The Road to WrestleMania 37 was shaken up to a big extent on last week’s SmackDown when Daniel Bryan suddenly received a title opportunity. Now he put the announced WrestleMania 37 between Edge and Roman Reigns match in jeopardy to make things interesting. Builds around this match are going to be the main focus of tonight’s show which airs from the Tropicana Field in Tampa Bay, Florida.
Daniel Bryan was out to send a message to Roman Reigns and Jey Uso in the opening segment of last week’s SmackDown. After the unfair title match at Elimination Chamber, he felt of getting another title shot to make things right. In order to erase the ‘old’ Daniel Bryan, he had himself locked in with Jey Uso inside the Steel Cage structure.
The battle ended with Bryan forcing Uso to tap out to the YES Lock. Per the stipulation, the winner found himself in a championship match against Roman Reigns at Fastlane 2021. The Universal Champion was furious with the outcome of the match and he kept glaring at his challenger, after the match. It will be interesting to see how he reacts to this added title defense at the upcoming PPV.
Plus, both these competitors will be present in the same ring to sign a contract to make their match at Fastlane, official. The promo released for SmackDown also hints that Edge could be present at the show as his thunder is getting stolen by Reigns and Bryan.

Even the SmackDown Women’s Title picture has become quite interesting where the two WrestleMania opponents will team up at Fastlane 2021 to challenge the Women’s Tag Team Champions Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler. Belair already built some momentums for her team by beating Baszler, last week. Now it’s perhaps time for Banks to step up and do the same for her team. Banks and Beliar will also talk about their partnership when they appear on the KO Show.
Speaking of step-up, one of the SmackDown stars who is doing this lately is Cesaro. For the past few months, he is on a roll en route to a singles career. Now he has found himself in a feud against Seth Rollins after denying the leadership of the returnee. Last week, Cesaro pinned Rollins’ former disciple Murphy in the presence of his adversary to send a message. With bad blood gathering between the two, we expect these two are set for a single title match at Fastlane 2021.
