The 900th episode of SmackDown is shaping up to be a big one.

WWE already announced last week that The Undertaker will be in the house on Nov. 15 in Wilkes-Barre, Penn., for the show. On Tuesday, another WWE Hall of Famer was added to the bill.

Neck injuries forced Edge to retire in 2011 and he’s made periodic appearances outside the ring since then, while mostly working as an actor.

• Edge talks about the difference between acting and wrestling

Edge’s appearance next Tuesday will be a special edition of his “Cutting Edge” talk show with Shane McMahon, but you never know what else WWE could have up its sleeve.
