#2. WWE Hall of Famer Edge showed he's still a force to be reckoned with in 2021

In his late 40s, WWE Hall of Famer Edge showed why he's still a force to be reckoned with in 2021.
The Rated R Superstar started the year on a positive note by winning the Men's Royal Rumble. He then locked horns with Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 37 for the Universal title. Edge, despite putting in a valiant effort, came up short but did not surrender. He again challenged the champion at Money in the Bank 2021 but lost due to interference from Seth Rollins.
This put the biggest rivalry of 2021 into motion as Edge and Seth Rollins locked horns in a battle trilogy. The Rated R Superstar prevailed in the first contest, with The Visionary coming back in the second. The final match was decided at Crown Jewel 2021 as Edge used all his experience to overcome Rollins.
With this win, Edge demonstrated why he's still among the very best. He will now face The Miz at WWE Day 1.
#1. WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns has been at his very best throughout 2021
No WWE Superstar has been as dominant as Roman Reigns in 2021.
The reigning Universal Champion put countless opponents to rest since his return at SummerSlam 2020. Bray Wyatt, Braun Strowman, Edge, Daniel Bryan, John Cena, Rey Mysterio, Brock Lesnar, and Big E have been conquered by The Tribal Chief.
His Universal Title reign stands at 487 days and counting. What's been even more impressive than his in-ring domination is his heel persona. Roman played the Head of the Table character with ease throughout 2021, which has been well received by fans.
As 2022 beckons, The Tribal Chief will lock horns with Brock Lesnar at WWE Day 1 for the Universal title. Let's see if Roman can conquer Lesnar again to kickstart 2022.
