On the most recent episode of WWE’s The Bump, Kevin Owens has revealed that he wishes to face Edge. both the wrestlers are on the Smackdown roster currently and they could wrestle some time in future.

“I gotta say, I wondered if he would even come back from this injury because who knows? But I’m glad to see he did, and of course, a possibility of a match with Edge, now that it’s back on the table, is something really appealing and I really hope it happens. I just hope I’m in the ring with him in any way shape or form. I’d be happy to be his tag team partner once. I’d love to wrestle him.”
