WWE Day 1: Five potential finishes for Edge vs. The Miz

In an engaging feud for WWE Day 1, Edge and The Miz will look to settle their rivalry in the ring.

Their tussle began a few weeks back on Monday Night RAW. The Rated-R Superstar's return to the red brand was welcomed by the WWE Universe, albeit he had one detractor, The Miz.

The A-Lister also returned to RAW the same night but did not receive the same ovation as Edge. This led to a heated verbal exchange between the two when The Miz started criticizing the WWE Hall of Famer.

Eventually, a match was booked between Edge and The Miz at the upcoming Day 1 pay-per-view. Over the last few weeks, both men have tried to topple each other.

On the latest episode of RAW, Edge showered Miz and his wife Maryse with a Brood Bath during the couple's wedding vow renewal ceremony. WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff, who served as the wedding officiant, was also not spared.

Things are certainly at a breaking point between The Rated-R Superstar and the A-Lister. In this article, we look at five potential finishes for Edge vs. The Miz at WWE Day 1:

#5 Edge seals the deal with The Spear at Day 1

The Spear is one of the most effective finishers in WWE. Icons like Goldberg, Batista, and Roman Reigns have laid countless opponents to rest with the move.

Having said this, few superstars have used The Spear better than The Rated-R Superstar. Back in 2011, Edge defeated The Miz with The Spear in a Champion vs. Champion match on RAW.

There is certainly no reason why the Hall of Famer can't do it again at Day 1. If The Miz is knocked out with The Spear, the WWE Universe will indeed be celebrating Edge's victory.

#4 The Miz triumphs with The Skull Crushing Finale at Day 1

The Miz will rely on his most potent weapon, The Skull Crushing Finale, to reign supreme at Day 1.

The A-Lister has used this finisher to good effect to put countless opponents to rest. Having already nailed Edge with The Skull Crushing Finale on the December 20 episode of RAW, The Miz will certainly try it again.

If The Miz successfully hits his finisher, it will certainly be over for Edge, giving the former a well-deserved victory.

#3 Edge locks The Glasgow Grin to secure the victory

The Glasgow Grin is a submission maneuver Edge has used to great effect in 2021.

The chair-assisted Crossface has paid dividends for The Rated-R Superstar, having used it on Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 37. The Hall of Famer also used it on The Usos. Most recently, he used it on Seth Rollins during their infamous rivalry.

Edge will undoubtedly try to apply this maneuver on The Miz on Day 1. Judging by the submission's effectiveness, it would immediately turn the tide in the former's favor.

#2 Maryse distracts the referee as The Miz scores the pinfall at Day 1

Maryse will undoubtedly play a vital role at Day 1. The former Divas Champion will seek revenge for the Brood Bath she and her husband received on RAW.

As the Day 1 match gathers momentum, Maryse could play her cards by distracting the referee. This will enable The Miz to use unfair tactics and secure the pin over a distracted Edge.

Any form of victory for the couple will work, provided they manage to prevail over the Hall of Famer.

#1 Beth Phoenix returns to help her husband soar to victory

Beth Phoenix recently gave up her commentating duties on NXT 2.0 but remained a part of WWE.

The Glamazon wants to spend more time with her family as a reason for this decision. But if her husband, Edge, is cornered by The Miz and Maryse, Beth will undoubtedly intervene.

The WWE Hall of Famer could make her return to WWE at Day 1 to even the odds. She could nail Maryse with The Glam Slam to prevent her from interfering in the match. This will allow Edge to focus his attention on The Miz without any distractions.

With the help of Beth Phoenix, a win for Edge at Day 1 will indeed be gratifying for this Hall of Fame couple.
