WWE Hall of Famer Edge is this year's recipient of the Slammy Award for "Return of the Year", for his return to WWE at the 2020 Royal Rumble PPV. WWE on FOX posted about the same on its official Twitter handle, and the tweet garnered a response from Edge's wife and fellow Hall of Famer, Beth Phoenix.
Phoenix stated that good things happen to good people who work hard towards their goals. Check out her full tweet HERE.
Edge's WWE return was something fans hadn't expected in their wildest dreams
Edge retired from WWE a week after WrestleMania 27 in 2011 where he defeated Alberto Del Rio to retain his World title. Edge revealed that his neck injury had gotten worse and he was in a condition where continuing in the ring would probably lead to a disaster. He remained out of action for nine long years.

During the 2020 Royal Rumble match, the sea of fans erupted in unison when Edge made his big return to WWE, and his eyes told the whole story. Edge went on to have a strong showing in the match, and came very close to winning the whole thing.
Edge then had a months-long rivalry with Randy Orton, with his final match taking place at Backlash 2020. Edge suffered an injury during the match, and is currently out of action.

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.
Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.
He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.
Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.
When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
