Edge has had a “crazy” 2021.
While the world continued to grapple with the countless challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, “The Rated-R Superstar” also had a wild year in his wrestling career. He added to his legendary career in 2021 by winning his second Royal Rumble and subsequently main-eventing WWE WrestleMania 37. He also enjoyed a storybook reunion with his former tag team partner, Christian; both men were forced to retire due to injuries, but they made miraculous returns in consecutive years. The emotional moment when they embraced during Christian’s comeback in 2021 was one of the best highlights of the year for many fans.
Plus, “The Ultimate Opportunist” had a well-received trilogy of matches with Seth Rollins; the trilogy culminated in a heated Hell in a Cell Match at WWE Crown Jewel.
In a post on Instagram, Edge reflected on his eventful year and shared his excitement for the future.
The full message is as follows:
Been a crazy year. Watching my girls makes leaps and bounds. Pandemics. Ya know the norm. But I lost track of everything that’s happened professionally this year. Until Beth reminded me why I’m a little tired. And a lot sore. It’s been kinda insane. And awesome. It might be my favorite year of my career. From The Royal Rumble and a reunion Jay and I both thought was off the table for good. Yet there we were. Getting our dreams back. To winnin the damn thing from #1 after 7 months off rehabbing a torn triceps. 11 years to the day from winning it the first time and joining some elite names. Main eventing WrestleMania 10 years to the day from my retirement against two all time talents in Roman and Bryan. And then there’s the Rollins/Edge trilogy. Those three matches will hold a very dear place in my wrestling heart when it’s all said and done and I’m whistling on the deck with a cup o joe(or whiskey). So now what? Keep it up. Try to keep up with today’s best. For as long as I can. C’mon 2022 let’s do this.
The WWE Hall of Famer will ring in the new year in style by facing The Miz at WWE Day 1 on New Year’s Day.
