“Wouldn’t be shocked,” “Future world champion”

Edge recently wrestled AJ Styles and Rey Mysterio on WWE SmackDown in a losing effort to qualify for the World Heavyweight Championship. Ahead of this week’s episode of Brand Blue, it was announced that The Rated-R Superstar will return this Friday for The Grayson Waller Effect.

Speaking of the ostentatious Aussie, Grayson Waller held his own at Money in the Bank in front of a hot crowd from the UK. Despite being in the ring with WWE legend John Cena, Waller managed to stir up the cheers directed at him by playing along with their cheers.

With two segments in the same week opposite John Cena and Edge, WWE fans believe that not only is Grayson Waller destined for the big things, but the Hall of Famer may be his first real feud on the main roster.

Grayson Waller was in a segment with John Cena in his PPV main roster debut.

He will also be in a segment with Edge on SmackDown at MSG.

Too cool for him.

Here are some fan reactions to Grayson Waller’s rise in popularity and the potential match between him and The Rated-R Superstar:

@tweet I can’t think of anyone better suited to opponent Edge at Summerslam than Waller. I hope they don’t end up doing something as disappointing as Kross vs Edge instead

Edge may not be around all the way until WrestleMania 40, as WWE has already announced that they will be returning to Canada this summer. Could Grayson Waller be his final pay-per-view opponent? We might find out this week.

WWE Hall of Famer is the only condition for retirement

Edge doesn’t necessarily want his last match to be on the biggest stage, but he certainly wishes this match happened in Canada.

The R-rated star spoke to Toronto Sun Earlier this year to tease his match at WrestleMania against Finn Balor. He also had a reasonable idea of ​​his upcoming retirement:

“Next June will be 25 years since I made my television debut, so it looks like it would be great to do a nice little retirement tour almost,” he said. “Not the greatest hits, because I want to get out and go. There’s a lot in the air right now, frankly, and I think a lot of it will be answered in and around August and September.” (H/T: Toronto Sun)

Hall of Famer added:

“I’d like you to be in Toronto,” he repeated his last game. “I think that’s something I want to stick to. Would I rather have it be pay-per-view? Sure. Would I rather have it in the stadium? Sure. But for me, it’s important that it’s in Toronto, let’s say it has to be WrestleMania. Just because that’s it.” The place it started in. So why not bring it back full circle and be like, “There, that’s the end of the story.”

What does Edge have in store for The Grayson Waller Effect Friday night on WWE SmackDown?

With so much still to do, according to a large section of the fans, including a final run as world champion and a showdown with longtime rival John Cena, The Rated-R Superstar knows there’s only so much time left.
