Hall Of Famer lists matches that could bring him back:

Edge has named Sami Zayn, Jeff Hardy and Christian as matches he would love to have if he could ever come back. He also revealed that Christian was scheduled to be his last opponent before his premature retirement in 2011...

"I was champion and I wanted to pass this on to whomever it was eventually, so it really hit home when I was told, 'We're not going to allow you to compete anymore.' We did have a tentative plan to go forward once Del Rio and I were through our program. Christian would have cost me the title to Del Rio, and then we would have moved on and done our thing – and I thought he would retire me at WrestleMania. That's how I wanted to go out. I wanted to do the favor, drop the title, and then have Christian be the cause – then spend the final few months of my career wrestling my lifelong best friend, and really have him go off in a great heel direction once I retired."

HOF feud:

"Going into that if I had have retired Savage I would have been red hot, I would have had some good steam going into that. I'm not a Bret Hart fan. To me Bret's really selfish, if you watch, there's points in that match where I'm hitting Bret with what's regarded as a hell of a working punch, I'm hitting Bret and he's not even moving, he's not even registering it. It was what it was, he was the new champion and he needed a win, which he got."
