#3.) Edge – Royal Rumble 2010
Edge was supposed to be out for a year with a torn Achilles tendon. He returned in six months. Following his injury, Jericho, his tag team partner mocked him incessantly. When Edge walked out as a surprise entry at #29 he automatically turned babyface. That was no reaction a heel would receive and his turn was seemingly cemented after he instantly speared Jericho and threw him out.
Edge was a part of arguably the greatest final four in the history of the Royal Rumble, including himself, John Cena, Batista and Shawn Michaels. The Rated-R Superstar would go on to eliminate Cena at the end, winning the Rumble for the first time in his career. It was simply another accolade for Edge, further validating the claim he made – “Done it all, won it all”.
