Edge's Response To Retirement Rumors Ahead Of WWE SmackDown Match Against Sheamus

Orangeville, August 17, 2023 - In anticipation of his upcoming match against Sheamus on WWE SmackDown on August 18, Edge, who is commemorating his remarkable 25-year journey in WWE, addressed the retirement speculations that have been circulating.

Notably, Edge had previously expressed the sentiment that concluding his wrestling career in Toronto, the very location of the upcoming SmackDown event, would be a fitting culmination.



During an interview with ET Canada, Edge candidly responded to inquiries about whether the forthcoming match would mark his final appearance in the ring:

"Here's what I can honestly say, and this isn't the answer everyone wants. I truly don't know. I really really, with 100% truth can say I don't know. That's strange for me, but I don't. I really don't. I've put some thought into it, but not a lot. This is the last match on my current contract. I don't know. I honestly don't know.

I probably won't know until I get to the locker room that night and decompress, let all the anxiety and tension that I never used to have before I performed, I have now. That's strange for me and makes it that much harder to do this. I'm going to be 50 in October. It's not easy anymore. Before, what I used to take for granted to be able to do, now, there is a process and a fallout. There's a lot. It's the dream gig, but it's getting really hard," he stated.

It is noteworthy that Edge had made a resounding return to the ring in 2020, emerging from retirement and making a striking reentry at the 2020 Royal Rumble event. During that juncture, he reportedly entered into a three-year contractual commitment. Edge's most recent engagement inside the squared circle was witnessed on the July 7 edition of WWE SmackDown, where he secured a victory against Grayson Waller.
