Money In The Bank 2021: Spoiler On WWE Universal Title Match

WWE officially announced Edge vs. Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship for Money in the bank 2021 PPV event. This match is likely to be a filler one as the company is eyeing a different feud for Summerslam 2021. It was originally reported that Edge vs. Seth Rollins is slated to happen at the August PPV and WWE has already started the build for this mega match, starting from last week.

Seth Rollins wasn’t happy with Edge receiving a title match opportunity at Money in the Bank 2021 since he thinks himself to be the next number-one contender for the Universal Title. This comes after he defeated Cesaro at Hell in a Cell in a singles contest and then again on Smackdown in a tag team match. Despite that, WWE Officials hesitated to give him the desired title match.

Statistics: Roman Reigns Only After Brock Lesnar In WWE Universal Title Reign

Going by the storyline, it appears that Seth Rollins will cost the title match to Edge at Money in the Bank 2021 that in turn will help Roman Reigns to retain. Afterward, Edge will seek vengeance against Rollins causing the dream match to happen at Summerslam 2021. Roman Reigns will still be having the Universal Title by his side who will proceed to face John Cena in another big match at the biggest party of the summer.

Edge demanded a title match at Money in the Bank 2021

Edge came back after a couple of month’s hiatus on Smackdown to begin brawling with Reigns. He was setting Roman up for a Con-Chair-To, but Jimmy Uso made the save. Edge then speared Jimmy through the ringside barricade to send a big message to the Head Of The Table. After Smackdown, Edge vs. Roman Reigns was officially announced for Money in the Bank 2021.

Following the announcement, Seth Rollins was irate about Edge receiving this title opportunity at Money in the Bank 2021. He cut a furious promo on the Hall of Famer that appears to be the initiation of their upcoming feud,

“I deserve the opportunity, not Edge. Where has he been? He hasn’t been here since WrestleMania, he hasn’t done anything.

He got his match at WrestleMania. I don’t care if it was a triple threat match. That’s not my fault! There’s got to be something that we can do.

I don’t care what Edge wants! I’m Seth Freakin’ Rollins! This place revolves around me. I’ve been here every day. I didn’t take 6 months off. I’ve been here every day, busting my as*. I deserve that shot. I deserve that Title match.”
