Last week on Friday Night SmackDown, Edge made his way down to the ring and called out The Brawling Brutes. He then pointed out how he had never faced Sheamus one on one, and he challenged Sheamus to a match on this week’s episode of SmackDown, which Sheamus accepted.
Heading into the match there’s been a lot of speculation that it could be Edge’s last as he previously said he wanted to retire in Toronto, which is where SmackDown is set to take place this week. The Hall of Famer recently spoke to ET Canada about his current status and he revealed that the match with Sheamus could very well be his last because he only has one match left on his contract.
“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.”
Stay tuned for more updates on Edge’s status as they become available.
