Getting to do this in his hometown in Toronto, with an opponent who instilled belief in him to return, the script can’t get any more perfect. But regardless, it left fans heartbroken on social media.

“If he retires, we riot” Fans become emotional 

After coming back in 2020, Edge has been unstoppable by having incredible feuds with the likes of Randy Orton, to name a few. While he didn’t have another world title run, fans were quick to address that on social media by wanting him to have one more run before he retires:-

“One more heel turn as a world champ and that’s it”

“Bro can’t end his career like this bro this man needs one more title run”

Some also suggested reliving the epic rivalries he had with John Cena and Orton once more.

“IF, and this is a big if, Edge indeed ISN’T done (yet), WWE y’all need to move heaven and earth and give us Edge vs John Cena one last time. 😭”

“One last match at Mania is what I’m thinking. Give him Cena or Orton”

Fans in Toronto and on the internet just couldn’t contain their emotions.
