The Moment: During a mountain biking session with Sheamus (one geared around filming footage for the Irishman's 'Celtic Warrior Workouts' on YouTube), Edge fell off his ride and landed hard on the ground. When he was dusting himself off, the Canadian had an epiphany. He'd just bumped, and he felt fine.

If his body could handle that stress, maybe it could handle another match?

The Return: It could. On his tear-jerking WWE 24 special, Edge revealed that doctors invited him for a checkup and confirmed he was healthier than he'd been for years. The neck injuries that had forced him from the ring in 2011 would never heal permanently, but they were willing to medically clear him if he wanted.

You're damn right Edge wanted that. His Royal Rumble 2020 return will go down in WWE annals as one of the best ever, and it was clear to see that the 'Rated-R Superstar' was feeling the power of his big moment as he rampaged through the curtain in Houston.

Try not to cry. Just try it.
