Edge, the WWE Hall of Famer, is approaching retirement after 25 years in the company. On Friday night, he put a cap on his career with a match in his hometown of Toronto. In front of a crowd including his wife and daughters, Edge defeated Sheamus in the main event of SmackDown.
After the show went off-air, Edge addressed the crowd and confirmed that this was his last match on his current contract. The 49-year-old said that he doesn't think he'll make it another year in the ring in Toronto. He thanked the crowd for the experience, saying: "When I'm 84 years old, and I don't remember much, I'm damn sure going to remember this."
It's unclear if Edge will wrestle again, but it seems certain that he won't be in the ring by next year. His protégé, Brian Myers, spoke out before the match, saying he hoped Edge would be at peace before deciding to retire.
The WWE SmackDown airs Friday nights at 1am on TNT Sports 1, and John Cena led the tributes for Edge's 25th anniversary in the company. Fans can get in touch with the The Agency entertainment team to share their stories, videos or pictures.
