10 WWE Superstars Who Need To Revert To Their Old Gimmick

10. 'Broodish' Edge Back To 'Rated R Superstar' Edge

Is it too soon to comment on yet another gimmick change for Edge?

The man is, rightfully so, a WWE legend, but he has chopped and changed his presentation so much since his incredible return that it's undercut its impact. His main event at WrestleMania 37 alongside Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan, along with his trilogy with Seth Rollins, have more than proved his value to the top end of the card.

So, why is Edge so insistent on trying to be the new Undertaker?

Controversial take here, but the Brood were crap. They had a cool entrance and theme, but beyond the first blood bath, the gimmick quickly ran out of steam. Nostalgia paints everything in a different shade, but Edge didn't set off on the path to superstardom until he and Christian became goofballs. The Judgment Day (don't worry, we'll get to them) felt like pandering and it just didn't work.

With TV-14 potentially coming soon, a return to the 'Rated-R Superstar' gimmick was right there, yet Edge returned at SummerSlam with fire and goth stuff. It just feels a bit lame and played-out, and Edge doesn't need the parlour tricks of a spooky gimmick to be a big deal.

Hopefully, he veers more towards what made him so beloved, instead of continuing down the dark rabbit hole of being a brooding elder statesman.
