“To Banish Ghosts and Goblins”: Edge Gets an Unusual 25th Anniversary Gift From None Other Than Sheamus

On the latest episode of SmackDown, WWE Hall of Famer Edge celebrated 25 years with the company by wrestling in his hometown of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The main event saw Edge defeat Sheamus — someone Edge credited for inspiring him to get back into the ring. But it was after the show went off the air that ”Rated R Superstar” was presented with a special gift, which holds cultural significance from “The Celtic Warrior.”

An unconventional gift for Edge

Returning to his roots in Toronto, Canada, Edge triumphed over Sheamus in his hometown which was his apparent final showdown. Edge’s resurgence was largely attributed to the fiery Irish wrestler, Sheamus. But the pinnacle of this reunion came when the final curtain fell.

Sheamus offered Edge a shillelagh, a cherished symbol of Irish heritage that resonated deeply with both competitors.

While this clip was circulating on social media, Sheamus took to Twitter to add a reply to this clip. He replied by saying “Cut a stout blackthorn to banish ghosts and goblins.” This happens to be the lyrics of an Irish song “Rocky Road to Dublin.”

The blackthorn is often considered strong, and this line dedicated to Edge could probably mean he was wishing luck and strength to Edge for his future endeavors.

The conclusion of this chapter on SmackDown leaves Edge at a crossroads.

As his current WWE contract nears its end, the “Rated-R Superstar” deliberates on his next move. Retirement whispers flutter alongside talks of a potential new wrestling deal. Could Edge, whose Royal Rumble return stunned the world in 2020, find a new home in AEW, as insiders speculate?
