Edge Denies Talk Of WWE Return
"Still not and still not."
Despite recent reports that Edge was set to return to in-ring action, The Rated R Superstar has yet again taken to social media to deny such claims.
Straight from the multiple-time World Champion himself, Edge wrote:
This follows on from reports earlier this week that Edge had signed a new deal with WWE that would see him step between the ropes and make an in-ring return. Going further than that, these same reports claimed that the Canadian could be back in action as early as next month’s Royal Rumble PPV, and that he’d already been earmarked for a match at WrestleMania 36.
Edge – real name Adam Copeland – officially retired on the April 11th, 2011 edition of Monday Night Raw. Citing neck issues and spinal stenosis as the reason for this enforced retirement, the Hall of Famer’s last match came at the prior night’s WrestleMania XXVII where he retained the World Heavyweight Championship against Alberto Del Rio.
Since then, Edge has made sporadic appearances on WWE television and co-hosted The Edge & Christian Show on the WWE Network. For those fans hoping to someday see Edge wrestle again, him hitting a Spear on Elias at SummerSlam this past August certainly caught the attention.
How this plays out, we’ll have to wait and see. As the saying goes, where there’s smoke, there’s fire. So here’s hoping that Edge gets to put on the tights again at some point in the future.
