Edge first made his WWE debut on the June 22, 1998 episode of Raw. ## Most recently, Edge appeared on the July 7 episode of WWE SmackDown as a guest on the Grayson Waller Effect. Despite Waller's attempts to convince him to retire, Edge ended up wrestling Waller on the show and emerged victorious with his signature move, the spear. ## In a backstage interview, Edge hinted that he might also commemorate his 25-year anniversary on Raw and NXT. ## Singles Match: Edge vs. Sheamus ## Edge made an unexpected appearance in Hart Country just a week before his 25-year anniversary celebration. The reason behind his appearance was significant as he aimed to shake things up for the upcoming August 18 episode of WWE SmackDown. ## Although Edge's presence wasn't initially announced for the August 11 edition of SmackDown, he surprised the Calgary WWE Universe by showing up in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. This decision was fueled by his desire to reconnect with his fans there after a considerable absence. Beyond merely celebrating his Homecoming in Toronto, Edge had bigger plans for the August 18 SmackDown episode. ## In a bold move, Edge issued a challenge to Sheamus, a rival he had never faced one-on-one throughout their shared time in WWE. Edge recounted a story during which he appeared on Sheamus' Celtic Warrior Workouts YouTube channel and the subsequent incident of falling off his bike. These events served as the catalysts for his return to WWE, and Edge aimed to make the August 18 SmackDown episode a memorable one, not just for his Toronto Homecoming. ## Inviting Sheamus to join him in the ring, Edge extended his challenge. Sheamus, on his part, shared his own tale about how Edge's words of encouragement back in 2004 played a pivotal role in keeping his WWE dreams alive. Sheamus ultimately accepted Edge's challenge. While the atmosphere remained mostly amicable, Sheamus offered a final caution to Edge, hinting that he might be underestimating the consequences of his challenge. ## With an agreement to share a pint of Guinness after their match, these experienced veterans are set to finally clash for the first time ever in Toronto on August 18. ## Grayson Waller Effect with Rey Mysterio ## Rey Mysterio unexpectedly became the WWE United States Champion once again. The plan was for Santos Escobar to challenge Austin Theory for the title on the August 11 edition of WWE Friday Night SmackDown. However, Theory tried to avoid defending his title by attacking Santos backstage and then again during his entrance. ## But Santos Escobar didn't let Theory off the hook. He agreed to replace himself with Rey Mysterio in the title match. Rey Mysterio ended up winning his third WWE United States Championship by defeating Austin Theory with his signature 619 move. Later, it was revealed that Rey Mysterio would appear on the Grayson Waller Effect on the August 18 episode of WWE SmackDown. ## Charlotte Flair & Asuka Vs. Damage CTRL? ## Last week on SmackDown, Damage CTRL caused Charlotte Flair vs. Asuka to end in a no-contest. Following their Triple Threat Match against Bianca Belair at SummerSlam, Charlotte Flair and Asuka renewed their intense feud. ## Just as The Queen of WWE was preparing to apply her Figure-Eight Leglock, SKY and the other members of Damage CTRL suddenly appeared at ringside. ## This marked SKY's arrival as a dominant force on SmackDown, as she executed a double dropkick on both Flair and Asuka, resulting in the match being declared a no-contest. ## To stay updated with all the latest wrestling news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

On the June 30 episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown, Bayley took scissors to Shotzi's hair after a hard-fought battle between the two. Shotzi had boldly attempted to secure a spot in the WWE Money in the Bank Ladder Match, challenging Bayley for her position. ## However, Bayley emerged victorious in their singles match, thanks in part to some assistance from IYO SKY. SKY craftily intervened by placing Bayley's foot on the ropes when it seemed Shotzi had the victory within her grasp. As a result, a disgruntled Shotzi confronted Damage CTRL backstage. ## Capitalizing on their numerical advantage, the members of Damage CTRL exploited the situation, leading to Bayley ultimately snipping a lock of Shotzi's hair. Throughout the hair-cutting process, Bayley repeatedly taunted her opponent, branding her as "a freak." ## oh i didn't see shotzi was the one to start it!!!! 🤨pic.twitter.com/1HetTGatIL— maia (@baycedes) June 30, 2023 ## It looks like Iyo and Bayley have solidified their friendship at this go-home.

Despite emerging victorious in the main event against Grayson Waller, he faced an intense onslaught from his own cousin, Reigns, and his brother, Solo Sikoa, after the match's conclusion. Reigns and Sikoa delivered a devastating double attack, employing the Spear/Samoan Spike combo to lay waste to poor Jey Uso! ## Asuka, Belair, and Flair have one stop before SummerSlam ## With the 2023 summer event drawing near, the WWE Women's Champion Asuka finds herself confronted with her most formidable challenge yet. She must put her title on the line in a thrilling Triple Threat Match against the fierce competitors, Bianca Belair and Charlotte Flair. Over the past month, these three phenomenal Superstars have engaged in bitter rivalries, constantly meddling in each other's matches. ## As the final night approaches before The Biggest Party of the Summer, all three contenders are fervently gearing up for the monumental clash that awaits them. ## Predicted Match Card ## AJ Styles Vs. Karrion Kross ## In the face of The O.C.'s Karl Anderson's aggressive offense, Karrion Kross managed to gain the upper hand thanks to interference from Scarlett. This pivotal moment shifted the momentum in Kross' favor, ultimately leading him to secure the victory using his devastating move, the Final Prayer. ## Following the intense match, the sadistic Kross wasted no time and immediately trapped Anderson in his lethal submission hold, the Kross Jacket. He then proceeded to taunt and shout at AJ Styles, until The Phenomenal One and the rest of The O.C. rushed to the ring to intervene and come to Anderson's rescue. ## Jey Uso and Roman Reigns to engage in a brawl ## Before their big showdown at SummerSlam, I will believe, they are all set to engage in a fierce brawl this week on SmackDown. Last week on SmackDown, Jey Uso defeated Grayson Waller in the main event matchup. ## At the pinnacle of the match, Jey Uso delivered a powerful message by executing a Reigns' Spear on Waller, followed by a decisive Uso Splash that secured him the victory over his opponent. ## To stay updated with all the latest wrestling news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.

However, the expected push keeps facing delays, leading to disappointment among supporters. Recent reports now suggest that WWE plans to push him after SummerSlam.

If he is not facing Theory as initially anticipated, will LA Knight still be featured on the SummerSlam card? ## According to WWE insider Boozer 666, a reputable source known for breaking WWE stories in the past, LA Knight is indeed scheduled to be part of SummerSlam.
