Edge still believes Brock Lesnar was the wrong man to end The Undertaker‘s streak, but he didn’t want the ‘honor’ either.
The Rated R Superstar was a recent guest on IMPAULSIVE to discuss a wide variety of subjects. When asked about refusing to end The Undertaker’s streak at WrestleMania, Edge spoke about why he believes it didn’t need it.
“The main event of WrestleMania 24, and I think his streak at that point was like 15-0,” Edge recalled. “It was kind of thrown by me like, ‘What do you think?’ And I was like, ‘Absolutely not. Why would we do that? That makes zero sense to me. I’m already a made man. I’m in the main event of WrestleMania. What’s it going to do for me?’
“Sure, it would do something, I guess? But like, let’s save that. Let’s save that for somebody who can really use that boost. And to me, as the years started to go and go and go, I was like, ‘Reigns is that guy. Let’s save it for that.’ But it wasn’t my call, obviously.
“But when it was brought to my attention or at least thrown by me as an option, I just thought no. Because it was just as important as the world championships at WrestleMania, so why take away one of our marquee attractions? Again, I was already made. If I’m in the main event at WrestleMania, I don’t need the streak. I don’t need to break that.”
When asked if he thought it was a mistake for Brock Lesnar to end the streak at WrestleMania 30, Edge said he believes it was.
“Yes. The only reason I say that is because I don’t think Brock needed it,” Edge said. “He was already a world beater. He was already UFC Heavyweight Champion. He was already all of these things, whereas Roman was just on the cusp, and if he were the first guy, oh man. I mean, obviously, it still worked out pretty well. But I think it could have sped it up.”
