Edge discussed winning this year’s men’s Royal Rumble match to earn the right to challenge for any title that he wants at WrestleMania in a recent interview on 31 Thoughts.
Here is what he had to say:
“I truly do feel like I’m one of the lucky few that found what it is that he was supposed to do, and I don’t look past that. The odds are astronomical that you find that thing that you know you were meant to do. This is all I ever wanted to do. There was no anything else……to have it taken away, to fight to get it back, and then to get injured in my third match back, a lot of people probably went, ‘You’re done, dude. You’ve gotta stop.’ But that never entered into my brain. I got this thing back, and I’ve gotta see it through now. Not only that, but I feel like I can tell better stories now. That is so exciting to me is sinking my teeth into this whole new era of talent. If I can in any way help them along their path the way I was helped along by Rick Martel, Bad News Brown, Leo Burke, Bret Hart, and all these guys that imparted so much wisdom to me and helped me so much – if I can in any way pay that back, that’s extremely exciting. I want to come back and make a difference, and I think the Rumble was a little bit of that validation like, ‘Yeah, I can be in here an hour at 47 years old.’ I don’t know how I’m doing it sometimes, but I love it.”
