Edge was a member of the RAW roster when he first returned to WWE in 2020, and he feuded with Randy Orton for the first several months of the year.
After an injury put “The Rated R Superstar” on the shelf, he returned in the 2021 WWE Royal Rumble. He then joined the SmackDown roster, and he has been feuding with top stars like Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins on the blue brand.

The first round featured another major development, as it split up the New Day for the second year in a row. After WWE Champion Big E was drafted to RAW in the first round, Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods were drafted to the blue brand in the second round.
As a result, the New Day’s reunion tour will end once the draft changes kick in on October 22.
