Edge made history by winning his second WWE Royal Rumble Match

This was, in fact, Edge's second Royal Rumble win. His first was way back in 2010 and on that occasion, he made a surprise return to WWE. With the win, Edge will is now in contention to challenge for a World Championship at this year's WrestleMania 37.

The Rated-R Superstar has two options ahead of him, as he could either challenge Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship or Drew McIntyre for the WWE Championship. Regardless of who Edge chooses, the match at 'Mania 37 certainly promises to be an exciting encounter.

As for Royal Rumble 2021, it certainly was heartwarming to see a veteran like Edge mark his return to WWE with a historic win after spending the last few months on the sidelines. At last year's Rumble, the former WWE World Champion came out of retirement but couldn't seal his place in the main event of WrestleMania. This time around, though, Edge, who started the Rumble at #1, went all the way to win it.
