Some of these Superstars deserve applause for their performance at WWE Royal Rumble

#2 Impressed at WWE Royal Rumble: Edge

Edge is a fighter and he proved that tonight

Edge picked up an impressive victory at WWE Royal Rumble 2021 tonight as he became the third Superstar to win the match after entering at No. 1. He delivered a resilient performance inside the squared circle and fought with almost everyone who spent at least more than two minutes inside the ring.

From Randy Orton to Braun Strowman, Edge went toe-to-toe against all his opponents. He even worked hard to put over younger Superstars like Mustafa Ali, Damian Priest, and Riddle during WWE Royal Rumble's main event. In the end, he was the last one left along with Randy Orton, and The Rated-R Superstar had his eyes set on the prize.

He ended up eliminating Orton to win his second WWE Royal Rumble after exactly eleven years since his first victory in the said bout. The only flaw in his entire run on tonight’s pay-per-view was that WWE had already told us that he was coming back.

Nonetheless, Edge delivered an impressive performance, and it remains to be seen which world champion he will challenge following his victory at WWE Royal Rumble. More than anything, he deserves to be acknowledged for his dedication towards the craft that allowed him to script his comeback.
