10 Things We Never Thought We’d See In A WWE Ring (But Somehow Did)

The news of Daniel Bryan miraculously recovering from his career-ending injury in 2018 planted a seed in some fan's heads.

Did this mean that anyone who had been unfortunately forced to retire due to medical reasons could find a way to come back to the world of bumps and glory?

Very quickly Edge rightfully shot down those who questioned whether or not he could follow in Bryan's footsteps that year, by saying, 'I will never be cleared. Mine is a completely different injury. He had neck issues, but it wasn’t neck issues that retired him initially, it was the concussion issues.'

So there you had it. Edge wasn't wrestling in a WWE ring ever again.

Until he did.

By the time he showed up at the 2020 Royal Rumble event it was undoubtedly one of the worst kept secrets in pro wrestling, but it still felt unreal. How had he been able to conquer an injury which threatened to paralyse him from the neck down if he took a bad bump?

'The Rated 'R' Superstar' underwent triple-fusion neck surgery in his time away from wrestling and, after taking a tumble on a bike ride with Sheamus, he soon realised that a wrestling return could be on the cards...if he could be medically cleared and take the odd trip to Columbia.

He was and this all led to one of the most unlikely comebacks in all of wrestling history becoming a reality.
