Edge will compete in his first match on WWE SmackDown for the first time in almost two months against a recently drafted star.

Tonight on the blue brand, Edge returned to make an appearance on the Grayson Waller Effect. Waller teased that the former WWE Champion had a huge announcement. The Rated R Superstar started talking about his experience in Madison Square Garden. Waller interrupted him to say that the WWE Hall of Famer's huge announcement is that he is retiring from the ring.

An annoyed Rated R Superstar then reminded Waller that he has been on the main roster for a short time and he hasn't even had a match yet. The WWE Hall of Famer then informed that he has a match tonight against Waller to end the segment.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
