It's believed that The Bloodline, both former and current members, won't be in attendance at the August 18 episode of Friday Night SmackDown. This "unexplained" absence of one of the WWE's hottest storylines makes little sense until you come across the latest word from the grapevine - Edge will be retiring then.
As the 25-year celebration of WWE legend Adam Copeland, popularly known as Edge, looms, everyone is wondering: Is this really the last curtain call for the Rated-R Superstar?
Edge's 2020 return to the squared circle was a moment frozen in time, with fans clutching their hearts as the impossible became reality. Back in 2011, an insidious neck injury robbed him of what should have been the peak of his career. The world believed Edge was sidelined for good, so witnessing his triumphant return at the Royal Rumble was a goosebump-inducing spectacle that still echoes in the annals of wrestling history.
Yet as the calendar pages three years later, murmurs of Edge's imminent second retirement began to take shape. These weren't just casual rumors either; they emerged from the lips of Ron Hutchinson, Edge's longtime trainer, a man who's been by the superstar's side for three decades. As reported by multiple sources, including renowned wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer, Hutchinson believes that Edge's climactic showdown with Sheamus on this week's SmackDown may be the Rated-R Superstar's final hurrah.
