Edge is moving back to Monday nights.

During the 2021 WWE Draft, it was revealed that the Rated R Superstar had been drafted from Friday Night SmackDown on FOX to Monday Night RAW on the USA Network.

The WWE Hall of Famer had primarily competed on the red brand after he returned in 2020. However, after winning the men's Royal Rumble match in January, he switched to the blue brand to pursue the WWE Universal Championship.

Edge is scheduled to face Seth Rollins inside Hell in a Cell at WWE Crown Jewel this week in what will be his final match as a member of the SmackDown roster.

The move to Monday Night RAW opens the possibility of several matches against opponents that the Ultimate Opportunist has never faced off against before.

Let's take a closer look at five Superstars from WWE RAW that Edge has never faced before in WWE.


#5 Current WWE RAW Superstar Gable Steveson

WWE announced the signing of US Olympic Gold Medallist wrestler Gable Steveson in September.

It was revealed that Steveson would begin professional wrestling training immediately. However, he was scheduled to complete his final year at the University of Minnesota and compete in the NCAA Championships.

So it was quite a shock when it was announced on Night 2 of the 2021 WWE Draft that the Olympic Gold Medallist had been drafted to Monday Night RAW.

This has led to speculation that Steveson could be making his in-ring WWE debut sooner rather than later. Obviously still very "green" and early into his professional wrestling career, Gable Steveson's first opponents will be required to guide him through various matches and moments.

You'll struggle to find a more experienced WWE Superstar than the 11-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion Edge. A feud with Gable Steveson would be right in the Hall of Famer's wheelhouse to set up the future of the industry before he ultimately decides to call it a day on his remarkable career.

#4 Current WWE RAW Tag Team Champion Riddle

WWE RAW Tag Team Champion Riddle has quickly established himself as one of the most popular Superstars on Monday Night RAW.

The Original Bro has formed a highly entertaining tag team with Randy Orton, known as RK-Bro. The duo are set to defend their titles against AJ Styles and Omos at Crown Jewel later this week.

However, one man that has a significant amount of history with The Viper is Edge. The Rated R Superstar was a former tag team partner with Orton, competing as Rated R-K-O.

Their story continued when Edge returned in 2020. After making his miraculous return to the ring, the WWE Hall of Famer was viciously attacked by Orton, beginning a rivalry that would span the entirety of 2020 and finish in January 2021.

More than aware of the dangers of having Orton as a partner, perhaps Edge could try and warn Riddle of The Viper's true character. This may lead to a series of matches between the Ultimate Opportunist and The Original Bro.


#3 Current WWE United States Champion Damian Priest

Damian Priest has made quite the impression since debuting on Monday Night RAW in January this year.

The Archer of Infamy famously teamed up with rapper Bad Bunny at WrestleMania 37 to defeat The Miz and John Morrison in a critically acclaimed tag team match.

He has since gone on to capture the WWE United States Championship after he defeated Sheamus at SummerSlam.

Priest also holds impressive victories over the likes of former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre on Monday Night RAW.

Seemingly ready to take the next step up into the main event scene, a legendary opponent such as Edge would be the perfect bridge to elevate the United States Champion to the next level in WWE.

Priest and the WWE Hall of Famer have never faced off before, but the match would no doubt get many of the WWE Universe very excited.

#2 Former WWE NXT Champion Bearcat Lee

Current WWE RAW Superstar Bearcat Lee has experienced an up-and-down 2021 so far.

After competing for the WWE Championship earlier this year, the former NXT Champion spent several months on the sidelines due to a heart inflammation.

Since returning in July, Lee has primarily competed in dark matches and recently underwent a name change to "Bearcat Lee." It has been speculated that the name change is a homage to legendary wrestler Bearcat Wright.

Seemingly set for a renewed push on Monday nights, perhaps Bearcat Lee's first opponent on RAW could be none other than the Rated R Superstar.

Edge and Lee have never met in one-on-one competition. The match could be considered somewhat of a dream to many in the WWE Universe.


#1 Current WWE Champion Big E

Current WWE Champion Big is experiencing the push of his career right now.

After winning the Money in the Bank ladder match in July, Big E cashed in on Bobby Lashley in September on Monday Night RAW to capture the WWE Championship for the first time in his career.

The New Day member is currently scheduled to defend his title against former champion Drew McIntyre at Crown Jewel later this week. However, many speculate that the champion will retain his gold.

This leaves the question as to who will challenge Big E next for the WWE Championship on Monday Night RAW. An 11-time world champion in his own right, Edge could be the perfect challenger for Big E's title.

The Rated R Superstar has made no secret of his desire to win another WWE World Heavyweight title before he retires. After coming so close at WrestleMania and Money in the Bank this year, perhaps Edge will decide to challenge Big E for his gold on Monday nights.
