Edge, the WWE and the Toronto Maple Leafs are back with another new shirt ahead of a Smackdown taping this Friday.
World Wrestling Entertainment is celebrating 25 years of superstar Edge and the Toronto Maple Leafs are once again involved in a merchandise collaboration.
Edge (real name Adam Copeland) took to X (formerly Twitter) and posted a shirt that will be available for sale when the WWE returns to Scotiabank Arena in Toronto this Friday for a Smackdown taping.
The shirt features the Toronto Maple Leafs logo that they have used since 2017 along with horns. In the middle is a skull that has been one of Edge's symbols in past merchandise associated with the wrestler.

Last summer, Edge competed in his first match in Canada in over 12 years when he returned to Toronto. It was his first visit to Scotiabank Arena and the city since the COVID-19 pandemic that began in March 2020. To commemorate the return, WWE and the Maple Leafs collaborated on a new shirt that was only available that night, the first of its kind with a superstar and the hockey team.
Edge will take on WWE superstar Sheamus, someone he has never wrestled before. Edge returned to the ring in 2020 after a neck injury initially ended his wrestling career in 2011. In the lead-up to their match, Edge explained how a mountain biking incident he experienced as a guest on Sheamus' Youtube show helped him realize his body can take the hard falls that come with wrestling maneuvers.
