Edge Addresses His Future Following Report Linking Him To AEW

Edge Addresses His Future Following Report Linking Him To AEW

On Wednesday afternoon, PWTorch.com reported that Edge, whose WWE contract expires at the end of September, was possibly AEW-bound, having had his contract extension demands turned down by WWE. And now Edge has taken to Twitter/X to address this report, noting that he never gave WWE any type of “crazy” contract request and revealed that he has a contract extension from the promotion waiting in his inbox.

“So I woke up to a bunch of voicemails, texts, and everything from actual, like, friends and family, wondering what’s going on and concerned and blah, blah, blah. So I just figured I’d better address it. There’s nothing going on. There’s no hard feelings between me and WWE. I love WWE. It’s my dream gig. It’s all I ever wanted to do. And I didn’t come at them with some crazy contract or anything, and they didn’t deny me. I have a contract extension sitting in my inbox. I just don’t know what to do.

The first time I had to retire, it was forced, and this time, the choice is in my lap, and it’s a lot harder. WWE gave me that night, Friday night in Toronto, and it was the best night of my career. A lot of people will say you should retire at WrestleMania or this or that, but it’s not their career. That Friday night was really special for me. And I don’t know if that can be topped, to be perfectly honest. And if we think we can, then great. But I need to sit with it and just know that whatever it is that I do, whether it’s Percy Jackson, which is coming up soon, or it’s wrestling, or it’s sitting in my rocking chair, it’s because I’m having fun. And having fun at this stage of my life and raising my kids are the two most important things. So, hope that clears stuff up.”

So, based on this, it certainly doesn’t sound like Edge will be headed to AEW anytime soon. It should, though, be noted the WWE Hall of Famer isn’t afraid to work fans when the situation calls for it, though. As back in 2020, he told the Live on 4 Legs podcast he wasn’t going to be returning at the Royal Rumble, and we all know how that tuned out.
