“It’s an Embarrassment of Riches”- Edge Discusses His WrestleMania Opponents in Roman Reigns and Finn Bálor
Edge scored a huge win at the Royal Rumble by emerging victorious from the #1 spot. The fairytale story for the Superstar continues as he heads own the one-way ticket to WrestleMania.
With so many options open for him, Edge is spoilt for choice when it comes to a WrestleMania opponent. There’s Drew McIntyre with the WWE Championship, Roman Reigns with the Universal Championship, and Finn Bálor with the NXT Championship.

In a recent interview with CBS Sports, ‘The Rated-R Superstar’ analyzed all three options and listed the benefits of having each one of them. He particularly found the Drew McIntyre feud sensible and energetic but was also drawn towards Roman and Bálor.
“Equally compelling is a guy like Roman Reigns, who I feel has been unleashed and been allowed to get the guy out that I always knew was in there,” said Edge. “It’s really exciting to see a performer clicking on so many levels and telling amazing stories. I look at that and I think, ‘Whoa, man, that would be fun.’”
“It’s an entirely different dynamic than Drew, and it would be an entirely different story,” explained the WWE Legend. “Maybe it’s not based on respect — it’s Rocky and Apollo Creed. Then I see a guy like Balor who has never been better, and that’s exciting too. It’s an embarrassment of riches, is what it is.”

There is also an off chance that ‘The Rated-R Superstar’ is merely exploring his options before finally naming a choice. He interrupted Drew McIntyre on Raw this week, and his appearance on NXT could b the next step of the way.
Considering that SmackDown is at the end of the week, we may see Edge choose an opponent in Roman Reigns, whose feud with Kevin Owens will probably not last till WrestleMania.
