Edge made his massive return to television on WWE SmackDown: June 25th, 2021! He appeared in the arena when Roman Reigns was in the middle of a celebration.

Roman Reigns was celebrating his victory over Rey Mysterio at Hell in a Cell 2021. It was given that someone would interrupt this segment since WWE books such celebration or contract signing segments for chaos.

The common assumption was Rey and Dominik Mysterio would interrupt the segment, but no! It was The Rated-R Superstar.
