Edge is slated to wrestle Finn Balor, who will be portraying his Demon character, in a Hell in a Cell match at WrestleMania 39 this weekend. Which night the match will take place has yet to be confirmed.
This will be the first WrestleMania Hell in a Cell match since WrestleMania 32 in 2016 when The Undertaker battled Shane McMahon.
While appearing on Sportsnet 590 The Fan, Edge was asked how he prepares for a match like this. He noted that he has a history of doing stupid things in matches and has some ideas for it.
“Well, again, I have a history of doing stupid things, right? You do because it’s a Hell in a Cell match and because people expect a certain level of, I don’t know, brutality within the performance. You gotta up the stakes. So I do. I think outside of the box and I think about what’s physically possible and a lot of crazy ideas jump into my head and they always have. But I always try and make sure that I save them for WrestleMania or I’ll save them where it’ll actually mean something and be remembered. I’m not diving face-first through a flaming table with thumbtacks in my back unless it’s WrestleMania, because I know that will be one that people are gonna remember. If you just do it on Raw one week, well, then it’s gone and it’s not gonna be remembered because there’s 52 other Raws or 51 other Raws during the year. WrestleMania happens once a year. If you’re a casual fan, you may be watching. If you’re a wrestling fan, you’re definitely watching and that’s the one that I know has the worldwide eyeballs on it so that’s where you gotta go for it and man, you put me in a Hell in a Cell, I gotta go for it even if I’m 49-years-old. That’s just part of the way I’m wired so, I have some pretty extra stupid ideas. We’ll see if they let me try them, they probably won’t. But we’ll see.”
Edge most recently worked a Hell in a Cell match in 2021 against Seth Rollins at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia. The WWE Hall of Famer is expected to do his Brood entrance for the match and could have a special guest with him when he does it.
