Could this Friday be the last time we see Edge inside a ring for WWE?
The Rated R Superstar recently sat down with Carlos Bustamante of ET Canada. When asked if his match with Sheamus on SmackDown this week is his retirement match, Edge remained non-committal but revealed this is the last match on his current WWE contract.
“Here’s what I can honestly say, and this isn’t the answer that everybody’s going to want. I truly don’t know,” Edge said. “I really, really can, with 100% truth, say I don’t know. And that’s strange for me, but I don’t. I really, really don’t. I’ve put some thought into it but not a lot. This is the last match on my current contract. So I don’t know. I honestly don’t know.
“I probably won’t know until I get to the locker room that night. And just decompress, let all the anxiety and tension that I never used to have before it performed I have now, and that’s strange for me, and it makes it that much harder to do this, and I’m going to be 50 in October. It’s not easy anymore. Before, what I used to just take for granted to be able to do, now there’s a process, and there’s a fallout, and there’s a lot. And it’s the dream gang, but again, it’s getting really hard.”
These comments are a bit different from what Edge said at the end of April on an episode of IMPAULSIVE, where he said he believed he might be able to do this for another year at an elite level.
“I think at most I might have another year in me, to be able to do at this level and still be able to do it at an elite level where I can still hang and I gotta get in with Austin Theory, who’s 25. He wasn’t born when I had my first match for WWE; you know what I mean? I want to be sitting on my mountain and watching you guys do your thing and just going, ‘Man, good for them.’”
