Edge made a surprise appearance on the Summerslam kickoff show. He interrupted Elias, who was talking trash about Edge’s hometown of Toronto. This led to Edge delivering a spear to Elias to close the segment.
Not only was Edge showing up a surprise but it was also wild to see him get physical in the ring. This was the first time since he retired that he has hit the spear.
Edge took to Instagram to share an emotional post about his return.
Here is what he wrote:
This week was emotionally tumultuous. I hadn’t been back to Toronto since my mom’s funeral. I’d been putting off coming up here and taking care of some things. But when I heard Summerslam was in Toronto and I knew Beth had NXT work to do, I decided it was time to come home. It was difficult. It was draining. It was therapeutic. It was cathartic. I saw some family. I saw some friends. Cried a little. Laughed A LOT. Found some things I thought were lost forever. Last night I had one of those “fairy tale” moments. I was also reminded that no matter what happens in life this will always be…home.
