10 Real-life WWE stories we learned this week: 2-time Champion set to return, Hall of Famer takes shot at Roman Reigns

#6 AJ Styles wants to face Edge in WWE

Although AJ Styles briefly shared the ring with Edge in the 2020 WWE Royal Rumble, the two men have never gone one-on-one in an official match.

Styles, 43, said on his Twitch channel this week that he “badly” wants to face Edge, 46, in WWE before both men retire from in-ring competition.

Their spot in the Royal Rumble saw Styles oversell one of Edge’s spears, causing The Phenomenal One to land awkwardly on his shoulder. Fortunately, he only had to miss one month of in-ring action, which meant he returned in time for WWE Super ShowDown and WWE WrestleMania 36.

#5 The story behind Kofi Kingston’s Royal Rumble saves

While he has never been able to win a Royal Rumble, Kofi Kingston always entertains WWE fans by finding a creative way to prevent himself from being eliminated, such as when he walked on his hands at ringside to stop his feet from touching the floor.

Speaking on the Table Talk podcast, the New Day member revealed that he got the idea to avoid elimination from the Royal Rumble from John Morrison, who clung on to the barricade in 2011 before leaping over to the steel steps.

Kingston said he volunteered to perform that spot in the Rumble every year following Morrison’s departure from WWE in November 2011.
