Edge made his massive return to television on WWE SmackDown: June 25th, 2021! He appeared in the arena when Roman Reigns was in the middle of a celebration.
Roman Reigns was celebrating his victory over Rey Mysterio at Hell in a Cell 2021. It was given that someone would interrupt this segment since WWE books such celebration or contract signing segments for chaos.
The common assumption was Rey and Dominik Mysterio would interrupt the segment, but no! It was The Rated-R Superstar.

Roman Reigns had flattened Edge at WrestleMania 37
Earlier, when Edge returned to WWE, he was booked in a feud with Roman Reigns. However, prior to that booking, Edge won the Royal Rumble Men’s Match, which earned him the opportunity to challenge any champion of his choice at WrestleMania 37.
For weeks, he pondered over the decision. Finally, he challenged Universal Champion Roman Reigns.
Now, during the same time, Reigns had beef with Daniel Bryan. Therefore, the company turned the WrestleMania 37 main event between Reigns and the Rated-R Superstar into a triple threat match.
The Tribal Chief put Bryan and Edge on top of one another and emerged victorious with a double pinfall victory.
