Both Vince McMahon and Triple H have expressed interest in bringing Edge back as a regular character on WWE television.
McMahon feels that “The Rated-R Superstar,” who played in a big part in the success of SmackDown, is one of the most underappreciated Superstars in WWE history. Edge won’t be returning to the ring or ever bumping again, but there is clear interest from both higher-ups in his character being renewed. This of course would hinge on how Edge feels about returning to WWE. Since being forced into retirement in 2011, he has expressed no interest in returning as a non-wrestling personality on a regular basis.
During an interview with AlternativeNation.net last November, Edge was asked whether he could envision himself returning to WWE as an announcer or General Manager type of character.
“Probably not,” he responded. “I kind of closed that chapter when it got closed on me due to injury. Hereโs the thing Iโve always said, is if I canโt get in the ring, I donโt want to be close to the ring and not get in, because thatโs the fun part. For me, the performance was always the fun aspect of it. Sitting back and watching and talking about it, I just donโt know how fun that would be for me. Itโs great for some people, I just donโt know if thatโs for me. I mean who knows, but at this point in my life I donโt foresee it.”
