Edge Challenges Sheamus To First-Ever Match In Toronto

Calgary, 11 August 2023 - Surprisingly, Edge emerged in Hart Country, just a week ahead of his 25th wrestling anniversary celebration. The news didn't include his appearance on the August 11 SmackDown, but there he was in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. His reason? He felt it had been way too long since he connected with the Calgary WWE fans. Moreover, Edge had a mission to make the August 18 WWE Friday Night SmackDown extra special, not just for his Toronto Homecoming, mind you.

He went ahead and threw down a challenge to Sheamus, wanting to settle a long-standing score. These two had never squared off, despite sharing the WWE ring for all these years, and Edge was dead set on changing that.



He spun a yarn about how his appearance on Sheamus' Celtic Warrior Workouts YouTube channel and a bike tumble triggered his WWE comeback. To add some spice, Edge summoned Sheamus to the ring to respond to his challenge.

Sheamus wasn't one to let Edge do all the talking. He spilled his own tale of how Edge's words back in 2004 ignited a spark in him, leading him to eventually make it to WWE. With a nod, Sheamus accepted Edge's challenge. While their interactions were mostly genial, Sheamus left Edge with a parting thought that maybe he was stepping into a hornet's nest.

With a plan to share a pint of Guinness after their clash, these seasoned warriors are set to duke it out for the first time ever in Toronto on August 18.
