WWE Champion Bobby Lashley is another candidate who could face Edge at SummerSlam.

There is talk that WWE wants to make this year's SummerSlam a WrestleMania type of night. One way they can do so is by having Lashley defend the WWE Championship against Edge. Edge could fit in as an opponent for Lashley if Brock Lesnar is unable to face Lashley.

Lashley and Edge have never crossed paths in the ring. The closest Edge may have encountered Lashley dates back to ECW in 2007, where Lashley was facing Randy Orton, in which Edge was accompanying Randy.

With Edge being back, it would be great for him to face wrestlers he has never competed against in the ring. A match between Lashley and Edge at SummerSlam could be a great contest, in which the WWE Universe can witness a battle of Spears.

It would also be the first time Edge has challenged for the WWE Championship since 2010. If Edge were to face Lashley and defeat him at SummerSlam, Edge would be a 12-time world champion.
