Match Cards & Predictions
Edge’s 25th Anniversary Celebration
The Rated ‘R’ Superstar is said to have his 25th Anniversary Celebration this week in his hometown Toronto. Since he returned last week to Calgary and made things exciting for this week, the celebration could turn out into a great segment. As Edge’s retirement rumors are buzzing the internet, he might address his future by announcing his retirement or explaining what’s next for him. The segment could feature multiple wrestlers, veterans including her wife Beth Phoenix, Sheamus, Rey Mysterio, and many others.
Edge vs Sheamus
As a part of fulfilling Edge’s wish to have a match against Sheamus at the 25th Anniversary, he is said to go one on one with Sheamus this week. As per speculations, the match could be a tough contest, and might be the highlight of the evening. However, Edge will win the match by spearing Sheamus and end up sharing mutual respect.
Grayson Waller Effect with Rey Mysterio
Last week on SmackDown, Rey Mysterio replaced Santos Escobar and won the United States Championship from Austin Theory. To share his emotions, he is said to be in the Grayson Waller Effect talk show for a quick chit chat. However the segment might be interrupted by Austin Theory, who would demand a rematch for the title, which might be booked for Payback.
