It would not be wrong to call the Royal Rumble the most interesting event in the WWE events, because the main match between the 30 wrestlers is of interest to those who do not like the game much.
This year, WWE’s first major event of the year ended with a victory in a wrestler’s Royal Rumble match, which no one could have imagined.
Fans have been waiting impatiently for days to see the 30-man Royal Rumble, and Daniel Bryan was considered a favorite to win, but the race was won by an unexpected wrestler.
In fact, the wrestler had been away from the WWE for some time due to medical issues and returned several years later in 2020, but then had to distance himself from the ring after being injured.
But in the Royal Rumble competition, that wrestler came first and won the competition till the end and that was Edge.
Edge, known as the Rated R Superstar, won the Royal Rumble for the second time in his career, which was a surprise.
In the St. Petersburg event, Edge stayed in the ring for 58 minutes and 28 seconds, knocking out second-ranked Randy Orton and winning a championship ticket at WrestleMania 37.

Randy Orton also used his special RKO to attack but Edge still managed to win.
Edge, 47, returned from injury and spent most of the match lying on the corner or in the ring.
Edge retired from wrestling on medical grounds in 2011 and returned to the Royal Rumble last year.
It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post.
On the other hand, the women’s Royal Rumble competition was won by Banka Blair who came third in the ring and lasted for about 57 minutes.
In the event, Drew McIntyre successfully defended his own championship by defeating Bill Goldberg while Roman Reigns defeated Kevin Owens.
