No moment in the 2020 Men’s Royal Rumble Match was more shocking than the return of Edge.

Minute Maid Park came unglued Sunday night with the arrival of The Rated-R Superstar, who entered at No. 21 for his first in-ring competition since his retirement in 2011.

And Edge wasn’t satisfied with merely making an appearance. The Ultimate Opportunist tied for the match’s third-most eliminations, tossing AJ Styles, Luke Gallows and former Rated-RKO teammate Randy Orton.

A former Royal Rumble Match winner (2010), Edge lasted for 23:43 before finally being knocked out by Roman Reigns. But by then, he had given the WWE Universe and his peers a moment they’ll never forget.

Coolest thing ever. Gives people hope! https://t.co/fDb2M76nYj

Without Edge, there is no me.

He gave me his time when he didn’t have to.

He gave me advice when he didn’t have to.

He gave me a friend when he didn’t have to.

He gave me a place to live when he didn’t have to.

I owe him everything. Tonight made me happy.
