There’s no concrete update on which match Edge will be participating at WWE WrestleMania 36 but it could be against Randy Orton. The legendary wrestler has said to possess an ability to create magic inside the ring with other wrestlers. He would start off showing that with his former tag team partner cum bitter enemy. Plus, the altercation during the Royal Rumble match could be used to build up a WrestleMania 36 storyline.
