Since his return, he's only worked with select talent often resulting in multiple matches that weren't needed such as the following:
Randy Orton
Roman Reigns
Seth Rollins
The Miz
AJ Styles
Damien Priest
Finn Balor
Most of these feuds as a one and done challenger would've been great and he works with more of the roster helping the younger stars. He didn't need to stick around long term in most of these feuds which would've been done simply with a rematch blow off at best and move on.
I'm sure some of these feuds must have made some people bored here after the rematch or second rematch after that.
He's missing out on a lot of different talent he could've work such as Lashley, Owens, Drew, Sheamus, Butch, GUNTHER, Braun, Karrion, Bray and so on.
Time is ticking on the man's career.

The first Seth match was really, really good (not seen the others) and I'm really scratching my head to think of a single other thing he's done that's been worth bothering with.
Even as much as I love Judgment Day his stuff with them's been quite bleh because it's been an endless repetition of, "I made it and I'll destroy it!" followed by them kicking his ass while he takes his contractually mandated vacation.

I wonder if he's purposely selective in who he works with because of the neck. So maybe he's not as inclined to work with guys who work stiff or a little reckless. I guess that's why we will never see a Lesnar vs. Edge match. Looks like he's definitely selecting safe workers to work with until retirement. Too bad also, he didn't go back to Rated-R as a heel to end his career. That was his best work. One last MITB win and he cashes in to lose is a good way to go out. |

just about Edge's entire return has been lackluster for a variety of reasons, for me at least.

I did think on my run today how it’s kind of weird to see his character evolution post-return. The monologuing-grit-return-to-dark-roots, short judgment day - cheap local town heat, to “That Couple At The Bar” with Beth has been a HECK of a rollercoaster ride.

The Rollins and Orton feuds were great. The Roman, Bryan, and Edge match was cool to see. The others have been eh. Hoping for a KO feud before alls said and done.

He is a character that works best on top. In an ideal world, he should have been the one Roman took away the WWE title from. It would have meant more. Almost kinda sucks he faced Roman so early in Roman's run as that Mania triple threat from a few years ago feels so inconsequential compared to what Roman has done in the last year and a half |

Nah, I see anything he does as a bonus. Still feels kinda surreal.

If you take out the Rated R Superstar heel run... this is kind of what you have with Edge, no? That was a massive part of him becoming a top tier talent, and so not being able to do that now does stifle him a bit.

It’s been start and go with the injury and the part-time nature of his run, but I think he’s been great both in-ring and on the mic. Just about everything he’s done has been at least solid, with some being spectacular (the Orton feud, the Rollins feud, the Reigns feud being the best).

If they want to do a Rhea/Beth match, then just do it already so Edge can move on from Judgment Day. |

Outsider opinion as I don't watch anymore.
Edge had a magnificent career that got snuffed out. It's beyond a miracle that he's been able to come back at all.
Anything he does now is gravy, to me, Edge is a higher profile version of the mid-2000s legends, banking on him to have legendary feuds is a big ask.

His feuds with Orton and Rollins were great.
I actually liked him as the leader of Judgment Day and wish they went further with it. But his feud with them has been enjoyable too.
I'm hoping we get Edge vs Brock next.

I've enjoyed most of his stuff but that Edge/AJ Wrestlemania match last year was a huge disappointment. I was thinking it could steal the show but it ended up being the definition of average and arguably not even a top 5 match of that Wrestlemania.. Not bad. Not good. Just there and completely forgettable.
