4 wrestling rumors we hope are true and 4 we hope aren't: WWE legend to return to face Roman Reigns, Blockbuster SummerSlam match now canceled?

#1. Hope is true: WWE's plans for Edge at SummerSlam 2021

Edge has been away from WWE since WrestleMania 37, where he lost in the main event to Roman Reigns in a match that also involved Daniel Bryan. His return date is no surprise. Perhaps to draw audiences and boost ratings, Edge and Sasha Banks have been announced for a return to SmackDown in Houston, where WWE will officially resume live touring.

There isn't any news about who he will rival with, but the assumption is that he will be returning for a SummerSlam program. Interestingly, he is set to revert to being a babyface.

As per Jon Alba (via LTG Podcast Patreon), Edge is set to return to WWE for a SummerSlam program, and he could be a babyface on SmackDown again.

Reported on @theLTGpodcast Patreon this week Edge is currently penciled in for the SummerSlam card as a babyface on the Smackdown side. Seems to give credence to that. https://t.co/mg38CPSn3v

We hope this is true because the heel turn that happened wasn't necessary, and only seemed to happen because of Daniel Bryan's involvement. It will be interesting to see what WWE has planned for The Rated-R Superstar on SmackDown.
