Edge says he has some “pretty extra stupid ideas” in mind for his Hell in a Cell Match with Finn Balor at WWE WrestleMania 39.
Speaking with Sportsnet 590 The Fan, Edge was asked about the process of planning for a Hell in a Cell match and putting it together. He noted that he has a history of doing “stupid things”, and with Hell in a Cell matches, people expect a certain level of brutality. With that in mind, the WWE legend stated that he feels the need to up the stakes and think outside of the box, though he tries to save his crazy ideas for special shows like WrestleMania.
“I have a history of doing stupid things, right [laughs], so you do because it’s a Hell in a Cell match and because people expect a certain level of brutality within the performance,” Edge said. “You gotta up the stakes. So I do. I think outside of the box, and I think about what’s physically possible. A lot of crazy ideas jump into my head, and they always have.
“But I always try and make sure that I save them for WrestleMania, or I save them where it will actually mean something and be remembered. I’m not diving face-first into a flaming table with thumbtacks in my back unless it’s WrestleMania because I know that will be one that people are gonna remember. If you just do it on RAW one week, then it’s gone and it’s not gonna be remembered because there’s 51 other RAWs during the year.
Edge continued by noting that WrestleMania is the one time a year when he knows that the world will be watching, so he knows he has to “go for it.” He stated that he has some extra “stupid” ideas for the Hell in a Cell Match, but he doesn’t know if he’ll get to do them.
“WrestleMania happens once a year,” Edge said. “If you’re a casual fan, you may watching. If you’re a wrestling fan, you’re definitely watching, and that’s the one that I know has the worldwide eyeballs on it. So that’s where you gotta go for it, and man, you put me in a Hell in a Cell, I gotta go for it, even if I’m 49 years old. That’s just part of the way I’m wired. So I have some pretty extra stupid ideas. We’ll see if they let me try them. They probably won’t. But we’ll see.”
WrestleZone will have coverage of WWE WrestleMania 39 as it airs on April 1 and 2.
