WWE Hall of Famer Edge recently spoke with SportsNet Today on a number of topics such as how he had a list of people he wanted to get in the ring with once he made his return to the WWE in 2020 and Roman Reigns, Damian Priest, Finn Balor, AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan were the guys he had in his list.
Edge said:
“I had a list of guys that I wanted to get in the ring with and a list of talent that, if I can help in any way, I wanted to be able to try and help as well. On the female side, Rhea Ripley was one of those. So the whole formation of Judgment Day and all of that was to honestly try and help Damian Priest, Ripley, and Balor get a better foothold within the company because I thought they deserved it. I think they’re all really, really talented.” “If I look at it, I’ve wrestled AJ, I’ve wrestled Finn, I wrestled Priest, I wrestled Roman, I wrestled Daniel Bryan, you know, those were all guys on the list.”
Edge also spoke about how he would love to get in the ring with talents like Montez Ford, Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn because Ford is someone he believes will be a champion in the future and he has not had an opportunity to face Sami in the past, while Owens is someone he only faced in an untelevised bout.
Edge said:
“I’d love to get in there with a guy like Montez Ford, because I really feel like his upside is that he’s going to be champ someday, I truly believe that.” “I’d like to get in there with Sami Zayn, we’ve never been in there together. I think that would be really cool, really fun, too. Kevin Owens, We wrestled once in Madison Square Garden, untelevised. It was a blast. He’s another guy.”
Edge then spoke about how Sheamus is someone he would love to face maybe more than anybody because of the story they could tell and the kind of match they could have.
Edge said:
“I’d love to get in there with Sheamus. Honestly, almost, maybe more than anybody. Because I feel like at this stage in our careers, and with the story that we could tell now, the kind of match we could have now, it’d be so much better than it would have been 15 years ago, ad he’s a guy that no matter how many years we’ve both been in the company, we’ve never had a one-on-one match. That seems crazy to me. So I feel like that needs to be rectified.” “I’d like to get in with this incarnation Drew McIntyre. It’d be good to get in there with Rey [Mysterio] again, you know? I’m just having fun. Honestly, that’s the beautiful part about it.”
