WWE Rumor Roundup: Major change to compete with AEW, Edge's return not allowed, and more - 17 August, 2019

#5 Edge return

Edge at SummerSlam

In E&C's Pod of Awesomeness, Edge revealed that he could return to wrestle a match now, but that WWE's medical staff would not allow him to wrestle.

"I know where I’m at and I’ve seen my neck guys down here and they’ve told me the do’s and don’ts and I’m not in the midst of being told I have to retire, you know? So, I’m much more emotionally aware and hearing everything and going ‘okay, what my limitations are going forward?’ And hitting the Spear is not one of them.

"To be perfectly honest, I think I could do a match tomorrow. I might be blown up but I’d be okay. It’s just from what I know with the WWE medical staff, they won’t allow. It is what it is, right?" (H/T Cageside Seats)

Edge recently appeared at SummerSlam where he speared Elias during a segment on the pre-show.
