A few days ago, WWE announced that Edge would be returning for the Smackdown 1000 episode. It was announced that he will be hosting a special edition of ‘The Cutting Edge’ on the show.
In a weird turn of events, WWE is no longer advertising Edge or the segment for the show.
WWE has removed the original article from their website that announced Edge would be on the show. The article link now redirects to the ‘shows’ page on WWE.com. Here was WWE’s original announcement:
“Edge returns for a special edition of “The Cutting Edge” at SmackDown 1000
The Rated-R Superstar is coming home.
Edge is returning to host a special edition of his talk show “The Cutting Edge” next Tuesday as part of SmackDown’s historic 1000th episode.
The WWE Hall of Famer was responsible for many of the blue brand’s greatest moments, whether it was stepping up as one of the SmackDown’s premiere Superstars after the initial brand split in 2002, his unforgettable Money in the Bank cash-in on The Undertaker or running roughshod over SmackDown with General Manager Vickie Guerrero in his corner.
What will he have to say? Find out when “The Cutting Edge” returns during SmackDown 1000, next Tuesday at 8/7 C on USA Network!”
It is unclear what exactly happened here. We will let you know if we hear anything more on Edge’s status for the episode.
