Former WWE legend believes Edge could be close to retirement after a second comeback
Booker T believes that former WWE Champion Edge is close to retirement after returning last year.
The former King of the Ring believes that the old schoolers returning is very exciting for the company including John Cena. Edge is involved in a title battle with Roman Reigns and while The Rated-R Superstar is looking in great shape, T doesn’t think there is a lot left in the tank.
Talking on The Hall Of Fame podcast, he says: (h/t Rajah.com)
“Of course I am. Edge is trying to finish the thing, more than anything. I can feel where he’s coming from. Was it one of those eyebrow raisers? I think so. I think the people are like, ‘Oh yea. We have something here, baby.’ One thing about the old school, it isn’t dead yet.Edge right now is getting himself in the best shape he possibly can, going out there and saying, ‘Hey man. Let’s do this.”
“Let’s run it. Let’s run it back.’ I like that. Let’s see exactly what Edge still has left in the tank, because we all know this is Edge’s last hurrah.”
The WWE legend also believes that the rumors of Rock and John Cena returning is good for the sport and has maximum interest of the fans.
Edge made a surprise comeback on WWE SmackDown where he attacked Roman Reigns, before spearing Jimmy Uso through the barricade this week. The WWE Universe was in shock after the Rated-R Superstar appeared to be in a mode for vengeance.
The Canadian spent 20 years in professional wrestling and established himself as one of the greats in WWE in that time. He went on to achieve gold in singles and tag team action and also won numerous accomplishments on both RAW and SmackDown.
After his successful defense at WrestleMania 27 of the World Heavyweight Championship, he appeared on WWE RAW to talk about his future. He said that the injuries to his neck were recurring and could lead to permanent paralysis of the body.
He announced his retirement from the sport until a 9-year wait at the 2020 Royal Rumble.
