Who Will Edge Drop The Title To?

[reddevil69]

it only makes sense to me after how the cage match on smackdown went down last month that Taker will return and squash Mark Henry first, since he attacked him after the cage match and softened him up for Edge, and that will lead into a feud with Edge which will culminate at WrestleMania....you have two guys that have never been beaten at Mania plus the title on the line....and yes i know Edge did not win the money in the bank match at Mania this year but he was not pinned either, and him being a heel it would make sense to play that up....

Edge just got beat this mania. Anyways IMO I think Flair's going to be the one to dethrone Edge that is if Edge wins at vengeance which I hope. If not then they could have some feud with Flair and Batista at Wrestlemania former Mentor faces off against student where Flair comes out on top and then he retires.

Edge won't lose the title until Wrestlemania 24, when he drops it to The Undertaker. No way the WWE avoids this build-up. The only issue is that The Undertaker will be in the exact same spot as last year. I think Ken Kennedy, should he maintain his push will win the Royal Rumble and face Cena (or whomever is WWE champion at the time).

 

[Derf]

I think what would make a decent storyline, although I don't see this happening, is the wwe pulling a Booker T/King Booker, but with the Hardys. Both are in the upper midcard right now (as was Booker before the KOTR was announced last year). They should both get pushed real quick, but not into the title pic just yet. Have Matt Hardy feud with Edge soon, and have him have a title match at GAB, but not win the title. We all know the feud would be good, and we'd get to see how hardy looks in the main event pic. If he's good, have him beat Edge for the title at SSlam.
Simalar for Jeff hardy, somehow put him in a feud with Cena, have him lose, then win a rematch against Cena at SSlam. Both hardys win, and they don't have to have the show revolve completely around them just in case, with the McMahon/Foley or Mysterio rivalry about to begin.

Just my idea, it won't work, but I still think it's decent.

id love to see flair win it but the best option would be undertaker at wrestlemania going against edge who also has an undefeated streak ant wrestlemania. this could potentially be undertakers last wrestlemania and what a way to finish by winning the title and ending the other undefeated streak. Also if you pay close attention to the stipulation on the edge batista match they say he will never be able to face edge for the title again. and besides edge is getting a long run so they wont punish us with another batista title run again........hopefully not

 

[albertob92]

guys, i hate to be negative, but theres no way that Matt Hardy will get a world title run any time in the near future. i think people are forgetting that smackdown's head writer is also the guy that didnt see chris benoit as a main eventer. And IMO, Benoit and Hardy's mic skills are relative equal in quality, with both men being exciting in the ring, and both getting huge pops from the crowd. So for Michael Hayes to ignore Benoit and push Hardy, it just doesnt seem realistic to me.

I think itll probably be Mysterio or Flair to dethrone Edge, but Edge would win in back so he could start a feud with Taker for WM25

 

[reddevil69]

Edge did not win the match, but...HE WAS NOT BEATEN.....lying outside the ring while someone else grabs a victory does not mean you were beaten....it's the same psychology of a three way, for example Veangence 2002 had the Rock vs. Angle, vs. Undertaker for 'Taker's championship....Rock pinned Angle and became champ...Undertaker was not beaten, pinned or made to submit....it is winning by default in those cases....that's why after Summerslam when Lesnar won the belt from the Rock, Undertaker was the no.1 contender and feuded with Lesnar, because he did not 'technically' get beat fro the belt.......he did not win, but, with him being a heel, he could naturally downplay that fact and brag about how he has never been pinned at a Wrestlemania.....it is a tailor made feud waiting to happen....and as far as your pupil/student theory, don't forget that Edge was once part of 'Taker's ministry and they can sew that into the storyline as well.....

