The upcoming 8/18 episode of WWE SmackDown could play host to the final match of WWE Hall of Famer, Edge's illustrious career.

On a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted that Edge's longtime friend and trainer, Ron Hutchinson 'basically' said that Edge's upcoming match against Sheamus in his hometown of Toronto, will be the final one of the WWE Hall of Famer's illustrious career.

"There's a big thing here. A year ago, Edge had said he was gonna retire at the [2023] summer show in Toronto. And Ron Hutchinson, who is Edge's trainer and has known Edge for 30 years, he basically said that this is Edge's last match. They certainly did not [build it up like that]. But that was interesting where he said it's probably – it's most likely Edge's last match."

The 'Rated-R Superstar' was forced into retirement following WrestleMania 27 in April, 2011 due to a neck injury. However, the Toronto-native made his shocking return to WWE in January 2020 at the Royal Rumble. However, it looks like 11-time World Champion is at the very least, nearing his more permanent retirement.

Edge is set to face Sheamus in his hometown of Toronto, Ontario, Canada on Friday, August 18.
