Edge Confirmed For WWE NXT Debut This Week
WWE Hall of Famer Edge is teasing an appearance on tomorrow's WWE NXT episode on the USA Network.
Edge took to Twitter this evening and noted that he's currently in Orlando to visit his wife, WWE Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix. Beth calls the weekly NXT shows with Vic Joseph and Wade Barrett.
"In Orlando to visit my wife. Then I had a thought, @WWENXT needs to get #RatedR," he wrote.
As noted before, Edge is set to make his return to SmackDown on Friday's show, and it's believed that he will be challenging WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 37. He returned to action at Sunday's WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view and won the Men's Rumble Match, and then defeated Randy Orton in the main event of last night's RAW.
7PM UPDATE: WWE has confirmed that Edge will be appearing on NXT tomorrow night but there's no word yet on what he will be doing.
