Edge has been on top of his game following his WWE return at Royal Rumble 2020. The Rated-R Superstar has been a part of mind-blowing angles ever since.
The former WWE Champion got involved in top-notch promos and excellent matches. 2021 was a great year for The Ultimate Opportunist as he won the Men's Rumble Match. His feud with Seth Rollins was the talk of the town last year.
Edge is currently involved in a hugely anticipated WrestleMania bout this year against AJ Styles. In fact, the beloved star turned heel in the process.

Edge returned to WWE after being forced to retire following a series of neck injuries. Many moments have been created since his return. One such moment transpired during the Rated-RKO reunion match. Randy Orton and Edge were one of the hottest tag teams during the Ruthless Aggression Era.
On RAW after Royal Rumble 2020, Orton betrayed Edge, crashing the dreams of them reuniting. The incident set up their feud at The Showcase of the Immortals.
WWE later made the bout into a Last Man Standing match. Despite being a slow-paced contest, it turned out great due to the compelling storytelling. The Rated-R Superstar won after hitting The Viper in the head.
