Top NXT Star Badly Wants To Wrestle Edge

After Edge won the Royal Rumble match he teased making his way to NXT. He made it known that he was considering challenging the NXT Champion at WrestleMania and while that did not happen, it appears that he is open to appearing on the yellow brand.

Now, former NXT Champion Adam Cole has said that he badly wants to wrestle Edge. Speaking with Fox Sports, Cole was asked if he wants to wrestle Edge, to which he responded very passionately. Here is the quote:

“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. 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.

“I remember years ago Edge used to come down to the Performance Center and share his knowledge with people, just because he has such a passion for pro wrestling, and it was so cool to see that and how important it was to him. 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.”

Adam Cole unsuccessfully challenged Finn Balor for the NXT Championship on last night’s NXT. It now seems that he will be facing Kyle O’Reilly at TakeOver but perhaps a match with Edge can still happen in the future.
