In what seems like a long time ago, when the world was normal and crowds were still in the stands, Edge made a triumphant return to WWE, in what has to be considered one of the best returns in the entire history of the company. Edge would go on to enter a feud with Randy Orton, beginning with a hard-fought win at WrestleMania and then coming up short at Backlash.
So, how does Edge come back and enter into a WWE Championship feud or the WWE Universal Championship picture, you ask? Here are a few possibilities that could happen, and in fact, one of them is pretty likely to happen in the future.
Be sure to chime in with your comments, and let us know which of these scenarios you'd like to see.
#5 Edge wins the Royal Rumble and goes after Randy Orton
Edge's current run began at the Royal Rumble this year and his next one could begin at the 2021 Royal Rumble, where he goes on to win the whole thing and challenge the WWE Champion, Randy Orton, at WrestleMania for the biggest prize on the RAW brand. The third edition of their feud could play out at WrestleMania, with Edge putting Randy Orton over and cementing his legacy as the greatest ever to lace up a pair of boots. This could be a precursor to Randy Orton breaking Ric Flair's record.
Or maybe Edge does win the whole thing at WrestleMania and go on to mix it up with the world of talent waiting in the wings, hoping for a shot at the Ultimate Opportunist. And for Edge to stand tall after the Royal Rumble would not make too many fans upset, because of the feel-good nature of the victory.
#4 Edge costs Randy Orton his match against Roman Reigns
If you look at the Tweet that's been linked above, you'll see that Randy Orton is feuding with not one, not two, but three WWE Superstars at the moment, and Edge could very well join the fray.
When Roman Reigns from SmackDown takes on Randy Orton from RAW at Survivor Series in a battle for brand supremacy, it is not outside the realm of possibility that when Randy Orton is coiled up and ready to strike the RKO, Edge's music could hit, causing the distraction and allowing Roman Reigns to defeat Randy Orton with a spear.
It also solves the issue of not making Randy Orton look weak so soon after winning the WWE Championship and also keeping Roman Reigns' momentum as strong as it's been.
Edge vs. Randy Orton could pick up right from where it left off following Survivor Series, and even if Edge is not at 100% yet, he could make sporadic appearances until he is ready to re-enter the ring again.
#3 Edge wins the Money in the Bank contract from The Miz
Chris Jericho may have invented the Money in the Bank concept, but it was Edge who won the very first edition.
While this is an extremely weird scenario, did we ever think when WWE was going gung-ho with Otis and giving him a major singles push, that he would be stripped of the Money in the Bank contract and would then lose to The Miz?
The Miz may just be a transitional Money in the Bank contract winner, who could hold it until Edge comes back and wins it from him.
Even though The Miz holds a lot more 'legitimacy' so to speak, as compared to someone like Otis with regard to being the face of the company, someone like Edge really belongs in the title picture a lot more, at this point in time.
You can tell just how much the company believes in The Miz from the fact that he was squashed by Drew McIntyre the very night after he became Mr. Money in the Bank.
#2 The Fiend becomes the WWE Champion and then goes after Edge
Now that The Fiend has made his intentions about the WWE Championship known, one has to assume that it's only a matter of time before he becomes the top-dog on the RAW brand. And once he does, he could go after Edge, because this is a contest that has a world of potential. You have the ultimate babyface in Edge going up against a demonic and supernatural presence in The Fiend, for the top prize on the RAW brand.
What makes this feud extra intriguing is the fact that Beth Phoenix and Alexa Bliss could also have another feud on the side, that is just as intriguing and could take both women to extremely dark places.
We had The Fiend succumb to Goldberg and the damage was immense, but if Edge puts this promising young star over, it could do wonders for his career. Plus, Edge is an actor by trade and The Fiend works best with characters that can sell horror, terror, and dismay.
#1 Edge enters the WWE Universal Championship contest by teasing a spear vs. spear match
As wonderful as the feud between Roman Reigns and Jey Uso has been, the current Universal Champion really needs an opponent like Edge to make his feud feel special. At no point did any of us believe that Jey Uso had the remotest chance at winning the new WWE Universal Championship from Roman Reigns, but Edge is a different story.
Edge vs. Roman Reigns is a big-ticket match and as good as SmackDown has been, the Universal Championship could become a lot more prestigious if these two men slug it out at the top of the Blue Brand.
It could be an important stepping stone to Roman Reigns vs. The Rock or Roman Reigns vs. Big E, or whatever the plan is at WrestleMania. It's very unlikely that Edge will become the face of SmackDown at his age, but it'll still make things interesting to see him mix it up with The Big Dog.
Is Edge vs. Roman Reigns a match you want to see?
