5 possible opponents for Edge on RAW: Renewing an old feud and challenging for a title

In one of the major shake-ups on Night One of the WWE Draft, SmackDown Superstar Edge was drafted to WWE RAW.

Truth be told, drafting the WWE Hall of Famer to the red brand was a bit surprising as his feud with Seth Rollins is nowhere close to being over.

The Friday Night Messiah stormed into The Rated R Superstar's house on the latest episode of SmackDown when Edge was at the Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore, the venue for SmackDown. Tensions were flaring as Edge called his wife Beth Phoenix to make sure she was alright and asked her to not go home.

To keep this rivalry alive, WWE might also consider drafting Seth Rollins to the red brand on Night Two of the draft. Having said this, with The Rated R Superstar now on RAW, there'll be new opponents and fresh challenges that await him.

In this article, we look at five possible opponents for Edge on RAW.

#5 Keith ''Bearcat" Lee vs Edge

Keith “Bearcat” Lee made his return to RAW last week and annihilated a petrified Akira Tozawa. The heavyweight has been in big contests in the past, pinning him against the likes of Drew McIntyre, Braun Strowman, and Bobby Lashley to name a few.

In this new avatar, Keith looks even more dangerous. A feud with a WWE veteran like Edge could work well for this former NXT performer. The two men have never squared off against each other, and this could certainly be an exciting first for the WWE Universe.

#4 AJ Styles vs. Edge

A contest between AJ Styles and Edge certainly seems like a dream. The two WWE Superstars have never crossed paths.

The Phenomenal One, despite being one of the biggest superstars on RAW, has been underutilized. After losing the RAW Tag Team Championships to RK-Bro with his partner Omos at SummerSlam, AJ Styles has had his share of singles matches against Randy Orton and Riddle, but without a consequential storyline.

If Styles isn't drafted to SmackDown, WWE could surely consider putting him in a feud with Edge, which would be a contest as exciting as they come. The two veterans will try to outsmart and outperform each other, much to the delight of the WWE Universe.

#3 Damian Priest vs. Edge

A chance to compete with a WWE Hall of Famer like Edge will work wonders for Damian Priest as he looks to cement his name in WWE.

The Archer of Infamy has been mighty impressive since he moved to the main WWE roster from NXT. He has battled hard to keep his United States Championship, and a contest with The Rated R Superstar for the title will certainly help put Priest over in the business.

Truth be told, with Damian Priest's in-ring charisma, one would be reminded of a young Edge. Their first showdown will be worth cherishing for the WWE Universe. This can only happen provided the current champion does not see his fate change on the Night Two of the WWE Draft.

#2 Randy Orton vs. Edge

Any rivalry pinning two of the best superstars, Randy Orton and Edge, will always be a big draw for fans.

These stalwarts have been tag-team partners as well as fierce foes with their last feud happening not too long ago at WrestleMania 36 in a Last Man Standing Match. Edge got the better of Orton at the time. They were also in a match on Monday Night RAW in February this year, with The Rated R Superstar once again triumphing with a little help from Alexa Bliss.

Now that The Rated R Superstar is back on RAW and The Viper will also not get drafted, they could certainly look to renew their rivalry. Randy is currently part of RK-Bro as the reigning RAW Tag Team Champions, albeit also competing in singles action.

#1 WWE Champion Big E vs. Edge

When Edge made a return to the squared circle after a nine-year hiatus, he had one goal in mind: to once again become champion. The Rated R Superstar wasn't successful in accomplishing his dream on the blue brand for The Universal Championship owing to a varied number of reasons.

Now that he's back on RAW, a chance to challenge Big E for the WWE Championship will be on the cards. The WWE Champion has all but ended his rivalry with Bobby Lashley after an impressive win in a Steel Cage Match last week on RAW.

The contest between Edge and Big E will certainly be fascinating as these men have never squared off against each other. With stakes as high as a world title, one would surely be in for a treat.
