10 Best Picks For New WWE Raw & Smackdown General Managers
5. Smackdown - Edge
Believe it or not, it's been more than five years since Edge was forced to retire due to injury. His emotional speech remains one of the most memorable Raw moments of the decade, and even though he was never a star on the level of John Cena or Brock Lesnar, he's done pretty well for himself - he's gotten regular work as an actor and he's made sporadic WWE appearances.
Edge seems to be content with his post-retirement life, but some of his work - including The Edge and Christian Show That Totally Reeks of Awesomeness - indicates that he still loves the world of wrestling. Perhaps he'd be willing to come back as the General Manager of Smackdown.
Even as a bad guy, Edge always had a great rapport with the WWE Universe, and it's kept him beloved in retirement. That would serve him well as GM of Smackdown - especially if Christian is put in charge of Raw. The two best friends are inextricably linked, and a inter-brand rivalry - leading to a full-fledged feud - could give Raw versus Smackdown even more juice.
