The WWE would host the World Heavyweight Championship tournament on Friday Night SmackDown. While Seth ‘Freaking’ Rollins from Monday Night RAW has qualified, Friday night would have some mega triple-threat action. WWE Hall of Famer Edge is in the tournament and will square off against Rey Mysterio and AJ Styles. But ahead of the match, the Rated R Superstar dropped a major hint that it could be the last of him in the ring.

Ahead of the Championship tournament in SmackDown, Edge shared a video to address the WWE Universe from his social media account, Twitter. He mentioned his enthusiasm to win the battle and head to Jeddah to clash against one of his former Nemesis.

“It’s gonna end soon and I gotta end it right this time. And 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,” He mentioned in the video.

Twelve years ago, Edge had to relinquish the World Heavyweight Championship title due to his neck injury, which forced him to retire. But now that he is back, he kept hunting for one more championship win. The 11-time world champ also said that the new title resembled the Big Gold, which he had to vacate.
