5 wrestling rumors we hope are true and 5 we hope aren't: SmackDown star may be out for a year, backstage tension between McMahon & Heyman?

#2 Hope is true: Another twist in the Edge return saga

Has Edge been cleared for an in-ring return?

The rumors have been rampant lately about Edge being cleared for an in-ring return. Based on experience, when rumors circulate this heavily, there's usually a large aspect of truth to it. Yes, we're aware that Edge denied it in a tweet, but what would you expect him to do? Spoil his return?

There have been multiple sources, ranging from WON to PWInsider to Front Row Brian and more. Fightful has now joined that list in providing a small update on Edge being cleared to return. They said:

This week, Front Row Brian reported that Edge has gained clearance to work in the ring and a return was set. Despite Edge posting a tweet denying the news, there was speculation, bordering on confirmation backstage at SmackDown last night that Edge had indeed been cleared. We haven't heard of any plans or if a return was set.

We hope this is true because it would be exciting to see Edge back. If he is cleared for an in-ring return, we hope it's on a part-time basis similar to what The Undertaker used to do at WrestleMania. This could be incredible!
