Matt Hardy makes a bold claim.
The Rated R Superstar returned to the ring during the 2020 Royal Rumble match and although he did not win, Edge has since continued to compete in the ring. However, there is not a lot left in the tank for Edge, who has been open about his desire to retire from the ring soon.
Speaking on The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, Matt made the bold claim that Edge could possibly end up having his retirement match outside of WWE.
“I think he’s had a good last run. I’m glad he did get to come back and he was able to recover from that very serious injury, which he had to leave for, for many years. He’s been in great shape, he’s looked good. I thought he’s really produced some quality content, and I like the process, now he’s been helping younger guys too. I feel like he’s kind of in a roll where I’m at too, where he kind of helps build the next generation as well in some ways. I think it would be very feasible for him to actually have his final match outside of WWE. I think that’s something that is possible. It may not. I mean, he may just finish there. I could see him being a guy that was committed. If he says it is his last match, I don’t think he’s going to do like Ric Flair and have five or six last matches, but I could see him finishing up with WWE and maybe having his final few matches somewhere else,”

We will have to wait and see if Matt Hardy’s idea becomes a reality, but for now Edge remains part of the WWE SmackDown roster.
