For years Edge was one of the top stars in WWE, but unfortunately he was forced into retirement in 2011. In 2020 he did the unthinkable when he returned to the ring and since then Edge has been able to add a new chapter to his career.
The Rated R Superstar has been involved in a heated feud with Finn Balor for months now, and they’re currently set to face off in a Hell in a Cell match at WrestleMania. Even though Balor has been consistently disrespecting Edge on WWE TV for some time, he recently praised his rival during an interview with ESPN.
“Edge is a legend in this business. Someone who I’ve looked up to both in and out of the ring many many years and he’s someone that I always dreamed about wrestling. When he retired, the hope or that idea that I’ll step into the ring with him – that idea extinguished.”
“When he returned to the ring [in 2020], at Royal Rumble, that kind of fire was like reignited just a little bit. I said ‘ooh, there’s a possiblity that this might happen’ and then I never thought it would be at a WrestleMania match and I never thought it would be a program that ran the last 10 months. Obviously we have a lot of differences in the ring, but I have a lot of respect for him and what he’s done in his career.”
