“That Was Rated-R for Graphic Violence”: Wrestling Fans Rejoice as Edge Turns Heel for the First Time in Over a Decade
It’s official now; The Rated-R Superstar Edge will face The Phenomenal AJ Styles at WrestleMania. Edge appeared on the last week’s episode of Monday Night Raw to give an open challenge to wrestlers for The Biggest Show of the year.
During his last week’s promo, Edge hinted at the WWE Universe of whom he wants to face at WrestleMania 38. The rumors were flying all week long that AJ Styles is the man who would face the WWE Hall of Famer.
The Rated-R Superstar slammed this week’s Raw episode by wanting someone to accept his WrestleMania 38 challenge. So lights turned off, music popped, and entered The Phenomenal AJ Styles.
Both Edge and AJ Styles admitted inside the squared circle that they had wanted this match for a long time. However, Rated-R Superstar then fired insults at Styles by mentioning that he wished to face the old “bulldog” version of Styles that was a World Champion and not the “tag-team b**tch” that functioned with Omos last year. WWE Monday Night Raw turned upside down on their last segment.

The drama between The Rated-R Superstar and The Phenomenal lasted until Edge turned heel! Edge then hammered Styles with a cheap shot a brawl broke out between the two. However, The Phenomenal One tried to fight back his way; unfortunately, Edge cut him off with a low blow.

In addition, Edge later grounded Styles and pounded punches on his face. No one saw it coming when ultimately Rated-R Superstar snapped to the next level and delivered two Con-Chair-To on AJ Styles’ skull.

The Rated-R Superstar laying Con-Chair-To’s twice on Styles was a callback from 2020 where The Viper Randy Orton shot Edge with Con-Chair-To.
