AJ Styles vs. WWE Hall of Famer Edge is official now for WrestleMania 38.
For the closing segment of Monday night’s episode of WWE Raw, Edge came to the ring to address his WrestleMania future after issuing an Open Challenge last week. AJ Styles then came out and accepted the challenge.
Below is the excerpt from Mike Tedesco’s Raw recap of how Edge’s heel turn went down.
Edge goes for a handshake and then attacks Styles! Edge punches him to the corner, but Styles comes back with an overhead kick. Styles goes for a Phenomenal Forearm, but Edge avoids it and low blows him. Styles is down in pain. Edge mounts him and elbows away at his head. The crowd is booing Edge.
Edge looks psychotic and goes to leave the ring. Edge then goes to the timekeeper’s area and grabs two chairs. He puts one under Styles’s head and teases a con-chair-to. Edge thinks better of it and puts the chair down. Edge looks totally conflicted. Edge then hits the con-chair-to. The crowd is booing, and Styles isn’t moving. Edge looks down at the broken AJ Styles, his WrestleMania opponent. Edge then hits a second con-chair-to as the show ends.
