Paul Heyman, the Special Counsel to Roman Reigns, had a lot to say this past week on Talking Smack about the Edge vs. Jey Uso matchup that\’s scheduled for this week\’s SmackDown. The winner of this match will determine who will be the special enforcer at the Universal Championship match between Daniel Bryan and Reigns at Fastlane next Sunday. While he was ranting about the match, he also worked in AEW\’s Christian Cage leaving WWE for the rival promotion into the storyline. Christian had made a surprise comeback after seven years at the 2021 Royal Rumble match, and even had a reunion with Edge in the ring. it was then revealed a month later at Revolution that he was the surprise signee for a multi-year contract with AEW.
Paul Heyman blasted Edge for challenging Roman Reigns for his title at WrestleMania. He said that he expected a person like him with a surgically repaired neck to not piss off the \”Tribal Chief.\” Then he brought up Edge\’s friend and former tag partner Christian. Heyman said that Christian went to AEW so that he wouldn\’t have to face Reigns someday.
\”Edge, your best friend in this world knew he was going to become Roman Reigns\’ target just to get into your head and what did he do?\” Paul Heyman said regarding Christian. \”He ran away, before Roman Reigns could target him. How many, of your \’Christians\’ need to convert before you realize it\’s not smart to piss off Roman Reigns? You, Edge, have pissed off Roman Reigns. You wanna be the special enforcer? You wanna involve yourself in Roman Reigns\’ match against Daniel Bryan? Why? Because you know, it\’s an easier fight against Daniel Bryan than it is against Roman Reigns who is untouchable, who is unbeatable…\”
