Best RAW Main event in ages, just an absolute classic. It did so much to rehab Priest even in loss from the entrance to the match itself, and that was Edge's best match in ages too
They should absolutely be proud of that, they killed it with an electric crowd to match. When you can get them that fired up in hour 3, take a bow, you won.

****1/2
The wild brawling style added a lot to it.
The destroyer into the spear was devastating and amazing to watch.

Canadian Destroyer being the big match ending move (besides The Spear) ruled
And that's not mentioning the fact that it was Edge doing a Canadian Destroyer dude what the f***

Edge showing everyone he can still go with the best of them, and Priest back to proving why everyone was so fxxxing hype on him.
Great great stuff.

I was at the show and I dunno how it came off on TV, but it was a loud crowd in the building tonight.
I’ve been to a number of shows in Toronto with shitty crowds, but this wasn’t one of them.
The reactions to Edge and KO were thunderous in the building.

He definitely put some EXTRA into the spear and cooked him good!

The reactions to Edge and KO were thunderous in the building. The crowd was mic’d really strangely. A lot of us were wondering where the hype was. Glad it was there, even if it didn’t fully translate to the TV side

Makes sense that all those years he was protecting his neck and now it looks like he is able to do it relatively pain free

Edge/Priest was solid. Edge works better as a babyface now this late in his career.

It was only when Bianca came out that we could actually hear her.

Looks like Edge is retiring in August if next year makes sense 1 last run. Should be fun.

That was excellent, they made every moment count and that made the bigger spots even better. Even little things like the camerawork before the Razor's Edge on the outside showing Edge's expressions, it was great.

The reactions to Edge and KO were thunderous in the building. Was also at the show and can vouch for this. In terms of pops (all very close, mind you): 1. Edge 2. KO 3. Johnny Wrestling (once we knew what was up) 4. Trish 5. Lashley

The fact that Edge's retirement has a firm date and location on it a year from now feels big. Like that show is gonna be packed no question.

I feel like both guys really needed this match to be as good as this.
