Technically, Edge retired while he was at the top of his game. Following his injury-induced retirement in 2011, the Rated-R Superstar and Hall of Famer had to give up the World Heavyweight Championship. More than a decade later, Edge is back in the WWE and so is the same title belt that he never lost to another wrestler. Now, he wants a shot at the said title.
Edge made a surprising return to the WWE in 2020 and he's been a part of the main event scene ever since. But, while he's constantly been at the forefront of the WWE, he hasn't really been in the hunt for gold - until now.
According to Edge, Cody Rhodes' constant mention of his story made him remember his own story, saying: "The introduction of the WWE Heavyweight Championship, if I look at that thing, it even looks like the title I never lost. Before his retirement in 2011, Edge had held the World Heavyweight Championship seven times - the most in WWE history.
Twice during his recent return to the WWE saw Edge get a chance to go for gold but he missed the mark both times. But, a new opportunity has arisen for the Rated-R Superstar with the re-introduction of the World Heavyweight Championship belt.
