Roman Reigns is the most dominant Superstar on WWE SmackDown, but that might change soon. Before Edge was forced to seek retirement from the in-ring action, his name was synonymous with SmackDown. The Rated-R Superstar had a dominating performance on the Blue brand. An extended feud with Roman Reigns will script Edge’s much-awaited return to WWE SmackDown in the coming weeks.

This time, it won’t be limited to mere promos and exchanges with other names on SmackDown. Instead, he will go toe-to-toe with Roman Reigns right where the latter has cultivated a reputation as a bully. Other SmackDown Superstars have tried to challenge The Tribal Chief’s position, but their aspirations often met with a disappointing fate.

Edge can change that narration in the storyline. Even if he spends a short time on WWE SmackDown, he will play a crucial role in balancing the power between the good and bad side of the roster. Roman Reigns hates to see his authority being challenged, and it will push him to orchestrate a more intense attack on his opponent.
