WWE Hall of Famer Edge recently spoke with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated’s Extra Mustard, and below are some interview highlights.
On Shinsuke Nakamura possible winning the Royal Rumble match:
“I think it would be awesome. Nakamura has that kind of Jeff Hardy intangible, and then you add in the history with him and AJ.”

“I don’t think main-eventing WrestleMania is just for part-time talent, and I think AJ will prove that,” said Edge. “He is a guy who has caught fire and figured out what he needs to do in WWE, which isn’t far off from what he was already doing, but you can tell he made some tweaks. Now, he’s just firing on every cylinder you can fire on. So I think he can be one that shows you can be with WWE full-time and main-event.”
“I love Nakamura, but it’s a transition for anybody who comes to WWE. You start him off with Sami at NXT, and talk about having the ultimate meal set for you: you get this amazing selling babyface and get to have this spectacular match. As I’ve talked about on the podcast, NXT is a different beast from WWE. But I think he and AJ can be one of the main events, and I also know the people want it. With the proper build, AJ-Nakamura could be the match on last.”
