Edge Addresses The Crowd After SmackDown – As noted, Edge defeated Sheamus during tonight’s SmackDown main event, in what was said to be his final match, at least of his current WWE contract.
After his match with Sheamus on the August 18 episode of WWE SmackDown, Edge left an indelible mark on the show and the fans. As the episode concluded, Edge delivered a heartfelt speech to the Toronto crowd, which was a dark segment intended solely for the live audience.
In his speech, Edge expressed that this match marked his final appearance in front of the Toronto crowd. He conveyed that he doesn’t believe he has another full year of active wrestling left in him. He shared his deep emotional connection to the city and its fans, emphasizing that Toronto will always hold a special place in his heart. Edge admitted that he’s uncertain about his future path, but he intends to discuss his options with his family to determine what’s next for him.
Following Edge’s speech, a confrontation erupted between him and Imperium, consisting of WWE Intercontinental Champion GUNTHER, Giovanni Vinci, and Ludwig Kaiser. Before Imperium could launch an attack, Edge was rescued by Drew McIntyre and Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens. The trio thwarted Imperium’s assault and celebrated with Edge in the ring. McIntyre and Zayn even lifted Edge onto their shoulders in a symbolic gesture.
After these events, Edge reappeared later in the evening to help the babyface team secure victory over Imperium in a dark main event. Notably, fans observed that Edge did not leave his wrestling boots in the ring, which is often a symbolic gesture indicating a wrestler’s retirement.
The details of Edge’s future with WWE remain uncertain. While the match with Sheamus was originally stated as the final bout on his WWE contract, discussions about a contract extension were reportedly held. As of now, fans await news about Edge’s next steps and his potential involvement with the company in the future.
