Edge should remain Universal Champion till SummerSlam 2022 so that he could have a fairly decent final World Championship reign. Several WWE Superstars could receive a boost by defeating a veteran like Edge, but the honor of dethroning him should go to a fellow Canadian.

Kevin Owens is one of the most talented wrestlers on the main roster. However, he has consistently played second-fiddle to Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, and Randy Orton. He needs to become Universal Champion to redeem himself. With similar backgrounds and their interesting run-ins backstage, Owens is the logical choice to dethrone Edge.

The contest between the two Canadians would be spectacular. It would be a technical, high-risk encounter between two devoted wrestlers. In the end, Owens should win the Universal Championship, bagging the most significant victory of his career.

The former NXT Champion was the second-ever Universal Champion. He had an incredible reign, defeating top stars like Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns. Chris Jericho's involvement enhanced the quality of his reign. Unfortunately, Owens lost the Universal title in the most anti-climactic way possible as Goldberg squashed him in 22 seconds.

Since that match at Fastlane 2017, Owens has challenged unsuccessfully for the championship multiple times. However, The Prizefighter could redeem himself by beating Edge to become the Universal Champion once again.
