weeks in the wrestling world has been WWE’s decision to book Roman Reigns vs John Cena at No Mercy. Many fans believed that this match should have been saved for the ‘grandest stage of them all’, Wrestlemania.
Someone who shares this same opinion is WWE Hall of Famer: Edge. On the latest episode of E&C’s Pod Of Awesomeness, Edge explained his issue with the match happening at No Mercy.
“So here’s where I’ve got to start: why No Mercy? Why? There [has] got to be something going on there. You don’t do this at [No Mercy]. That’s a WrestleMania match! Back to my Brock Lesnar/Samoa Joe. Imagine you put Brock Lesnar/Samoa Joe and Roman Reigns/John Cena on WrestleMania. Sold. Hold on! I’m great-balls-of-fired-up about it, man! You put it on Great Balls Of Fire and you put it on No Mercy. Come on! Like, what?”
He continued, saying that there were plenty of other opponents for WWE to do over the next few months instead:
“They each have all kinds of opponents. You didn’t have to [book the match now]. That’s all I’m saying, man. There [are] loads of people that you could’ve got through and started those around Royal Rumble season and nobody would’ve touched each other and you have two fresh matches that haven’t happened that people want to see and want to talk about. That’s my take on that.”
Edge finished it off by saying:
“Again, it’s WrestleMania. I don’t know why it’s happening at No Mercy. There [has] got to be something scheduling-wise as to why it’s not. Otherwise, ‘WTF,’ as the kids say these days, Bird, WTF.”
