Edge is slated to wrestle Sheamus this Friday on WWE SmackDown. The WWE Hall of Famer stated last year that he wanted to end his career this year at a show in Toronto, which just so happens to be Friday’s SmackDown.
Earlier this year, Edge walked those comments back somewhat at the WWE Elimination Chamber post-show press conference as he noted he was unsure what he was eating for breakfast tomorrow. He is only sure about his retirement match happening in Canada.
As previously reported, Edge’s trainer has said that this is probably Edge’s last match.
While speaking to ET Canada, Edge was asked if Friday would be his retirement match. The WWE Hall of Famer doesn’t know whether it will be, but it is the last match on his current WWE deal.
“Here’s what I can honestly say, and this isn’t the answer everyone wants. I truly don’t know. With 100% truth, I 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. 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 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, and there’s a lot. It’s the dream gig, but it’s getting really hard.”
