The Royal Rumble gives WrestleMania an Edge, as he was both the number one entrant and the top choice the WWE had to be the last man standing and headline its biggest event.
And I don’t believe either die-hards or casual fans can be upset that he got the win. For one, the WWE has a marquee card to sell and a new partnership with Peacock, so someone with name recognition made sense.
While at the same time, though they went with the returning older star, it’s not like Edge is back with no purpose.
