10 Most Heavily Protected Wrestlers In WWE Today

9. Edge

It’s a bit weird to put someone like Edge on this list, but it is what it is. Truth be told, it shouldn’t really come as a surprise that one of WWE’s most protected people today, is also a Hall of Fame legend.

Ever since making his iconic return, Edge has yet to take a clean loss; every single L on his record came about as a result of screwy finishes. Randy Orton and Seth Rollins used low blows, and Roman Reigns needed run-ins from Jey Uso and Rollins in order to pin Edge’s shoulders to the mat.

The Rated-R Superstar's most recent defeat was perhaps the best example of how determined the bookers are to ensure he looks strong. It took around a huge number of kicks to the head and a Stomp - all of which came after a cheap low blow - before Rollins could finally beat the man.

That’s not say Edge hasn’t deserved this protection. No one can argue the quality of his matches, or his ability to get the crowd going.

After battling Galactus and pinning Hulk Hogan in the main event of Wrestlemania, I've taken a break from living in fantasy worlds, to focus on writing about them. I'm a comic book geek, a wrestling mark, a break dancer, and a scientist. One of those things may not be true.
