News Notes About WrestleMania's Potential Main Event

There have been two news items I came across this weekend that might be worth knowing about ahead of tonight's WWE FastLane 2021 PPV.

Firstly, on this morning's edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer mentioned that he asked a source very recently whether the WrestleMania 37 match of Roman Reigns versus Edge was still on for the event.

Meltzer was informed that the singles match is still on the cards, so that would - or rather could - contradict the idea myself, and others, are concluding from watching the Smackdown storyline in that the Mania match could be a triple threat with Daniel Bryan added to the mix.

I have written about the triple threat extensively recently due to Sky Bet having markets available which allow customers to gamble on the match taking place on WrestleMania weekend and also to be the headline bout of night two.

The second news item, which might relate to the triple threat theory, is - on yesterday's edition of WWE Talking Smack - Paul Heyman gave out one of his 'spoilers' by claiming that the main event as we know it (ie Reigns .vs. Edge) will not take place.

Heyman went on to say that the match will not take place because WWE will be in need of a new challenger because Edge will pull out from contention after being there at ringside to witness Daniel Bryan's beating at the hands of Roman Reigns.

The spoiler thing makes me hold on to the hope that the main event - as we're supposed to know it right now - will change to the match many of us are speculating: Roman Reigns .vs. Edge .vs. Daniel Bryan.

Sky Bet's market is currently unavailable. I last wrote about it a couple of days ago. Below is a table showing how the betting had gone up to Friday.
