Backstage update on why Edge's WWE RAW promo was kept vague - Reports
WWE Hall of Famer Edge's promo on RAW saw him announcing an open challenge to anyone who thought they could face him. The promo left a big question mark about his WrestleMania opponent, with no one being named within the segment.
It seems that the vagueness of the Rated-R superstar's opponent was done intentionally with him talking about wanting to make his Mania match "Phenomenal."
WrestleVotes has reported that the WWE creative has left a lot of space for flexibility in every storyline coming up for the Grandest Stage of Them All.
This could mean that the plans for the WrestleMania 38 card may be subject to potential change. WrestleVotes took to their Twitter account to report:
“We are roughly 5 weeks out & I’m told the WM card is still very fluid. Hence the reason for the vague Edge promo, the 2 week delay on the tag title match & the MSG title defense for Brock. Creative is leaving a ton of space in nearly every storyline to allow major flexibility.”
