#3 Edge takes the WWE NXT ring by storm

2021 Royal Rumble winner Edge wanted to head over to WWE NXT this week, just days after winning the Rumble match and defeating Randy Orton on RAW. He was scheduled for the show, but Pete Dunne wanted to call out Finn Balor first.

Dunne has failed to earn an opportunity to challenge the NXT Champion, but he refuses to give up the chase for the title. Balor did not make The Bruiserweight wait long and appeared in the ring to staredown his future challenger.

The Prince of NXT did not shy away and accepted Dunne’s challenge to a match at TakeOver: Vengeance Day. Once the two men were done, Edge made his first appearance in NXT.

Edge spoke highly of the Black and Gold brand and the two men in the ring, and teased using his WrestleMania opportunity to challenge the Champion Balor. The Rated-R Superstar said he would keep a close eye on both men’s match at TakeOver before ending the segment.

The show needed to make an impact with Edge’s arrival, and that’s exactly what the creatives managed to do. Balor vs Dunne is finally confirmed for TakeOver: Vengeance Day, even though The Bruiserweight hasn’t done much of note since his return.

Edge was later confronted by Karrion Kross, and WWE did well to tease some tension between the two men for a possible future contest.
