Edge remains in charge of his own destiny.
The WWE Hall of Famer is about to become arguably the most sought-after free agent in the world and this development has set social media on fire. While many expected Edge to re-sign with WWE and end his career with the promotion, the reality of the situation is very different.
Despite an offer being on the table from WWE, the veteran is yet to sign it, leaving the way clear for a stunning late-career switch to AEW. The star could even make his debut at WrestleDream on October 1st.
To add to the intrigue, Edge has been removed from SmackDown’s opening video package.
Writing in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer suggested the ball is in the court of the beloved star.
“Edge, a bigger name than all of them, might be interested in going, since his contract expires this week with WWE. He would have the most short-term value, although at his age that would have to be thought of as short-term. The fact Tony Khan feels Christian is so valuable right now at the same age and that AEW and Edge were negotiating a deal three plus years ago when WWE came back with a better deal would indicate on this one that the ball is in Edge’s court.”
Recently the details behind Adam Copeland’s AEW deal have been revealed.
When Did Edge Last Wrestle For WWE?
Edge last stepped in the ring on August 18th in Toronto, Canada. The former World Champion had previously expressed his desire to retire in the city and revealed the match was the last on his current WWE deal.
Interestingly, his opponent that night also hasn’t wrestled since. It was reported on September 25th that Sheamus has suffered a “really bad shoulder injury” and there’s no word on when he’ll be back in the ring.
