Edge, Daniel Bryan, and Roman Reigns battled in the main event of WrestleMania 37 – Night 2 for the Universal Title with “The Big Dog” coming out on top to retain his title.
The match was highly praised among fans. Fightful Select reports Reigns’ advocate, Paul Heyman, was instrumental in orchestrating the match layout, which is like he has done in the past while working with Brock Lesnar.
The report stated unlike the other matches featured on the card, the finish had been decided relatively early. As noted, there were several matches on the card that had their finishes changed over the weekend such as The Fiend vs. Randy Orton.
Also, Edge and Bryan had creative input and came up with several ideas for the match. It was stated the entire finished product is considered a collaborative effort. The clever spot where Bryan had the yes lock while Edge had the crossface on Reigns at the same time was something that Bryan had pitched.
Regarding the decision to put Bryan in the match, the idea was only solidified the week of Fastlane.
Finally, it was stated that the match was received well backstage as Reigns received a great deal of praise for his performance.
