Edge's return to WWE television was delayed back in late January when his former Rated-RKO tag team partner, Randy Orton, brutally attacked him and knocked him out with a Con-Chair-To. In the weeks that followed Orton was unable to verbalize why he attacked his former friend, and wound up brutally assaulting Matt Hardy several times on his way out of the company. "The Viper" finally gave some answers this week to Edge's wife Beth Phoenix, saying that he loved Edge and wanted him to be home for his family rather than step back inside a WWE ring and possibly get hurt. He called Phoenix and enabler, then knocked her out with an RKO.

Later in the week WWE confirmed Edge would be back on WWE television for the March 9 episode of Monday Night Raw. On Sunday, just as the Elimination Chamber got underway, Edge posted a photo hinting at what might be on the way.

Edge famously retired back in 2011 due to a series of neck injuries he had suffered throughout his career. However he returned to action for the first time in nearly nine years during the Men's Royal Rumble match, making it all the way to the final three. Shortly after his arrival it was reported that the 11-time former world champion had signed a multi-year contract with WWE to wrestle on a part-time basis.
