6 wrestling rumors we hope are true and 6 we hope aren't: 3-time World Champion possibly retiring at WrestleMania 36, Returning star expected to eliminate Lesnar at Royal Rumble

#1. Hope is true: Edge's Royal Rumble status

Could it be?

This is the one you were probably waiting for while reading this list. We discuss the rumblings about Edge's rumored in-ring return.

The first of two sources is from PWInsider, who claim that The Rated-R Superstar has signed a new deal with the company (H/T WrestlingNews):

“We’ve been told that Edge signed a new deal. We’ve been told that it has a very nice upside to it financially and you have to think it’s not just a legends deal where they just have him show up and have him do promos. So, I think there’s more smoke to the fire with Edge than there is with Paige as we record this.”

The second report is from Bill Pritchard of WrestleZone, who confirmed previous reports that Edge will be returning at the Royal Rumble 2020 (H/T WrestlingNewsSource):

A source speaking with Wrestlezone recently said Edge will make his in-ring return, and we can expect to see him as an entrant in the 2020 Men’s Royal Rumble match."

We hope this is true. Edge returning would be a huge moment and one of the biggest stories to start the decade.
