By the time SummerSlam 2019 rolled around, Edge was all-but-cleared to do something physical.

WWE asked him to drop in for a spot with Elias on the pay-per-view, and the Canadian was delighted to do so; the show was in Toronto, a place where Edge had serious history, and he knew he'd have the chance to test out his ever-strengthening body. Beth Phoenix, meanwhile, was none the wiser to her hubby's plans.

He told her that he'd only be cutting a short promo on the card and then strolling to the back. That, as it turned out, was a bit of a lie. Instead of talking, Edge blasted Elias with a trademark Spear and sent the Scotiabank Arena crowd into a frenzy.

When he returned backstage, Edge got a friendly pat on the ass from Vince McMahon and was torched by Beth for risking his body. She wasn't totally convinced that he'd be able to wrestle again, and she couldn't believe that she'd been kept in the dark.
