The WWE veteran Edge triumphed in the 2021 Royal Rumble battle at the ThunderDome inside Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, adding yet another magnificent chapter to his already spectacular comeback. On the WWE Backstage special on Saturday night, Edge was revealed as the number two competitor; however, the Rumble was once again changed so that Edge would begin as the top contender. 

Edge won Royal Rumble by defeating Randy Orton

The winner of Royal Rumble, Edge, reminisced about the time his closest buddy Christian unexpectedly returned to the ring at Royal Rumble 2021. Christian hadn't competed in a legitimate bout since 2014, except for an unofficial segment on Raw in June 2020. After initially retiring due to an injury, Christian unexpectedly came back for the Royal Rumble bout in 2021. Randy Orton, aka "The Viper," was the last opponent Edge defeated. Orton faked a knee injury backstage for much of the bout before making a comeback at the finish. 

Edge participated in a backstage interview following the game. In the interview, Edge mentioned Christian coming back. According to Edge, the experience was conceivable during the Royal Rumble but would not have been viable in Hollywood. Edge said, "I'll enjoy the moment instead of thinking too much about it," as he concluded.
