On August 20, Edge took to Instagram and reflected on the match. He made it clear that the experience was something he would never forget. The legend also praised Sheamus by saying he is insanely talented, spectacular at what he does, and the epitome of work ethic.

The post is as follows:

Full circle pints of Guiness. From Dublin to Toronto and 19 years in between. Back now after an amazing trip home to Toronto. What can I say? I’ll take that experience with me to the grave. Toronto you brought it. Speaking of bringing it, @wwesheamus is a beast. As strange as this sounds it was pure joy in there. Just two buds beating the hell out of each other. I knew he was great. But I didn’t know how great. That dude is so insanely talented, spectacular at what he does, and just a damn hard worker. He is the epitome of work ethic. Can’t teach that. Thanks fella. It was an honor.

In another interview, Edge stated that his WWE contract is not up until the end of September. Click here to see what he had to say.
