This week your boy is excited for 2 big reasons. One being that the Royal Rumble ppv was a success. This ppv basically set the stage for the Big one of the year....Wrestlemania.
(TNA take notes...this is what a ppv is supposed to look like). The second reason is the biggest news of the week. Edge has returned (maybe at the risk of being too early), and wins the Royal Rumble. So I got a question that comes to mind when I see Edge winning the Rumble. Who's title does Edge go after at Wrestlemania?
-Does he Challenge for the WWE Championship? Currently held on RAW by Sheamus, there's only 1 ppv left to change the possibility of a "Edge vs Sheamus" title match. So far, both Cena and Orton are top contenders for the title and could change the championship status by Wrestlemania. Edge vs Cena? You know that if this match happens, Edge has a big bone to pick with Cena. But what about Edge's former tag partner? Edge vs Orton? These two formed the tag team of Rated RKO. They've got no bad blood between them, so you know it'll be about one thing.....the WWE Championship. This could be a Wrestlemania Classic!
-Does Edge challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship? Currently on Smackdown with The Undertaker as the champion, this could be the rematch that in fact HBK has been lookin' for. Taker has owned Smackdown since Edge's departure, and is odds on favorite to win once again at Mania. Should Edge take a shot of a lifetime and try to kill 2 birds with 1 stone by tryin' to both win the title, AND stop Taker's Wrestlemania streak? What about the other top contenders though? With several top names on tap, there's several possibilities to who could be champ by Mania. Could Y2J win the title by then? We all know that Edge would love to battle him and also kill 2 birds with 1 stone by shuttin' him up, and winning the title from him.
Batista or Rey Mysterio vs Edge? Batista was #30 in the Rumble, makin' him a huge odds on favorite to win....except Mr #29(Edge) took Batista out. You know there's bad blood there. For Mysterio there would be less drama, but a big match for the fans. CM Punk vs Edge? What's
better than winning the Money in the Bank at Wrestlemania? How about "Main Eventing" Wrestlemania as champion defending against Edge? These two have a big history, and in it, Punk has been a thorn in the side of Edge. This match could be huge.
Does Edge challenge for the ECW title? Christian has been holdin' down ECW since he arrived from TNA. It's highly likely that Christian will be champ by Mania if not #1 contender to someone else. Now I know that some are thinkin' "why on earth would Edge degrade himself and waste a Royal Rumble win to challenge for the ECW title"? Well I got 2 good answers for ya... 1, Obviously Edge's old tag partner Christian. These 2 in a match would make history...it's an "Instant Classic". 2 Edge's "real" injury status. If in fact Edge came back too early and is not quite ready to carry the torch of one of the big titles, then at least he can boost up ECW's status by holdin' that title for a bit. Think about this real quick. So far, RAW's Big Show is the only superstar to have held the WCW, WWE, and ECW titles. Edge could now be the next guy to pull off such a stunt. Sure the World Heavyweight title isn't the same exactly as the WCW title, but so what?....If Edge wins the ECW title, he can be either be the 2nd guy to win all three titles, or simply the 1st to win all three titles as currently constituted. Think about it....someday,...some superstar will accomplish this feat. Why not Edge?....and why not at Wrestlemania?
One thing's for sure. The WWE is better for having Edge available for Wrestlemania. I'm sure we're gonna see a new chapter in Wrestlemania history be made this year.
