Edge last competed on night two of WrestleMania 39, where he faced Finn Balor inside Hell in a Cell. The Rated R Superstar hit a Con-Chair-To on Balor to win the match.
This past Monday, the World Heavyweight Championship tournament began, and Seth Rollins qualified for the finals. Edge is scheduled to face AJ Styles and Rey Mysterio in the first-round Triple Threat match on tomorrow’s SmackDown.
Today, WWE Hall of Famer Edge posted a video on social media and revealed how much the World Heavyweight Championship means to him. The Rated R Superstar stated that he wants to finish his story by winning the World Heavyweight Title. He also said that he will retire after losing the title.
“Some people been running around saying they’re gonna finish their story and good for them, but it made me think a little bit about my story. The introduction of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, if I look at that thing, it even looks like the title I never lost, looks like big gold. 12 years ago I was forced to give that thing up, never had the chance to get it back. Now I have the chance and it all comes full circle. This ride, it’s gonna end sooner or later. I gotta get this done, it’s the last thing to do. It’s gonna end soon and I gotta end it right this time. There’s no better way to finish it than to win the World Heavyweight Championship and when I lose it – that’s it, I’m done.”

In 2011, Edge had to relinquish the World Heavyweight Championship due to injuries related to the neck. The Rated R Superstar then helped his best friend Christian to win the Vacant World Heavyweight Championship at Extreme Rules in May 2011. Edge was then inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2012. However, Edge was able to return to the squared circle at the 2020 Royal Rumble.
