• Edge Turns Down Reports Of In-Ring Return, Reacts To Kofi Kingston’s WWE Title Loss

As we noted earlier, Fight Oracle reported that WWE Hall of Famer Edge has been cleared by the doctors to make a return to in-ring action and he’s expected to make a comeback soon.

▶️BREAKING▶️ Edge AKA @EdgeRatedR has been medically cleared to turn to in ring competition for @WWE. No word currently on when he will wrestle but he’s medically cleared and under contract with WWE.

If you recall, Edge had talked about wanting to wrestle again but couldn’t get medical clearance. Until now.

However, it looks like that’s not the case. Edge turned down these rumors by tweeting the following:

No I’m not and no I’m not.

Edge’s last match took place back in 2011 at WrestleMania 27, where he defeated Alberto Del Rio to retain the World Heavyweight Championship. Edge retired as the World Champion.

Edge last appeared in WWE on the SummerSlam 2019 Kickoff Show, where he speared Elias. This was the first time Edge did something physical in a WWE ring since his retirement.
