WWE legend Edge has triumphed in the Royal Rumble from No. 1 spot — exactly 11 years after he first won it.

The 47-year-old, who won the Rumble in 2010, ended a near-decade of retirement with his shock return at last year’s event.

And now he is heading back to the WrestleMania main event for a title shot after running the entire gauntlet at the Thunderdome, The Sun reports.

Edge returned from months out after surgery to start the Rumble as his nemesis Randy Orton came out second.

The two battled outside the ring as Edge attacked the Viper on the ramp way before Sami Zayn and Mustafa Ali soon joined the fray as next entrants.

Jeff Hardy was out at No. 5, sparking an RKO spree by Orton before Edge stopped him with a spear as the two soon slipped under the bottom rope to continue battling on the outside.

The Rock has surprised his lifelong friend and fellow WWE star Harvey Wippleman with a brand-new car.

As the chaos ensued, there was another big shock as the Big Red Machine Kane hit the ring for a record 18th appearance in the Rumble, throwing out Ziggler and Ricochet.

His ex-Team Hell No partner Daniel Bryan then shared an awkward hug with the 7ft giant but soon received a chokeslam — but Kane’s stay was short lived as he was eliminated by Priest.

Then another shock as Edge’s old partner Christian arrived out of retirement to team with Bryan, Riddle and Big E to get US Title holder Bobby Lashley out.

And then the Monster Among Men Braun Strowman marched to the ring as the final entry.

He destroyed everyone, throwing out Cesaro, Sheamus and AJ Styles before he received a double spear from Edge and Christian.

We were down to five men, Rollins, Edge, Christian, Strowman and Riddle — although Orton had also not been officially eliminated.

It came down to a final stand-off between Orton and Edge and it was all over when the veteran pulled off a sweet Viper to book his ticket to WrestleMania.
