10 Most Shocking Revelations From WWE In 2020

10. Edge Is Cleared To Wrestle

But first, something nice!

Edge's Royal Rumble 2020 return was suggested and disputed in equal measure the year prior thanks to reports from Dave Meltzer at the Wrestling Observer and tweets from Edge himself. The former had strong source while the latter was just looking to keep the dream alive, and there wasn't much wrong with either's approach.

A wicked Spear to Elias on the SummerSlam 2019 pre-show looked to be an excuse for him to test himself and the pre-Rumble speculation didn't remotely devalue the size of the pop when he was revealed as entrant 21 in the annual battle royal.

While you'll miss his first f*cking Spear back as a wrestler if you watch the pay-per-view because WWE, it's hard not to get emotional watching Network documentary cameras catch the whole thing, not least because of how the year turned out for everybody, including the 'Rated-R Superstar', after the fact. This was an earnestly brilliant fantasy booking-adjacent surprise from a company looking increasingly like they had none of them left.

Edge left for real. And rehabiltated himself and returned, for real. There's a lot to be said all of that reality trumping WWE's warped fiction, too...
