Is Edge back in WWE? That’s the question on everyone’s mind after he made a surprise appearance on Monday Night Raw. We’ll take a look at what Edge has been up to since he left WWE and whether or not he could be making a return to the ring.
Introduction
It’s been almost a year since Edge had to retire from in-ring action due to a neck injury, but recent rumors have been circulating that the WWE Hall of Famer may be making a return to the ring. Let’s take a look at what we know so far about Edge’s potential return to WWE.
Is Edge Back In WWE?
Edge, one of the most popular WWE Superstars of all time, returned to WWE television last night after a nine-year absence. His return was one of the most talked-about moments in recent WWE history. So, is Edge back in WWE for good? Let’s take a look.
If you’ve been wondering if Edge is back in WWE, his recent social media posts may have given you a clue. The Rated-R superstar has been active on Twitter and Instagram, and he even posted a photo of himself with WWE Chairman Vince McMahon. So what does this mean?
Of course, Edge isn’t the only one who has been wondering if he’s back in WWE. Rumors have been circulating for weeks that the Hall of Famer is set to make his return to the ring, and there’s been speculation that he could be appearing at WrestleMania 35.
However, it’s worth noting that Edge hasn’t officially announced that he’s returning to WWE. He could just be teasing us, or he could be appearing on WWE programming in a non-physical role. Only time will tell, but we’re certainly excited to see what Edge has in store for us!
His recent WWE appearances
Edge made his first WWE appearance in almost a year on the January 11, 2020, episode of RAW, appearing in a vignette teasing his in-ring return. He officially returned to WWE programming on the January 25, 2020, episode of RAW, saving Randy Orton from an attack by Rollins. The following week on RAW, Edge faced Rollins in a losing effort. At the Royal Rumble on January 26, Edge entered the men’s Royal Rumble match at number 21 and was eliminated by Braun Strowman.
Why Edge May Be Returning to WWE
After a nearly ten year hiatus, Edge may be returning to WWE. This is a huge deal for WWE fans, as Edge is one of the most popular wrestlers of all time. There are a few reasons why Edge may be returning to WWE. First, his neck injury has healed and he has been cleared to wrestle. Second, he recently signed a new contract with WWE. And third, he has been appearing on WWE television more and more in recent months.
His passion for the business
In an interview with CBS Sports, Edge talked about how his passion for the business has never gone away, even though he’s been retired for nearly a decade.
“I’m very passionate about it,” Edge said. “It’s the thing that, no matter what I do in my life, I always come back to it. I always think about it. It’s always there. It’s like an itch that you can’t scratch.”
Edge also admitted that he has thought about making a return to WWE many times over the years, but he always turned down the offers because he didn’t want to risk his health.
“I’ve had multiple conversations,” Edge said. “They’ve asked and I’ve said no for one reason and one reason only: My health. That’s it. My neck is fused together. It’s not great.”
However, Edge’s health has improved in recent years thanks to some new treatments, and that has given him the confidence to make a return to WWE. He signed a new contract with WWE earlier this year, and he made his surprise return at the Royal Rumble in January.
His love for the fans
In a recent interview with Chris Jericho for the Talk Is Jericho podcast, Edge said that his love for the fans is what led him to a WWE return:
“I missed the fans. I missed being able to go out there and do what I do and have that reaction from the crowd,” said Edge. “It’s unlike anything else. It really is its own unique animal.”
Edge also mentioned that he was surprised by how much he enjoyed his Royal Rumble return, despite not being physically 100%.
“I had a lot of fun. I was worried because I’m not physically 100%,” said Edge. “But once I got out there, it was like riding a bike.”
Conclusion
From all the evidence that is available, it seems that Edge is not currently signed with WWE. It is possible that he may return in the future, but as of right now, it does not seem likely.
