Pop: Edge Returns – Royal Rumble 2020

Context

Edge returns at the 2020 Royal Rumble after being forced to retire due to a neck injury nine years prior. After being medically cleared he was able to return to an almighty pop from the crowd who couldn’t believe it when his music hit. The fact that Edge was able to return at the event with no spoilers leaked led to one of the best crowd reactions of all time. Edge emerged from the smoke looking visibly overwhelmed by the fans reaction and the enormity of the occasion. WWE and Edge played this perfectly as he started off the second chance he had been given. One of the loudest and most emotional pops of all time.
