Edge 25 years celebration set for WWE SmackDown in Toronto

WWE will celebrate25 years of Edge’s career on the Friday, August 18 episode of SmackDown in Toronto. 

As announced during this week’s SmackDown show, Edge will appear in Toronto for a celebration of the 25th anniversary of his WWE debut in two weeks. 

Edge was first advertised for the Toronto SmackDown back in June. 

Following his most recent match in Toronto last August, Edge teased that this summer’s Toronto show could be for his final WWE match, but he has since hinted that his career won’t wrap up until he gets a shot at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, currently held by Seth Rollins. 

After a feud with The Judgment Day ended at last October’s Extreme Rules pay-per-view, Edge returned to the ring at the 2023 Royal Rumble in January. He then teamed with wife Beth Phoenix against Rhea Ripley and Finn Balor at February’s Elimination Chamber pay-per-view in Montreal. 

In his matches since, Edge has lost a US title bout against Austin Theory, defeated Balor in a Hell in a Cell match at WrestleMania 39, dropped a triple threat match to AJ Styles in the World Heavyweight title tournament, then defeated Grayson Waller in his most recent match at the July 7 SmackDown at Madison Square Garden.