[Downward Spiral]

Praying to the good Lord that Batista doesn't win back the title at Vengeance (although that scenario seems to be getting likelier and likelier each day) I believe Edge is losing the title to 'Taker at WrestleMania 24. Obviously, this is a long way away, but I just don't see anyone taking that title off of him, because he deserves a long reign, and barring injury, he's going to lose it to Taker in Undertaker's last title reign in the WWE. When Taker returns, they've got a great feud set up, with Undertaker wanting revenge on Edge. We've never seen the two go at it for a lengthy period, and they should have a massive buildup to WrestleMania 24, and Edge and Taker are going to do it.

From now until then, I just don't see him losing it to anyone else. Batista will probably be replaced by Flair in the title picture, and Flair will be replaced by Mysterio when he returns, but Edge should be keeping that title. It would be a shame if he got shafted again, but I just think that the WWE will be rewarding him with a long title reign, but I won't see him ending 'Taker's undefeated streak at WM.

 

[Nj Fan 04]

I would love to see down the road a huge match with both the WHC (Edge) and the WWE title (Kennedy) on the line. Hardys vs. Edge and Kennedy in a TLC Match. Hardys win, and Jeff and Matt take the WWE and WHC championships, respectively. Edge and Matt could bring back all the old hatred and exchange the strap a couple times.

 

[Mr.Kennedy]

First of all superderf, Booker T was never mid-card status when he came to WWE even....it's only that they have been doing what they always do and that's kill the character in fueds in order to push the younger wrestlers....look at kane...jobbed to kahli.....umaga.....mvp.....they are getting old and it's just buisness! He's always been a main eventer but it's not anyone's fault but ur own that you never watched WCW....and I'm sure Rey will vs Edge when he comes back and it'd be nice to see Jeff and Matt as champions but they arn't ready yet!

 

[Mogglez234]

Too start off if anyone should get the title it should either be The Undertaker, Kane, or Ric Flair. I mean Undertaker got screwed and I just feel that he has done so much for the company. Ric and Kane have done their share of work themselves and both deserve title runs. But Ric wont be around for long and who knows how long Kane can hold the title before the crowd gets bored with him.Matt hardy is another pick. IMO MVP has not fully proved himself just yet.....but give him time.

Overall Picks

1.The Undertaker
2.Matt Hardy
3.Ric Flair
4.Kane
5.Rey Mysterio???

yeah think of samoa joes unbeaten streak in tna , he was nevr pinned or made to submit bu still lost ultimate X matches and stuff along those lines.

 

[Supremace]

other than the battle royal.. what was matt hardy's last single's loss?

it was to mvp..b4 he beat benoit for the belt.. so it would make no sense for hardy just to jump to edge without a victory over mvp .. i dont think so newayz' ..

 

[BlackHoleCradleShock]

I'm really lost as to what they're doing with Edge.
Everytime he wins a match,
it's never by a solid pinfall.
There's always some stupid stipulation or way that he "cheats" his way to victory.
I understand how this fits his character,
but I'd much rather see him actually put on good matches and win fair and square once in a while.

Now that Batista is out of the picture,
I hope they find someone to face him who has good chemistry,
like say maybe Kane or even Ric Flair.

 

[El Colombiano]

With Batista out of the picture, maybe there will be someone else.

Maybe WWE silently signs Kurt Angle back, restaring the feud from 5 years ago.

Maybe a good title vs gold medel match

 

[rickyricochet111]

I would have to say Kane, he hasn't held a world title in a long time and when he did it was for about 24 hours

 

[faucheaux]

Edge won't lose the belt until WrestleMania when Undertaker bets him and gets his reign as champion that he was going to have until he got injured. This will build Edge up as a tough champion and make the match and feud even better. Edge's reign is going to be like JBL's WWE title reign was. JBL won all of his title matches in unfair manners. But that is what made JBL's character great and hated so much. He never won fair. The same thing will be done with Edge, and when he loses it the match will be great and remembered. Loke at JBL vs Cena from WM 21. I see Edge feuding with three to four people in the next 9 months leading up to Mania.

