Edge and Seth Rollins delivered yet another brilliant match on WWE SmackDown and showed us why the writers decided to extend this feud beyond SummerSlam. Their last battle was flawless, and it ended with the Rated-R Superstar picking up a victory. Tonight, The Architect settled the score in a match that had the most compelling psychology and storytelling we have seen in a while.

Remember when Rollins said he needed to be more like Edge to beat him? That’s precisely what he did on WWE SmackDown tonight. He used Edge’s tricks against him while the veteran used every weapon in his arsenal. In fact, the latter’s performance was met with “You still got it” chants and deservingly so, as he kept coming back despite taking multiple brutal shots to his face.

The mind games, the subtleties, and ruthless attacks made for an epic encounter on WWE SmackDown. Rollins used The Stomp to seal his victory over Edge, but he didn’t celebrate. Instead, he appeared slightly confused about his actual feelings while Edge was rushed to a medical facility.

Their in-ring chemistry accounted for a great narrative, and it will be exciting to see what’s in store for both these superstars as we advance. Given that Rollins used a low blow to gain an advantage, we could see Edge return for a third and final match against The Messiah.
