Edge Claims He Is Now A Full-Timer For WWE
The latest on Edge's new WWE schedule, as NXT and SmackDown appearances await this week.
Edge claims that he will be working a full-time WWE schedule going forward.
The 2021 men's Royal Rumble winner was interviewed by CBS Sports yesterday, telling the outlet that he didn't come back "just to do a greatest hits tour" and that he won't be a part-timer after last week's return.
Here's what he had to say:-
"That's not why I came back. 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."
'The Rated R Superstar' added that he doesn't "just want to be another body":-
"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 returned from injury at Sunday's Royal Rumble 2021 pay-per-view, having spent eight months sidelined with a torn triceps. He won the titular men's bout after entering first, eliminating rival Randy Orton last, and is now being linked to a Universal Title match with Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 37.
As reported last night, Edge will appear on tonight's episode of NXT. He was already scheduled for this week's SmackDown.
