The Rated-R Superstar is back in the ring after a nine-year absence but there are more questions than answers in the aftermath of the return.

How often will we see the 11-time WWE Champion on TV?

PWinsider released a lot of details about Edge's return after Royal Rumble.

Edge signed a new deal with the company months ago when he was cleared to wrestle again, which was also when he had talks with All Elite Wrestling. WrestleVotes stated that the WWE Hall of Famer has signed a 3-year contract worth a lot of money.

Mike Johnson of PWInsider added that Edge denied being cleared to keep his Royal Rumble return a secret. The WWE Legend was flown to Houston in a private jet on the morning of the show and was kept away from everyone for obvious reasons.

Going forward, Edge will be used as a special attraction and he will not be wrestling every week. He is expected to be used like Brock Lesnar, who works limited dates against selected opponents.

The 46-year-old's return to the ring was welcomed with a massive pop and he did admirably well during his time in the match. He may not have won the match but he gave us all a good account of what he's capable of at this stage in his career.
