Nine years is a long time for anyone to be away from the ring. To say that Edge's return was 'HUGE' is an understatement. The man received a rousing ovation when he returned at the Royal Rumble and the emotional weight of his comeback was very apparent on Adam Copeland's face.
He was told that he would never compete inside a WWE ring again, but the Wrestling Gods had other plans. It's quite fitting that Edge is currently a supporting character on Vikings as Odin himself would have never have predicted a return that this would be well received.
Edge returned to Monday Night RAW and cut on what looked like an unscripted promo as it seemed to be straight from the heart as he said he wasn't unsure whether this return would last long. His old partner-in-crime, Randy Orton appeared and then viciously attacked him setting up a match between the two at WrestleMania 36.
While that match is most likely going to happen, it'll be interesting to see who else Edge will face in the future. There are some on the WWE Roster that he has never actually faced and there are exciting possibilities in store for the WWE Universe.
Here are 5 WWE Superstars Edge has never faced but before heading into that part, check out how Paige plans to book the female talents on the road to WrestleMania 36!
#5 Bobby Lashley
Believe it or not, Bobby Lashley never faced Edge in a WWE ring. Bobby Lashley was the ECW World Champion in his first WWE run, but he was primarily regulated to the ECW show. While he had a very public feud with Umaga in the Battle of the Billionaires match and took on guys like John Cena, Randy Orton and Mick Foley, the two took each other on one-on-one.
While Bobby Lashley is probably set to take on Rusev at WrestleMania 36, there is nothing saying that the two would not be able to square off in the future in something like SummerSlam. In the world of professional wrestling, the only sure thing is that nothing is for sure.
#4 AJ Styles
While AJ Styles picked up an injury at the Royal Rumble in 2020, there is nothing saying that a match between him and Edge could never happen in the future. The Face that Runs the Place vs. The Ultimate Opportunist would certainly make for an interesting pairing.
AJ Styles has proven in the past that he can work with everyone and he has certainly worked with the best that the WWE Roster has to offer including, John Cena, Roman Reigns, Shinsuke Nakamura, Kofi Kingston, Daniel Bryan and so many others. The list is endless as Styles proved why he became WWE Champion in the first place.
To be clear, it's not that the two haven't met in the past. It's just that it was not in an official wrestling capacity as their interactions were regulated to promos and interviews. Considering that Styles is high;y experienced, Edge would be in very safe hands.
While the probability of this pairing happening in 2020 is unclear at this point, wrestling fans would hope that it happens sooner rather than later.
#3 Roman Reigns
While Edge may have returned on Monday Night RAW, there is nothing saying that he couldn't face Roman Reigns in the future. Like The Undertaker, Edge is technically a 'free agent' who could move to whatever brand he feels like.
One of the defining aspects of Roman Reigns is his heavy reliance on The Spear. The move has been utilized by several wrestlers, including Batista, Goldberg, and Edge himself. Thinking about it now, both men actually use that move as their main finisher.
Wouldn't it be interesting to see who is the true King of The Spear? Yes, there is the invisible line of WWE SmackDown and Raw being seperate brands, but such a match doesn't need to happen in 2020.
Imagine if Roman Reigns took on The Fiend at WrestleMania 36 and wins the WWE Universal Championship. Wouldn't it make for an awesome SummerSlam PPV to see the two square off and have Edge have one last shot at the title? At this point, it's nothing more than fantasy booking but wrestling fans can dream.
#2 Kevin Owens
While it would be tempting to include Seth Rollins on this list for obvious reasons, the man that could be a great potential match for Edge would be Kevin Owens. Owens posted a very emotional tweet yesterday that showed his love for the Rated-R Superstar.
While he may be involved in a feud with the Monday Night Messiah, there is still a lot of time left in 2020 and given his legitimate 'fanboy' love for Edge, a match between the two would make for exciting possibilities.
Edge is a veteran at this point in his career and while Kevin Owens has never had the best of times working with veterans...cough...Goldberg...cough, a story between the two would make for great television. Much like Owens' feud with Chris Jericho, this could be an exciting storyline of master and student facing off against each other.
Could it happen down the line? If Edge has no one else to take on and Owens could benefit from getting the rub from him, there is no reason why it couldn't happen.
#1 Goldberg
When Goldberg first came to WWE back in 2003, he never actually took on The Master Manipulator as he was involved in feuds with Triple H and his Evolution stable as well as Brock Lesnar. It's not the match that everyone would have on their mind, but there is a basis for the match.
Both men are from the Attitude Era who are still wrestling today. Goldberg was heavily reliant on The Spear as was Edge for the longest of time. While both men got their starts around the same time, the two never actually met. Of course, Edge had retired by the time Goldberg came back to WWE.
In a bit of a twist, while Goldberg never took Edge on, Christian wasn't that lucky as the two squared off on Monday Night RAW back in 2003 in a steel cage. Of course, the idea of Edge getting revenge for his friend is absurd at this point, but it can certainly play a part in a potential match with Da Man.
Isn't there anyone else that Edge has never faced? Comment below.
