Backstage reports surfaced over the last few months indicating Edge signed a new deal with the WWE and was looking to make an in-ring return.
This past week, PWInsider indicated they would be surprised if Edge was not back on WWE television within the week, this report ended up confirmed with Edge’s entry in tonight’s Royal Rumble match.
