WWE star Edge is a wanted man in the ring with Adam Cole keen on wrestling the Canadian

Edge returning to the WWE has been great not only for him but several talents all around.

The Rated-R Superstar is now performing regularly and that opens the doors for many battles. While Edge chose Randy Orton to be the first star he faced in one-on-one competition after his comeback, there are several possibilities now.

Edge is expected to face Roman Reigns for the WWE title at WrestleMania 37 but there are many NXT stars keen on facing him.

One of them is Adam Cole. The leader of the Undisputed Era is an NXT triple crown champion and is considered as one of the best in WWE.

While Cole hasn’t featured regularly on the two main brands, Edge has come on NXT a couple of times.

Cole was speaking to Ryan Satin on Fox Sports and confirmed he wanted to fight Edge (h/t Ewrestling):

“[I want that match] so, so, so, so badly. Now I feel bad for not mentioning Edge as one of my top heels as well, now that you said that.

“The problem is, there are so many good people. I’ll give a list, then we’ll bring somebody else up and I’m like, ‘Oh, crap. I should’ve added him to the list.’ Edge is one of the greatest heels of all time.”

Edge’s WWE run was one of the best ever

The Rated-R Superstar excelled in all storylines he was featured in. Edge won almost every title there is to win in WWE and Cole also brought up his runs from decades back:

“His run, no matter where he was – as a tag team wrestler, as a World Champion, as a heel, as a babyface – it didn’t matter.

“He was just so fantastic. And the fact that Edge, indeed, does want to come back and not just wrestle every now and then, but is excited at the idea of wanting to come and wrestle guys in NXT.”

Cole added that Edge would regularly come to the Performance Center and share his knowledge with the other talents.

The leader of the Undisputed Era then added that Edge remains one of his “all-time” favourites and he would love to have a battle:

“He’s one of my all-time favorites. His body of work speaks for itself. Yeah. If I had the opportunity to get in the ring with Edge, I wouldn’t pass that up for anything. I would love the chance.”

It is to be seen what happens with Edge given that he is battle Reigns now. The Rated-R Superstar could do a great job on NXT too, but frankly, he would do a great job anywhere he goes.
