Adam Copeland, famously known as Edge in WWE, came out of retirement in 2020 and returned as a full-time superstar. But before deciding to unretire, Edge made a quick call to former WWE star Ryback to get some major advice.
On a recent episode of Ryback TV, the Big Guy called Copeland one of the "good guys" in wrestling because he always treated him with respect. He revealed that the former WWE champion called him before coming out of retirement to ask him about stem cells.
> "He's one of the nicest guys I've ever met and I talked to him before... He called me before he went back to wrestling and we had a conversation about stem cells and he was always, he's always been really good to me. Always give me a lot of respect and I have nothing but love," Ryback said.

He had to retire in 2011 due to neck problems but was cleared to return about four years ago.
>"I did have a doctor tell me that he thinks they'll be able to basically get my neck relatively healthy within 5 years. And then there's stem cells which I'm also looking into. Just from the stuff I've experienced in the last eight years and the things I've done physically, it's like, 'I could pull off one.' I'm not saying I could pull off a year's worth," Copeland said on the E&C Pod of Awesomeness in 2019. [H/T WrestleTalk]Well, it didn't take five years for Edge to get cleared to wrestle again. He made his return at the 2020 Royal Rumble match, less than five months after providing the above update on his health.
