The following day on Talking Smack, WWE aired a video showing Edge approaching WWE authority figures Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville where he demanded a match with Reigns at this event and he got it.
This marked Edge’s first appearance on WWE television since WrestleMania 37 this April where Reigns retained the Universal Championship by defeating Edge and Daniel Bryan in a triple threat match.
