Rumor Has It That Edge Is Returning to the Wwe and Fans Are Stoked

Read in-depth coverage surrounding Rumor Has It That Edge Is Returning to the Wwe and Fans Are Stoked.

He was only 37 years old when he quit the WWE, and the 45-year-old definitely looks like he's in good enough shape to make a permanent comeback — that spear he hit on Elias was nothing short of perfect.

And while fans would be happy to see him back in the fold, a return from the Superstar doesn't look like it's going to happen.

Edge is able to live with his neck injury, however, performing in the WWE on a regular basis probably isn't the best idea for the former sports entertainment star.

He currently runs a successful podcast with tag-team partner Christian, and has enough acting credits to keep him busy and paid and they don't require the same kind of physical punishment that superstars sustain while wrestling under the WWE banner.

He had recurring roles in both Vikings and Haven, and was even featured in an episode of CW's The Flash, so he's made a pretty awesome career in entertainment outside of wrestling.

Edge's tenure in the WWE is an impressive one.

He's held 31 different championship belts while wrestling for the organization, including a record 7 World Heavyweight Championship belts, 4 WWE Championships, 5 Intercontinental Championships, the United States Championship, the WWF World Tag Team Championship 12 times, and the WWE Tag Team Championship two times. 

He won the King of the Ring back in 2001, the Royal Rumble in 2010, was the 14th Triple Crown Champion, and was the first-ever Money in the Bank ladder match winner in 2005.

As a headlining act, Edge was counted on by the organization multiple times and his tenure in the organization solidified his spot in the WWE hall of fame. He was inducted by Christian (very fitting) in 2012, and was one of the WWE's longest-employed wrestlers: he was with the organization from 1996 until 2011. Which makes him not only a company man, but one tough SOB.

So while Edge probably won't be wrestling full or even part-time for the WWE ever again, he's got tons of moments, like those in that gorgeous highlight reel above, that fans can turn to whenever they want to see him work his magic in the ring again.
