After a solid showing at WrestleMania 36 against Randy Orton in a Last Man Standing Match, Edge was challenged by Orton to a ‘wrestling match’ which would not have any other stipulations. Advertised as the ‘greatest wrestling match ever’, the two had a lot to live up to. Unfortunately, an injury to Edge during the match, where he tore his triceps, threw a spanner in the works. Edge was out of action for the rest of 2020. The Rated-R Superstar returned during the 2021 Royal Rumble event.
Speaking about his injury at Backlash during an interview with Vicente Beltran, Edge opened up about his mindset going into the pay-per-view. He revealed that all he wanted at the time was to get back into the wrestling scene, but that was put to a stop thanks to the injury.
“We are trying to make this fairy tale” - Edge on his 2021 Royal Rumble win
In 2021, Edge was announced for the Royal Rumble unlike the previous year, where his entrance had been one of the biggest surprises of the night. Edge revealed that he knew that last year’s story could not be recreated. The Rated-R Superstar thought it was a better idea to simply make an announcement about his entry into the Men’s Royal Rumble match this year.
Edge won the 2021 WWE Royal Rumble, which means he can decide whom he wants to face at WrestleMania. Whether he challenges for the WWE Championship, the WWE Universal Championship, or the NXT Championship, remains to be seen.
