Edge Responds To Criticism Over His WWE Royal Rumble Win

Edge recently returned to in ring competition when he entered the 2021 men’s Royal Rumble match at number one and walked away with the victory.

The Hall of Famer is now heading to WrestleMania to challenge for the title of his choice, but there are some people out there who weren’t thrilled about the fact that WWE let a 47 year old wrestler win the Royal Rumble.

Edge recently spoke with Corey Graves on After The Bell and he made it clear that he’s only focused on the things he can control.

“All I can control is trying to be in the best shape I can possibly be in. Bust my ass in the gym so that at least I can look the part, move the part, feel the part and that’s all I can control. I can’t control people’s opinions, I can’t control if people have ageism issues. What I want to do is come back and tell how the story [is told] and tell it with multiple dance partners. If those dance partners can take something from it, that’s my goal.”

The Royal Rumble winner has yet to confirm which champion he will face at WrestleMania, but he praised all three of the current champions.

“It’s an embarrassment of riches. I look at the champions and think oh my god, oh what I could tell with Drew, oh what I could tell with Balor, oh what I could with Reigns. It’s really exciting. I look at all 3 of those talents and I love what they’re doing. I love the level they’re on and I love the cylinders they are firing on all in different ways.”
