Edge Wrestling His Final Match On WWE SmackDown?

Edge Wrestling His Final Match On WWE SmackDown? – On the August 11 episode of WWE SmackDown, the company arranged a segment with Edge and Sheamus to set up their match for this week’s show, along with a 25-year celebration section for the WWE Hall of Famer.

The segment delved into the narrative surrounding Edge’s journey, including a bike accident involving Sheamus that took place during a trail ride. This incident played a pivotal role in Edge’s decision to attempt a return to wrestling after the fall, leading to his medical clearance in 2020.

Interestingly, Edge had previously expressed his desire to conclude his wrestling career this year at a Toronto event, a plan that aligns with the upcoming SmackDown episode.

Dave Meltzer, in his discussion on Wrestling Observer Radio, mentioned that Edge’s trainer has indicated that this match might indeed be Edge’s final one. However, he also speculated that Edge might choose to keep his retirement plans under wraps, foregoing the traditional buildup for a retirement match.

Meltzer: “So there’s a big thing here. You know, a year ago, Edge had said that he would retire at the summer show in Toronto, and Ron Hutchinson, who is Edge’s trainer and has maybe known Edge for 30 years. Yeah. 30 years-ish, I would say. He said that this is Edge’s last match.”

ryan Alvarez: “Well, he certainly didn’t build it up like it was the end.”

Meltzer: “They certainly did not. No. Makes sense. No, but it was interesting when you said, like, it’s probably it’s most likely Edge’s last match. Wow. This is interesting because, and I mean I didn’t, you know, like watching the tv, I didn’t think it at all. No, but I remember a year ago when Edge said, you know, because I think that the idea was that Edge thought that maybe Summer was going to be in Toronto, and he was hoping for that. And then that would be where he would retire. Yeah. Because he wants to retire in Toronto. And this is the year he was talking about retiring for real. You know, the second retirement, and this is the last Toronto Show for a while. There’ll be another one, but I don’t know if they’re not billing it as such if this is retirement. But his trainer said that it’s probably his last match.”

Alvarez: “Well, honestly, if you look at the story they told where, you know, Seamus is here because of Edge, and Edge is here because of Sheamus. This would be a great match to go out with if you can do it in front of your hometown, get a main event, get some time, and have a great match; I guess we’ll see.”

Meltzer: “So maybe it could be one of those things where, you know, of course, they’re going to do what Edge wants to do, where Edge doesn’t want anyone to know. But there, we just talked about it.”
