Sheamus Heard Edge’s Last Match In WWE Was Supposed To Be Against Damian Priest

On August 18, 2023, Edge (Adam Copeland in AEW) competed in his final WWE match against Sheamus. The bout took place in Toronto, and it was heavily implied that it would be his last match as he was set to make a decision about his future with the company as his contract was reportedly expiring.

Speaking on OTB Football, Sheamus was asked about facing Edge in his last WWE match.

“I loved it. It actually wasn’t going to happen. We pitched it and it didn’t look like it was going to come to fruition because there were a couple of other things going on. I guess, his final match was supposed to be against maybe Damian Priest. That’s what I heard. I don’t know for sure. That all changed and it ended up being me and him. At the time, we didn’t even realize it was going to be his last match. He was trying to figure out what he wanted to do. It was a match we never had. It was great, so easy, and so much fun. It was in Toronto, the crowd was insane. Beth Phoenix and his daughters were there. It was awesome,” he said.

Edge would end up signing with AEW a couple of months later.
