Edge Discusses Christian’s Rumble Return And Possibility Of Them Teaming Again

Edge Discusses Christian’s Rumble Return And Possibility Of Them Teaming Again

During the men’s Royal Rumble match last Sunday, Christian made a surprise appearance at number 24. The former World Heavyweight Champion hadn’t wrestled for the past seven years due to concussion issues but was recently cleared to return to the ring. The match featured a special moment when he and his longtime tag team partner and childhood friend Edge embraced. Now the Rumble winner, Edge, has revealed in an interview with SportingNews.com he was one of the few people who know Christian had been cleared, and how his reaction in the match was real.

I was one of the few that was privy to the fact that he got cleared a few months ago. We didn’t know he was going to be in the Rumble until Friday, though. I was in the midst of driving down to his house from North Carolina to stay for the weekend. And then we found out, and we’re like, “OK, well, we’ll drive over to the rumble together then.”

We didn’t think we’d ever be back, period. And I think that’s what was going through my mind. Even though I knew it was going to happen, still, to see him walking down there, and for me to have been in the ring by that point for like 35 minutes, I just had to take a second. I’m learning to take these moments to really savor it. And in doing so, I’m pulling in the audience because what they’re seeing from me is real. They are seeing Adam Copeland react to seeing Jason Reso coming down to do something that he was never supposed to do again, while I’m doing something that I’m not supposed to have ever been able to do again. That’s special, and it’s real. So, let it be real. And, hopefully, the audience can feel a sense that this is indeed a genuine moment in the midst of the theatre of the absurd. And that’s when you get special moments in the world of wrestling.Edge

Edge was also asked about the possibility of them partnering again, and while he doesn’t know if it’ll happen, he seems to be very open to the idea.

I have no idea. I truly don’t. Man, that would be fun! Even just in terms of the matchups. There are all these new matches that never seemed could have happened. But think about an Edge and Christian vs. Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins match. Incredible. That was never supposed to happen. That could feasibly happen now. That’s goosebumps stuff.Edge

Edge and Christian held the WWE World Tag Team Championship seven times and last teamed for a series of matches against Alberto Del Rio and Brodus Clay in 2011. Before that, you’d have to go all the way back to 2005. A match with the duo reuniting would likely generate a lot of interest from a nostalgia perspective. The only potential obstacle could be that Edge has a set number of matches in his contract. However, as it seems to be something Edge would love to do, it’s likely something could be worked out.
