This new title is a call back to the championship that had defined Edge’s career, even if it isn’t part of the presentation on TV. He isn’t just the conversation for the most well-known World Heavyweight Champion with Triple H and Batista he leads it. Instead, he surrendered it, and when he returned, the Universal Championship had replaced its heavyweight predecessor after Randy Orton retired the belt in the years after Edge’s retirement.īeyond retiring with the title, Edge is a seven-time World Heavyweight Champion. However, it looks like Big Gold and sounds like Big Gold we can be reasonably sure of what it is. Unfortunately, Triple H has been less than transparent about whether this is THE big gold World Heavyweight Championship or just a new title with the same name that looks a lot like it. This new title looks suspiciously like an old title. In his viral Instagram post, Edge said what most wrestling fans thought. The Rated R History of the World Heavyweight Championship What they do at SummerSlam, or whenever he calls it quits, will likely be good, but taking his title back and carrying it until his last match would have been great. Having him lose the belt properly to a talented challenger in an excellent match would go a long way to erase the painful memory of his first retirement. Additionally, fans saw him retire once before, so honestly, expectations are high. That reality is hard for many wrestling fans who grew up watching Edge, but it makes his matches more exciting and builds fan interest if this is his final run in the company. There are also a few possible contenders for shows he could announce his departure from this year. Seth and other deserving champions have got more time, but the lead-up to this summer may be all that Edge has left.Įdge made it clear in his promo that the end is near.
SummerSlam, though may be the last match of Edge’s career if he plans to leave in Toronto. Rollins or anyone else could easily win the title and go on a lengthy run to WrestleMania. Since the surprise Edge return at Royal Rumble, it’s all felt like borrowed time for the ultimate opportunist and his fans. In the weeks after SummerSlam, Friday Night SmackDown will emanate live from Scotia Bank Arena in Toronto. Rollins is also very popular with fans and has been for quite a long time at this point. He is the only Monday Night Raw superstar competing for Raw’s top prize. Seth Rollins is probably going to with the title. Timing has yet to be WWE’s strong suit in 2023, but this is an obvious example of their failure. However, WWE writers didn’t change their minds. His promo changed perceptions and resulted in a sort of urgency that he gets one last run. He has done this before, but there has always been a Judgment Day match or significant premium live event to keep Edgeheads complacent. He went on Instagram, talked around a foregone conclusion to a confusing draft-destroying tournament, and ignited interest online in a poorly planned concept. That strategy doesn’t account for the facts, Edge had built real support beyond his usual nostalgia. The primary reason why WWE missed another moment with Edge is that they just made a plan and are sticking to it. WWE Miss a Moment with Edge in the World Heavyweight Title Tournament Edge’s Support Was Organic However, a good idea doesn’t negate a great one, which is why it’s a shame that Edge didn’t win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship tournament. In this case, there is another option that will likely still have support from the WWE Universe. While the programming has been better overall, this seems to be a feature and not a bug in the Triple H era. This marks the most recent scenario where some people got incredibly excited about an act to have their support ignored. However, WWE missed another moment with Edge in the World Heavyweight Title Tournament. It is easy to pass judgment online about a wrestling storyline, but often what is presented on television is entertaining even when it misses fans’ expectations.
