Toronto, ON – In a momentous and emotional evening, WWE legend Edge bid farewell to his wrestling career with a triumphant victory over Sheamus on Friday night’s episode of SmackDown. The match, which took place in front of Edge’s hometown crowd, marked the end of his 25-year long WWE journey.

Despite the bittersweet moment, Edge expressed profound gratitude for the fans and the unforgettable experiences they had given him throughout his career.
Fans and fellow wrestlers alike now find themselves pondering what lies ahead for the WWE legend. Edge’s retirement, should it indeed come to pass, would mark the end of an era in professional wrestling. However, only time will tell what the future holds for this beloved icon and whether he will make yet another unexpected return to the ring.
As the echoes of applause and cheers fade away, the WWE universe remains eternally grateful for the remarkable journey and untold impact that Edge has had on the world of wrestling.
