#1. Hope is true: Edge's incredible WWE deal

Edge returning to WWE has led to many old and new eyes on the product. While us, the dedicated fanbase would have been on the loop about his rumored return, many casual fans were clueless, which would have made it extra special for them to see the legend return to action.

He would be eliminated second last in the match by Roman Reigns. One night later, he returned to RAW and seemingly confirmed that he's back in the fray. Before the Royal Rumble 2020, PWInsider briefly mentioned that Edge had signed a good contract with a big upside to it.

Sportskeeda and Talk Sport's Alex McCarthy seemingly confirmed this, reporting that Edge had signed a 3-year contract of 9 million dollars - meaning that he'll earn 3 million dollars a year for his part-time appearances.

We hope this is true because he deserves that kind of a deal. He won't be performing full-time but even if he wrestles solely on Big 4 PPVs, we're fine with that. Nobody expected him back in such a capacity, to begin with.
