Why is WWE bringing back Edge and Randy Orton?

According to many, WWE is bringing back all the A-listers because the promotion is seeing a huge fall in viewership ratings since the past few weeks. WWE asked AJ Styles to return this week and participate in Money in the Bank qualifiers. Since WrestleMania 36, WWE RAW has not featured A-list superstars like Randy Orton, Edge, Brock Lesnar and others in any episodes. Apart from AJ Styles, WWE RAW currently features A-listers like Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre.
