Edge Announces WWE Royal Rumble Ring Return

WWE Hall of Famer Edge will be making his ring return at the upcoming Royal Rumble pay-per-view.

Last night’s Rumble go-home edition of RAW saw Edge deliver a pre-recorded promo where he announced that he will be returning to action in the 30-Man Royal Rumble Match next Sunday.

There are now 14 open spots for the 30-Man Royal Rumble Match. Edge joins Daniel Bryan, WWE United States Champion Bobby Lashley, AJ Styles, Randy Orton, Otis, The Miz, Jey Uso, Cesaro, Jeff Hardy, Shinsuke Nakamura, Sami Zayn, SmackDown Tag Team Champion Dolph Ziggler, WWE Intercontinental Champion Big E, Sheamus, and John Morrison as confirmed entrants.

The Rated R Superstar has been out of action since suffering a torn triceps during the loss to Randy Orton at the 2020 WWE Backlash pay-per-view last June. Edge came out of retirement at the 2020 Royal Rumble, and then made his in-ring return to singles action at WrestleMania 36, where he defeated Orton in a Last Man Standing match.

The 2021 Royal Rumble pay-per-view will take place on January 31 from Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, FL

Goldberg Issued Challenge To WWE Champion Drew McIntyre On RAW For Title Match At Royal Rumble

Goldberg has his sights set on the gold, and he made his intentions clear during a tense confrontation with WWE Champion Drew McIntyre.

It all went down on this week’s edition of Raw immediately following the main event between Keith Lee and Drew McIntyre.

Monday night was a special one. It was “Legends Night” after all, and there were plenty of legends on the show, including Hulk Hogan, Mark Henry, Big Show, I.R.S., Mickie James, Torie Wilson and others. But there was one legend who waited until the closing moments of the show to make his presence known.

After McIntyre’s hard fought victory over a valiant Keith Lee, Goldberg claimed that McIntyre doesn’t have any respect for legends. He then demanded a title match with McIntyre at the upcoming Royal Rumble event. Drew’s response was less than enthusiastic.

“Fighting you would be like fighting my own dad,” the champ said … and then things got out of hand.

The WWE Hall of Famer shoved McIntyre to the ground. Drew got back on his feet and the pair squared off as the show went off the air.

Check out the tense confrontation below.

AJ Styles Injured At The Royal Rumble

It appeared that AJ Styles exit from the Royal Rumble match seemed to occur earlier than planned and now we’ve learned it was due to injury.

The Wrestling Observer reports Styles suffered a shoulder separation during the Royal Rumble match on Sunday.

In case you missed it, WWE Hall of Famer Edge made his shocking return to the company in the match and landed a flurry of spears on everyone in the ring. The injury to Styles appeared to occur while he was on the receiving end of a spear moments later.

The severity of AJ’s shoulder injury is unclear at this time.

Styles will be undergoing testing to determine the severity of the injury as soon as possible, perhaps at RAW today.

WWE Hall Of Famer Edge Returned To The Ring At The Royal Rumble

After the rumors of a in-ring return for WWE Hall of Famer Edge and his denials, Edge returned to the ring last night in the men’s Royal rumble match.

The Rated R Superstar entered the 30-Man Rumble Match main event at #21 and ended up being the 28th elimination, by Roman Reigns.

There’s no word yet on what WWE has planned for Edge, but @Wrestlevotes reports that he recently signed a three-year WWE contract that is said to be worth significant money.

This hasn’t been confirmed but there is now fan speculation on Rated RKO doing battle at WrestleMania 36 after Edge and former partner Randy Orton turned on each other during the Rumble Match after teaming up.

Pro Wrestling Sheet has confirmed prior to re-signing with WWE to return to the ring, Edge had contract talks with AEW.

WrestleZone first reported on the talks between Edge and AEW. Sources close to the situation confirm Edge began discussions with both AEW and WWE in August after making it known on his podcast that he could wrestle another match.

During talks, AEW made a serious offer for Edge aka Adam Copeland to work behind the scenes as an agent or producer – as well as wrestle a handful of matches.

As we finally saw last night though, Copeland decided to return to WWE.

According to Pro Wrestling Sheet, Edge’s new WWE multi-year contract calls for him to take part in a few matches a year and a number of appearances on WWE TV. It’s unclear which brand he’ll end up on at this time, but he’s rumored to be facing a Raw opponent (Randy Orton) at WrestleMania 36.

WWE Announces 2020 Royal Rumble Taking Place At Minute Maid Park In Houston

After successfully running Phoenix, AZ’s Chase Field this year – staggeringly selling over 5000 more tickets than the arena was configured for, if official figures are to be believed – WWE will be returning the Royal Rumble to a baseball stadium for next year’s event.

WWE announced via the Houston Chronicle  and during last night’s Elimination Chamber pay-per-view that Royal Rumble 2020 will take place at the city’s 41,168 capacity Minute Maid Park, current home of the Houston Astros, on 26 January.

WWE Executive Vice President of Special Events John Sabor commented:

“We had a wonderful experience at Chase Field, and that underscored our excitement with the decision to place the 2020 Royal Rumble at Minute Maid Park,” said Saboor, the company’s executive vice president of special events.

“We want to expose the WWE brand and its events to as many people as possible, and the size of facilities in which we present our major events is a key catalyst.”

Apparently, discussions to bring the Rumble back to Houston for the first time since 1989 began last summer. The event twenty years ago, won by Big John Studd, was held at The Summit. Today, the venue is used as a megachurch.

Fans at Sunday’s Elimination Chamber at Houston’s Toyota Center, had the opportunity to sign up for a Royal Rumble 2020 pre-sale.
