10 Wrestlers Who Lost Touch With Humanity
2. Edge
Edge Vs AJ Styles was one of those combinations everybody wanted when the 'Rated-R Superstar' returned in 2020.
The pandemic ultimately hijacked the magic of his return, but WWE circling back around to it for WrestleMania 38 felt so obvious a play that it became hard to imagine how they could really book the bout to be anything more than a boilerplate dream match. An Edge heel turn was deemed the answer.
Now portraying a man with a god complex (not unlike several other recent heel turns, almost as if Vince McMahon has a new specific kink), Edge has gone to a(nother) dark place bathed in blue following a brutal assault. It's sixth form college stuff that thinks its cleverer than it is, but it will at very least fill some time during the build to the 'Show Of Shows' and this kind of content production can only detach WWE further from the human audience it still actually desires.
