To Be Concluded… /hPZNPfWJnR- IMPACT August 18, 2023Ĭhad Gable’s win over Gunther was a perfect use of count-out. It makes you realize how shallow typecasting Latin stars as ladies’ men really is when real life is so much more compelling.Ĭontent Warning: Discussion of suicide continues his sit-down interview with on #IMPACTonAXSTV. The NXT video package, which included old home movies, to tell Angel Garza and Humberto Carrillo’s story of wanting to make grandfather Humberto Garza proud after some failed gimmicks was as good as it gets. Nevin is dominant enough to go win matches on her own without any help from Green, leaving endless possibilities. Piper Nevin may just be an even more perfect partner for Chelsea Green from a storyline perspective. Jericho asking Callis if he was going to assassinate him was also a nice foreshadowing of Will Ospreay – The Aerial Assasin – showing up to attack him later. The 10 CountĬhris Jericho and Don Callis took us on quite the roller-coaster ride as Jericho joined Callis’ family then backed out after seeing his friend holding his chopped-off head in a painting. Nakamura has moved into a heartless assassin phase and WWE might have no choice but to run hard with it. The constant images of Rollins grimacing along with having to read the subtitles made it even harder to take your eye off the package. He came off on “Monday Night Raw” as cold, evil and calculated as he revealed he knew about Rollins’ serious back injuries and planned to exploit them. Maybe there is one last short run as tag team champions considering their last match together – outside a joint 2021 Royal Rumble appearance - was in 2011. Maybe they retire in a match against each other or against the Hardys. It would likely check the final box of Edge’s return. Then there is the other option with Edge having completed more than three years of service to WWE since his return.Įdge could do a short stint in AEW – even if it can’t start at Wembley Stadium next Sunday – to reunite one last time with best friend Christian Cage, who also came back from injury.
Edge reacts after his match against Sheamus on Smackdown. He could push this to WrestleMania 40 – going on a retirement tour of sorts – maybe begging someone to beat him and send him home for good. There are so many ways for this to play out.Įdge could never wrestle again and this would serve as an imperfect, but poetic, ending as he got to write his own version this time after returning in 2020. Because, man, one experience you all gave me, I will never forget it.” “What I can say is this is my last time in front of y’all,” he said as the crowd booed. “I gotta sit home this week, lick my wounds, talk to my family and see what they want me to do. “I don’t know what the future holds, I really don’t,” he said. While this was the last match on his current WWE deal, his contract isn’t up until September and it didn’t sound like he planned on being around the business long enough to make it back to Toronto as a wrestler. He left the door open for his career to continue – just maybe not for too much longer. Pyro exploded in the background as Edge’s hand was raised before a hug with Sheamus.Įdge, who has done the retirement speech before when he thought his career was over due to a neck injury in 2011, addressed his hometown crowd after the match. There was fellow WWE Hall of Famer and wife Beth Phoenix exuding all the emotions of a potential retirement in the front row alongside daughters Lyric and Ruby – whose initials were on the boots of their dad’s Maple Leafs-themed attire along with his mom Judy’s.Įdge and Sheamus had a fine match, the excitement building and building to the finish as it took two spears to finally put the Celtic Warrior down to a big pop. There was an amazing video package chronicling his legendary career. There was Edge, 49, wrestling friend Sheamus for the first time in what he said will be the last time he will wrestle in his hometown of Toronto. What we saw on SmackDown, marking 25 years of Edge in the WWE, felt like a celebration - and maybe a goodbye. We do not yet know what the future holds for Edge, but if Friday night was it, what a beautiful moment it was.
