5 Things that need to happen if Edge wins the Universal Championship at Money in the Bank 2021

#3. Edge should be a "tweener" character and not an outright babyface or heel

Edge turned heel in the build to WrestleMania 37

When Edge returned to WWE in 2021, he was a babyface - exactly where he had left off. However, with Daniel Bryan's addition in the WrestleMania 37 main event, he quickly turned heel and we saw glimpses of his ruthless side.

However, the heel turn itself didn't last too long since Edge wasn't having a run that extended beyond WrestleMania 37. Now that he has returned, it's as a babyface. With that said, he doesn't seem like a "white meat" babyface, as they're called.

If he wins the Universal Championship, the best role for his character is to be a "tweener" - in between a babyface and heel. We've seen examples before with The Undertaker where he simply transcended the entire babyface-heel character dynamic. The same could happen with Edge.

While he made his name as a singles star while being a ruthless heel, the rough and veteran version is different. Being a 'tweener' and not a babyface or heel is the best option for The Rated-R Superstar as he can face superstars on either side. Fans will naturally keep cheering him, but that doesn't mean that WWE needs to stick to him being a babyface.
