It seems the appearance of WWE Hall of Famer Edge was a major factor in WWE’s sudden changes for WrestleMania 37 main event plans. As seen on SmackDown, Daniel Bryan was added to the already announced match between Edge and Universal Champion Roman Reigns to make it a Triple Threat. There’s been an age factor heading into the match.
As hinted by multiple sources, WWE reportedly has plans to add Daniel Bryan to the WrestleMania 37 match. This was the sole reason why Edge turned heel at WWE l FastLane 2021 main event unwillingly helping Reigns to retain the title over Bryan. During the next episode of SmackDown on FOX, the anticipated Triple Threat was made official by an announcement via WWE Official Adam Pearce.
In an update, it was noted by one source close to the situation that the main issue was with Edge’s age. The number isn’t an issue as Legends do perform in way more age than 47 but the look of his age, instead. It was a concerning point that led to WWE Chairman & CEO Vince McMahon pulling the trigger and make the change to the WrestleMania 37 main event.

Edge’s face looked older heading into Wrestlemania 37
According to the Wrestling Observer, Edge’s facial experience became older in recent times which could’ve played a factor in Vince McMahon changing his mind. The source noted that the 47-year-old superstar “was looking older each week” on WWE TV since returning in January.
“One person close to the situation said that the age issue, not as much the number as the look of age (he was looking older each week) with Edge was a concerning point.”

Despite the mentioned issue of Edge’s older look, it was stated that this match was being changed because Vince McMahon just wanted to shake things up. The Boss reportedly wanted a number of changes for the WrestleMania 37 plans, including the main event match between Edge vs. Reigns.
Several suggestions were made by numerous people by the officials, but most of those were said to be bad ideas. The only idea that got the green signal by everyone was Bryan being added to the match as a babyface while both the other participants will act as heels in the match. This Universal Title match is scheduled for Night Two of WrestleMania 37 which is the overall headliner for the two-night spectacle.
