At the same event, WWE Hall of Famer Edge returned to the ring after nine years and got a huge pop from the WWE Universe. During the interview, Drew McIntyre stated that he was feared worried about the Edge’s return and fans would turn over him. He also thanked Roman Reigns for eliminating Edge and all heat from fans went towards him.
“There was a lot going on at that time, for sure… But the Rumble itself, finding out, one, I’m taking out Brock Lesnar, and the structure of the match, he’s going to be the absolute beast and that I’m going to be the one to take the beast down, was absolutely unbelievable. But to actually be winning it, on top of that? And then you find out that Edge is coming out towards the end as well. Oh… No negative thoughts crossed my mind until it was time for Edge.” Explained McIntyre.
“I was in the corner with AJ Styles, he was choking me and I made sure I had a clear view of the entrance way… I heard the reaction and I went “Oh, I’m so happy for him! What a guy… Wait a minute?! The people might turn on me, we’ve seen this happen before!” That’s what crossed my mind at that exact moment. He made his entrance and we got towards the end. It was Roman and Edge. And Roman did me a solid, by the way, being the one who took out Edge towards the end. I heard the boos and I said “Screw this, let’s just keep powering through”… That could have gone bad, but it went well.”
While Edge failed to win 2020 Royal Rumble match but he successful at winning this year’s Rumble match and challenged Roman Reigns for Universal Title. However, Edge was unsuccessful to dethrone the Roman Reigns as Universal Champion. From then, Edge wasn’t seen on WWE TV.
