Dream opponents for Edge if he is cleared for an in-ring return

The Rated R Superstar was recently cleared for minimal physical contact by the WWE medical staff and he stated on the E&C podcast after SummerSlam that he feels he could wrestle again. During this year's edition of WWE SummerSlam, Elias was performing his concert only to be interrupted by a WWE Legend. Edge made his return and delivered his first Spear in more than 7 years. When Edge's music hit the WWE Universe went crazy and cheered all the way. Edge went on to hit Elias with his legendary finishing move. The Hall of Famer received a huge reaction from his hometown crowd.

There was a time when we all thought that we might never see Edge perform his moves in the ring again. Edge himself stated that one more Spear could paralyze him.

Since that moment at SummerSlam, the WWE Universe and the Wrestling pundits have started to speculate the in-ring future of Edge. Even if it's a small match, we'd still love to see Edge wrestle again. So, here are three possible opponents for Edge if he returns -

#3. Seth Rollins

Edge and Seth have had issues in the past

Edge never lost his World Heavyweight Championship, right? Well, he could face Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship. These two stars have had a little bit of history with each other in the past.

Five years ago, Seth Rollins was the hottest heel on the WWE roster after turning on The Shield. With Edge prone, Seth forced John Cena to re-instate The Authority. He threatened to paralyze Edge by hitting the Stomp on the neck of the Rated R Superstar if Cena refused. Ultimately, John Cena gave in to the demand of The Architect.

As far as this match is concerned, the WWE Universe won't care who wins it. Edge winning would be pretty obvious but Seth getting an upper hand would boost his career in the long run. It is also a fact that Seth is one of the best wrestlers in the world today, and the match will be good, at the very least.

#2. AJ Styles

Styles vs Edge is a dream match for many

Back in the day, AJ Styles vs Edge was among the top dream matches for wrestling audiences around the world. That could've been a once in a lifetime showdown, but the two individuals were not part of the same company during their respective careers.

AJ Styles is currently the biggest heel on RAW, a match between two wrestling legends would no doubt capture the attention of the WWE Universe. Styles getting an upper hand would give him a lot of momentum moving forward, and solidify his heel run.

WWE couldn't have a better option for Edge than AJ Styles with regards to Edge's health. Aside from the fact that Styles is the best wrestler currently, he is also the safest to work with. AJ Styles is capable of carrying a mediocre wrestler to a great match. Edge has always been a talented grappler, so it will not be massive challenge. If booked correctly, the WWE Universe might see a dream match come true, i.e., The Rated R Superstar going one-on-one with The Phenomenal One.

#1. John Cena

Cena vs Edge- One last time?

We have seen John Cena and Edge face-off many times in the past. But that was 10-12 years ago; there is a different John Cena and surely there is a different Edge now. The John Cena vs Edge feud for the WWE Championship had dominated RAW and SmackDown for a long period of time, but whenever Cena and Edge shared a ring the atmosphere of the arena changes.

Out of the three options, this is the one I'd be most excited about because of the promo battles between the two greats, the build-up, and the match itself. Considering the history they have had and the spectacular matches these two have given to the fans, this match needs to be taken into consideration by WWE Creative.

There is history, and there is a proven track record in terms of in-ring chemistry. With the time that has passed, it would also be nostalgic. We don't know who would win the match but it'll be entertaining.
