5 WWE Superstars Edge could face if he returns

At SummerSlam 2019, Edge returned to the squared circle by delivering a thunderous Spear to Elias. The guitar-clad villain hurled a string of insults geared towards Toronto during the SummerSlam kickoff, which proved to be a big mistake, considering the fact that there were a bunch of Canadian greats backstage at the time.

Suddenly, the crowd roared in unison as Edge's music hit, and out came The Rated-R Superstar. Edge proceeded to hit Elias with his signature finishing move, The Spear, as the crowd cheered for the Hall of Famer.

Soon after, Edge talked about his return at SummerSlam and opened up on the possibility of him coming back to WWE to wrestle a match! Edge's neck injury deemed him unfit to compete back in 2011, leading to his retirement.

Let's take a look at five WWE Superstars Edge could face if he does manage to come back to wrestle one last time.

#5 The Fiend

Bray Wyatt made his WWE return on a recent episode of Monday Night Raw, where he attacked the crowd-favorite Finn Balor and made his eerie presence felt. On the Raw Reunion episode, The Fiend came out and attacked WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley, while he was reminiscing about his glorious past. Wyatt attacked Foley with a Mandible Claw and is now using the finisher as his own.

What if Edge comes back for the sole purpose of putting over The Fiend? Now that he has already put down Foley, a victory over someone of the stature of Edge would be incredibly beneficial for Wyatt's career, which has just been revived in the form of The Fiend.

Taking out legends has always benefitted a young gun, case in point: Randy Orton as "The Legend Killer".

#4 Elias

Now that the company has fed Elias to Edge at SummerSlam 2019, why not go all the way with the angle and turn this into a mini return feud for Edge?

Elias has done nothing noteworthy on the main roster in ages. His fans have become tired of the fact that Superstars from the past occasionally return and bury him in the process.

It happened at WrestleMania 35 with John Cena, with The Undertaker on Raw, and now with Edge at SummerSlam.

How about Elias comes back and takes a stand for once, and calls out Edge for his attack? This could be a good way to provide a boost to his waning career.

A win over a multiple-time World Champion and a Hall of Famer could be the exact thing Elias needs at this point in his WWE run.

#3 Randy Orton

How about a blast from the past?

Randy Orton and Edge have tons of history together. Back in 2006, the two Superstars paired up and formed Rated RKO. The short-lived tandem feuded with D-generation X, and lost a traditional Survivor Series 5-on-5 match to them. Years later, Edge and Orton got into a mini feud that ended with a Double Countout at Over The Limit 2010.

A reference could be made to this feud from the past, as Edge lambasts Orton for still being the cold-hearted, selfish villain he once was, while Edge made his peace with everyone that he wronged and turned into a good guy.

These two were the top villains of WWE at one point in time. A one-off match between Orton and Edge could settle the score once and for all, as to who's the best among the two.

#2 AJ Styles

AJ Styles spent the majority of his pro-wrestling career in Impact Wrestling, resulting in the WWE Universe never getting a bunch of dream matches. Edge retired from WWE in 2011, and Styles made his debut in 2016. Edge vs AJ Styles could have been a match for the ages, but the stars simply didn't align for the same.

Now that Edge has talked about a potential return for a one-off match, and Styles is one of the biggest heels on the roster, a match between these two seems promising. It could be used to elevate Styles as a top villain, giving him major heel heat after he destroys Edge in what should be an interesting matchup.

#1 Seth Rollins

Back in 2014, Seth Rollins was the top heel on Raw, months after he had betrayed his Shield brethren. Rollins made the ultimate heel move on an episode of Monday Night Raw, when he forced John Cena to reinstate The Authority, and threatened to hit a Curb Stomp on Edge if Cena didn't agree. A helpless Cena agreed to Rollins' condition, who attempted to hurt Edge anyway. Cena prevented that from happening but ended up paying for the same.

If Edge does come back somewhere down the line, how about a one-off match between him and a heel Rollins?

Rollins is a babyface at the moment, but it's becoming clear with each passing day that the WWE Universe misses the dastardly heel of 2014-15. His recent promo on Raw, after Brock Lesnar destroyed him, was met with chants of 'What?'.

Hopefully, reactions like these will result in a heel turn for Rollins, upon which he could cement himself again as a major heel by taking down a returning Edge.
