Edge recently returned at the Royal Rumble event, where he went on to win the Men's Royal Rumble match. This impressive performance surprised many fans, as the veteran star was the first entrant in the bout.
As a result, "The Rated-R Superstar" will pursue a world title of his choosing on the Road to WrestleMania 37. While that path may be his immediate future in WWE, Edge has expressed interest in facing various stars from the current roster.
The WWE Hall of Famer could get involved in some high-profile feuds, especially after WrestleMania is over.
This list will take a look at several potential new feuds for Edge in WWE. As a general rule, stars like Drew McIntyre and Roman Reigns won't be included because Edge could face them at WrestleMania. Please share your picks for some new rivalries for Edge in the comments section below.
With that being said, here's a look at five new rivalries that Edge could establish in his current WWE run.
#5 Edge vs. AJ Styles could be a dream match for the ages
A few years ago, nobody would have thought that Edge and AJ Styles could possibly wrestle each other in the same WWE ring.
That changed at Royal Rumble 2020. Edge's return led to a moment between the WWE Hall of Famer and AJ Styles. "The Ultimate Opportunist" even delivered a Spear to "The Phenomenal One" during last year's Men's Royal Rumble Match.
These two stars haven't faced each other in a singles match yet. But Edge vs. AJ Styles could happen now that Edge is back on WWE programming.
After all, Styles previously stated that he wanted to face either Edge or Triple H at WrestleMania. Styles could possibly win the WWE Championship at the Elimination Chamber event to make that wish come true. Even if that possibility doesn't happen, there is still a huge opportunity to build up to a future match between the two legends.
Styles is known to be one of the greatest in-ring talents of all time, and he was part of The Undertaker's final match in WWE. Given that Edge is an icon at this stage of his career, a rivalry against "The Phenomenal" One might be on his bucket list before he retires.
#4 Mustafa Ali and RETRIBUTION could benefit a lot from a feud with Edge
Mustafa Ali facing Edge might sound like an unusual feud at first. But it could turn out to be a major milestone for Ali and his faction, RETRIBUTION.
RETRIBUTION is currently several tiers below Edge's position on the WWE landscape. The anti-WWE faction has mishandled at every turn. Although Ali is trying his best to make the gimmick work, RETRIBUTION has never been included in a main event storyline since the group's inception.
Meanwhile, Edge has been the talk of the town since he returned to action. It may seem like there is no reason for "The Rated-R Superstar" to call out Ali, but RETRIBUTION has plenty of reasons to target the WWE legend.
It has been established that Ali and his faction members disagree with the excessive spotlight that is given to popular names from the past.
Edge recently revealed in an interview that Ali ranks among several other current stars that he would love to face in WWE. A feud between Edge and Ali would showcase RETRIBUTION in a major way.
It could also give Ali and RETRIBUTION enough momentum to break out as a legitimate stable in WWE.
#3 Edge's potential rivalry with Daniel Bryan could lead to an Iron Man match between the two stars
Edge and Daniel Bryan have faced each other in a singles match before. But there was never a reason to believe that they were fierce rivals at any point during their careers.
Plus, the only time they faced each other in one-on-one action ended in a disqualification. That encounter took place in 2010, and things have changed considerably since then.
Daniel Bryan became one of the top faces of WWE a few years after their match. As the leader of the "YES Movement", he has evolved to a level where he currently puts over underutilized talents on WWE SmackDown. As a matter of fact, Bryan and Edge are both members of WWE's creative team at the moment.
Given their status in terms of creative power, it is a no-brainer that the two stars could likely feud with each other at some point during Edge's current WWE run.
"The Ultimate Opportunist " has expressed his wish to face Bryan in an Iron Man Match, and that dream might come true if they get involved in a rivalry.
Like AJ Styles, Bryan is also one of the best in-ring talents in WWE today. A program between Bryan and Edge would certainly attract the attention of both casual and hardcore fans.
#2 Bray Wyatt and Edge's potential feud could be a masterclass in terms of the storytelling
Edge's ability to add a lot of depth to his storylines has made him one of the most popular WWE Superstars of all time.
The same statement applies to Bray Wyatt. Since the introduction of The Fiend, Wyatt has participated in dynamic storylines on a regular basis.
If the creative minds of Edge and Bray Wyatt could collaborate on the same story, WWE fans may get to witness one of the most intriguing rivalries in the modern era of wrestling.
Alexa Bliss has become Bray Wyatt's closest ally on Monday Night RAW. Beth Phoenix could compete alongside her husband, Edge, in a mixed tag team match against the bizarre duo. The same idea was reportedly discussed for WrestleMania at one point, per WrestleVotes.
While Edge could face various stars who excel in terms of their in-ring game, few competitors could top Bray Wyatt's ability to tell engaging stories.
As a unique option, "The Rated-R Superstar" must see the potential in a rivalry against Bray Wyatt before he retires once and for all.
#1 Damian Priest's backstage moment with Edge might eventually lead to a rivalry
In an SK Wrestling Exclusive, Damian Priest described how Edge went out of his way to give him a memorable moment during the episode of RAW after Royal Rumble 2021.
Priest received a pat on the back and a handshake from the WWE legend in a backstage segment. Many fans on social media pointed out the similarities between Priest and Edge's moment with John Cena and The Undertaker's infamous segment from the past.
Cena and "The Deadman" went on to wrestle each other at WrestleMania several years after the former became one of the most mainstream WWE Superstars of all time. It's currently impossible to predict how long Edge's current run will last in WWE. So he might be quite eager to help the company build new stars.
Somewhere down the road, Priest could face the same legend who put him over in front of a mainstream audience on RAW. This bout could cement Priest's status as a WWE Superstar for years to come.
Their first interraction could be the perfect motive for a long-term feud between the two stars. A rivalry with Priest may end up being Edge's way of giving back to the industry on his last run.
