Edge announces plans for his retirement match after RAW goes off the air
On the latest episode of RAW, Edge wrestled his first match in his hometown of Toronto. He defeated Damian Priest in a solid main event before being saved by his wife Beth Phoenix from a beatdown. Post-RAW, he announced when he plans to retire and how he wants to go out.

The Rated-R Superstar wants to end his career on own terms. In 2011, he was unable to do so as he was forced to retire due to an injury that would keep him out for nearly nine long years. His return has been nothing short of miraculous, as he headlined WrestleMania and had classics against the likes of Seth Rollins, Randy Orton, and others.
Edge cut a promo after the main event went off the air and revealed that he intends to return to Toronto next year for his retirement match. Thus, he will likely hang up his boots in 2023.
@WWE @EdgeRatedR Thank you Edge. Chills. An amazing speech to end the night. Will see you back in one year in this building in August to end it the way you want it to. #WWERaw. https://t.co/S7A3GOd8hP
Edge will turn 49 in a little over two months. Assuming WWE returns to Toronto around the same timeframe next year, his retirement will happen right before he turns 50 - not a bad age to go out.
The most important thing is that he has his farewell match on his terms. Who would you like to see him face? Sound off below.
