#2 Edge
When Daniel Bryan gave his emotional and heartfelt speech announcing that he would be retiring from professional wrestling, it brought memories of Edge's retirement speech flooding back. "The Rated R Superstar" also had to cut his career short thanks to a build-up of injuries.
Edge's announcement came a lot more suddenly than Bryan's however. In the main event of WrestleMania XXVII the WWE Hall of Famer successfully defended the World Championship against Alberto Del Rio. Most wrestlers would love their final match to be the main event of Mania, and unbeknownst to us for Edge it was.
A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.
The next night on Raw, Edge came to the ring on Raw and revealed to the WWE Universe that injuries were forcing him to retire. It came as a real shock to everybody and later that week on SmackDown he would officially relinquish the World Title.
