REVEALED: Edge’s Conditions For Returning To The WWE

Edge has been a mainstay in WWE for over a decade, having multiple memorable moments. Both as a singles competitor and in the tag team division with Christian. He had to retire in 2011 due to his neck injury and spinal stenosis.

He would make an appearance at Smackdown 1000, where he tried to tell Becky to stop her way of doing things. Only to have Becky insult him on his neck.

Edge revealed the reason for him returning to the WWE. This is what he said:

“The reason I was listed and announced and then unannounced is because they didn’t ask me. They just announced me and I went, ‘Hey guys I’m not gonna show up unless you tell me what the creative is because when I do come back I want it to mean something. I want it to be able to further something. I want it to help a current character on the show. There’s nothing wrong with this, but I don’t want to just be the comedy pre-tape in the back. I don’t want to just be a guy playing the APA card game — hey, it needs to be there. We need to hear Ron Simmons say, ‘DAMN!’ So I get it, that has to be there and it should be there. I just want, when you see Edge come you say, ‘Oh something is going to happen,’ I still want that to be the case.”

“So how can I help put a current talent over? I can’t do it physically, they won’t allow that, and that’s fine. What I can do is tell some kind of story with my promos and somehow further along for instance, with Becky and Charlotte. They told me it was with Becky and Charlotte and I’m like, ‘I’m there, great!. I’d love to be involved.”

“Then I put the thinking cap on and start coming up with ideas. Okay, how does this make sense? How does the character of Edge related to the character Becky and Becky to Edge? There are a lot of similarities, cool. I can take it and run from there and then sit down with Becky and Charlotte and hash it out and have some fun with it. The end result being I’m watching the Evolution pay-per-view because my wife’s doing commentary on it and I see the opening package of the match and I was the only one that spoke during the package of the match. I’m like, good, this is now helped this program. That’s kinda my criteria when I come back.”

Edge is currently busy with a lot of things in life, including being a father, his podcast with Christian and others. We hope to see him in WWE once again someday.
