I wonder how long Edge's return has actually been on the table. I'd guess the talks started all the way back at SummerSlam when they allowed him to give Elias a Spear. In response he stoked the flames a bit on the E&C podcast by saying that even though he'd be blown up, he feels he could work a match as he'd been doing his own stunts on TV and was leading a pretty active lifestyle in recent years. But he also made sure to add that WWE would never clear him.
But really it was a month or two later when he quit the podcast that it seemed like it'd actually happen. He cited time concerns for quitting but as best I could tell he would sit in a room in his house for only an hour or two a week and talk wrestling, sure felt like he was quitting because he wouldn't be allowed to be on a non WWE-sponsored show that talks about other promotions.