1.) Ric Flair
2.) Rey Mysterio
4.) Matt Hardy
5.) Kane

 

[ZCDarrah]

It's hard to say who will beat Edge for the title. I've been reading other posts on the subject, the most likely person to me would be Kane. But, I feel that he has been jobbed too much in the last two years to be a credible champion.
Matt Hardy isn't ready to hold the belt, BUT they might be able to pull out a good fued, they've been pushing Hardy like crazy the last few months. But also I feel that a Hardy/MVP fued will be next.
Perhaps Flair? But would he get another run as champion. As much I would love to see that, you know that he would drop the belt to Batista afterwords, and nobody wants to see another non-charasmatic Batista title run.
As much as I love the Undertaker, I personally feel that he's not really WHC material.

 

[upz]

1) Hardy
2) Flair
3) MVP (Only if US goes to Flair)
4) Kane (Most deserving, his title reigns in the past, were some to remember, specially his feud with Austin)


FYI: If you remember reading a WZ story before, to the one who said MVP needed new clothing, they can't because his back has a big tattoo of Malcolm X on it so it doesn't work for his image.

 

[Don Killuminati]

I think it'll end up being Taker. He'll probably get a long term title reign before retiring so I think he'll win it at Wrestlemania 24 or maybe earlier. There are other people that could end up taking the title though like Rey. I'm not sure if they'd just put the title on him right after coming back but he'll probably at least challenge for it at a PPV.

You could also see MVP taking it. He's really been doing good recently. His improvement in the ring has been amazing and he's been over as a heel and could end up taking it in a triple threat or something. But I don't think he'll really take it off Edge but maybe after someone else holds it so that he's more established a main eventer once he moves out of the US title picture.

Kane is also a good possiblity. He really just deserves it. I've been wanting him to have a title reign for a while. He's proven himself in the ring and they just kinda ignore him. I'd just want to see him have a real title reign (longer then a day) before he retires.

I don't see Matt Hardy as a candidate. Yeah he's been pretty good recently but I just don't see them giving him the title. If they really wanted him to have the title he would have gotten it when he was so over with the Edge/Lita feud a couple years ago. I just don't think they see him as a main eventer but I could see him taking the US title.

So here's my list:
1. Taker
2. Rey
3. MVP
4. Kane

 

[MY TIME IS NOW]

I think Edge will hold onto the world championship for a long time now. The only star who is going to take it from him when he returns is The Undertaker around Survivor Series time.
.

 

[Mexican Geek]

agreed on Taker, but not in survivor Series...
i would like to see a tournament around February after the rumble, to determine the other big contender(taker).
in the mean time, they can make Edge feud with Myterio, Kane, Matt hardy, Flair..

 

[Ticked Off Texan]

Well I see Edge going for a long reign on top of the SmackDown mountain. But I could see MVP moving up the card after losing the US title, he's actually a pretty good wrestler and performer, all I see him needing his a little more experiance and a new ring outfit. In the futre this guy could be one of the WWE's top heels and have a lot of fueds with faces.

Another guy that could win it is Flair, just remembering the TLC Match with Edge back on RAW the fans were behind him and he kept on fighting to get the win, althou I don't see a long fued between Edge and Flair happening a short one with Flair winning at a PPV and Edge not being given an easy title rematch.

As for Matt Hardy, I don't see him as a World Champion but his last few matches have been really great and he could make his way up to the upper-card soon, if he fueds with Edge I don't see him winning the title.

So my top 5 for the title are probaly
1. MVP
2. Taker
3. Flair
4. Hardcore Holly (if given the proper push)
5. Matt Hardy

 

[robwylde90]

i could see edge holding the title until wrestlemania next year and either undertaker will take revenge and extend the winning streak, MVP will become a major playa and dethrone him or kennedy will return to take revenge on edge for beating him for the money in the bank contract, and if done right a matt hardy edge feud with hardy finally winning the big one would draw big money as matt is very over , I don't think ric flair will get another title reign tho but you never know I suppose.

So my pick's are:

1.'Taker
2.MVP
3.Kennedy
4.Matt Hardy
5.Flair
