On Thursday, Edge posted a video on his social media accounts where he talked about wanting to finish his own story.
Edge stated that he plans on winning the World Heavyweight Title and he plans on hanging up the boots whenever he loses it. The statement led to a ton of speculation that he might win the belt at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia.
The insider private Twitter account @BoozerRasslin reported today that Edge is not being booked to win the title. It’s unclear if he will win tonight’s Triple Threat Match but the plan is not for him to be champion. Since Triple H said that the champion will be defending all of the time, it wouldn’t make sense for Edge to win it since he only wrestles a few times per year. Edge vs. Rey Mysterio vs. AJ Styles is booked for SmackDown.
Tonight’s SmackDown will also feature the return of WWE Undisputed Universal Champion Roman Reigns. WWE has also announced that Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez will defend the Women’s Tag Team Titles against Damage CTRL and in the second Triple Threat Match in the World Heavyweight Title tournament, it will be Sheamus vs. Bobby Lashley vs. Austin Theory.
