Meanwhile, as of now, Edge is enjoying a great push as he won Royal Rumble 2021 and will be seen in the main event match at Wrestlemania 37.

In a talk with CBS Sports, Edge said, “That’s not why I came back (for being a part-timer). I didn’t just want to do regurgitated greatest hits. I wanted to come back because I wanted to tell compelling stories. I wanted to get in with a lot of talent so that… I could impart wisdom from 29 years of doing this, in terms of trying to tell a story, that’s really exciting for me. I love so much of this talent, and it’s exciting to be able to get in with them.”
“I came back committed to this. After my family, this is my top priority. If I’m asked to be in a title program heading into WrestleMania? I’m here every week. That’s the way I operate. I’m not going to be a guy who comes in for one week and floats off for eight weeks. If I’m involved and I’m in the mix, I’m going to be here every week because that’s how I operate,” Edge added further.
