Would you give Edge one more title run?

[A Little Doo Doo]

I like to think Edge has a regular 9-5 job outside of wrestling and always gets destroyed before he leaves to make his latest WWE return.

In his heel Judgment Day character? I would've been down for it. Cause it felt fresh.

"Nostalgia" Edge? No thanks.

[nisidhe]

I honestly think Edge is and should be done now.

Trips appears to be keen generally to keep focused on the current crop of talent and the up-and-comers. The Law of Diminishing Returns suggests that there's really nobody left to get the rub from him. It's much the same with Lesnar now, especially since Roman's been so dominant on top. The Saudi shows might be the only spot left where the nostalgia acts really make business sense.

The problem is that WWE has no effective managers who can sell the talents who are a little weaker on the mic. Edge might have done better as a manager-mentor to an expanded Judgement Day faction (which might well have included Finn Balor if they were going to turn him heel anyway), rather than let him be negated by the feud following the double-turn. Apart from Edge and Paul Heyman (who's hardly needed in that function anymore), there's an absolute dearth of people with managerial potential and little motivation for the company to correct that situation. The Miz might be able to pivot into that role, but would he really want to? It's reached a point at which managers might be needed but aren't available, certainly not at the level that used to exist in the 80s, for example.

Instead of combining both titles for this endless Reigns reign, they could've had Drew beat Roman at Clash for the WWE title to split the belts, have Drew drop it to Edge at the Rumble, and had Cody beat Edge at WM for the Night 1 main event. Edge having a few months as champion would've made his comeback that much sweeter. He could technically still do it next year before he retires, but that window is pretty narrow now.

[Soultastic]

He absolutely should've won a world title after winning the Rumble, hold it at least a week so Roman can continue his endless pointless reign. But now? I fear the train has left the station.

I wouldn't be against him winning any of the tag titles with a younger wrestler, like he did with Hogan. Might be a cool full circle moment.

If they did pull the trigger, it needs to be with his spinner belt. Coolest spinner belt ever.

[Gerard Gerard]

All these ‘Edge to NXT’ comments are reminding me of the time they sent him to NXT to tease using his Rumble shot there and viewership absolutely tanked for whatever reason.

[Finish Uncle Muffin’s Story]

The moment that would have mattered was WrestleMania 37 - ten years to the day he retires, he comes back and somehow pulls out the big one. He could have pinned Bryan, didn't even need to pin Roman.

With the benefit of hindsight, I think that's genuinely the only time they could/should have took the belt off Roman in the last few years. It was a mistake. I think you still could have built Roman as the Final Boss like he is today while giving Edge that moment. He was the most over person in that match, too.

It's bizarre to me for a company SO focused on "amazing moments" they missed that one. Michael Cole on that call would have killed it.

Now, I don't think he needs it and is probably better off just working with who he wants to work until he hangs it up in a year or two.

Have Mick Foley come out and award him the 24/7 title for no reason.

[Marvelous1LUFC]

I dont think Edge should win any title. Apparently he had 11 world title reigns?! Only 2-3 of them are memorable, and one could argue that if the Edge & Lita relationship wasnt made public, he may have only had 1 world title reign near the end of his career.

Fans say after he injured his neck and retired, that he was robbed of a career? Which seems like BS to me, his spear pailed in comparison to goldberg, and i never found Edge interesting.

It baffles me that WWE title is leading.. At the moment

[floundertime]

Where’s the Tomko option?

Because there's not a "No" option on the poll for some reason, and I have nothing against Edge either.
