5 Best Candidates To Dethrone WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns
3. Edge
As of right now, Edge is in the running for this belt, and while it doesn't feel like the right time for him to conquer the mighty Roman Reigns, that doesn't mean it's not something that could happen somewhere down the line. Whether The Rated R Superstar manages to defeat Reigns at Money in the Bank or not is irrelevant, as even if he loses, he's still got the legendary status, star-power, and solid booking to one day become Universal Champion.
In Edge's WWE 24 documentary and several of his promos, he has discussed how his career coming to an end was painful, but what hurt most was the fact that it wasn't on his own terms. Being forced into retirement due to injury meant that he didn't have the power to go out how he wanted. But defeating Roman Reigns, capturing a belt he's never held and having one last hurrah would be a great way to put an end to his illustrious career.
Edge will always have the support of the crowd, so he'd attain one hell of a pop for dethroning the champion. It also needs to be said that their triple threat match with Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania was a barnstormer, so seeing them go one-on-one is going to be a spectacle.
