WWE Raw Star Says Match With WWE Hall Of Famer Will Be ‘Hard To Top’

WWE

WWE Hall of Famer Edge has only wrestled a handful of times on WWE television since his historic return back at the Royal Rumble in 2020.

Edge wrestled his first match in his hometown of Toronto in over a decade on August 22, 2022, where he defeated The Judgment Day’s Damian Priest in the main event of the show.

In a recent interview Witty Whittier, Priest spoke about having the honor of facing off against Edge in Toronto, saying that it would be a hard moment to top in his career.

He said:

“That was a special one. To this day, it’s going to be hard to top that. I’ve had great moments and great matches with Balor, Sheamus, Drew McIntyre, tons of guys that are top notch performers, but this is main event of Monday Night Raw, in Toronto, against Edge in his first singles match in like a decade on Raw. It’s Edge, a Hall of Famer, a mentor, we were friends, not friends on air.

“There was a lot of emotion that went into this match. We went out there and I’m grateful, so grateful we were able to deliver. When you talk about somebody who has a limited amount of matches left and you’re one of the people granted an opportunity to work with that person, it’s a lot of pressure and an honor. A lot of pressure in the fact that I can’t fail. It’s a WrestleMania type situation, you can’t fail at this. I’m glad we went out there and we banged. We threw heavy leather and did the best we could to put on a great performance for the fans. The fans were awesome and we were hyped. I don’t think there was anything that could stop us from going out there and having a banger. To this day, it’s my favorite match I’ve had in my WWE career,”

Priest, as well as the rest of the Judgment Day stable, were praised backstage for their recent performance on the January 9 episode of WWE Raw, with Priest wrestling for nearly an hour in the gauntlet main event.
