Edge had to retire at the peak of his career due to unfortunate injuries. He would return at SummerSlam, on the Kickoff show, to take Elias out with a brutal looking spear. It was a great moment for the fans in attendance because Edge is a true Canadian icon.
I'm just a little surprised that the surprise appearance happened on the Kickoff show and not the main show because I know that a lot of WWE fans choose to skip it. I get the rationale behind it, having Edge on the Kickoff would get people to subscribe to the Network.
