Edge has WWE’s return to Toronto circled on his calendar for a special reason.
The WWE Hall of Famer wrestled in Toronto for the first time in 12 years on the August 22 episode of WWE RAW; he defeated Damian Priest in the main event. The bout was particularly meaningful for the legend because it culminated his homecoming after he was previously forced to retire due to his neck injury in 2011.
In a post-match promo, Edge stated that he’s looking forward to the next time WWE comes to Toronto because he’d like it to be the site for his last match.
“30 years ago, 30 years ago, July 1st, 1992, I had my first wrestling match as Adam Copeland,” Edge said. “I knew one day, I’d be standing right here in front of you, I just knew it. What I didn’t dream of is that I would have to retire for nine years and fight, fight with every fiber of my being to get this back. All of you are the reason for that. This is a reciprocal relationship. I just went toe-to-toe with one of the best talents and the future of this industry in Damian Priest. I can’t wait to do it some more.
“I can’t wait to hopefully come back one last time, one last time here in Toronto. I’m looking at the calendar, we usually come here in August. So next August, I plan on seeing each and every one of you, and in a perfect world, we’ll all say goodbye to each other that night. Hey, that’s okay, man. This is the place for me to do it. I mean this when I say it — I love all of you. In case you missed it, I love being Canadian.”
After #WWERAW went of the air Edge revealed that he wants to have his final match next August in 2023 in Toronto Canada.
