The reports stated that there has been discussion about a “possible heel turn.” However, nothing is confirmed as of yet. If it happens, it will revamp Edge’s character on the main roster. The last time Edge was in his heel persona, fans saw the formation of one of the greatest factions The Judgment Day.

WWE drafted Edge to SmackDown during this year’s WWE Draft. With him turning heel, it will give rise to endless possibilities on the Blue Brand. Thus, fans have been waiting to see the Rated R superstar in some incredible feuds and storylines. It will be interesting to see when WWE pulls the trigger on him.

There are many superstars on the roster who are in the final stages of their careers. One such superstar is WWE Hall of Famer Edge. The Rated R superstar has been actively performing in WWE since returning in 2020. However, it appears that he does not have much fuel left in his tank.

Ahead of SmackDown last week, Edge posted a video on Twitter and spoke about his retirement plans. He said that he would love to end his career after winning the brand new World Heavyweight Championship. Edge stated that it’s a title that he never lost in the first place while having to relinquish it.

Evidently, he failed to win the triple-threat qualifying match at SmackDown. With Edge on the Blue Brand, he won’t get another opportunity for the title. However, it looks like Edge will definitely cross paths with the World Heavyweight Championship before bidding adieu to his illustrious career.
