I can definitely see Edge going to AEW to team with Christian for a while before he retires.

I can definitely see Edge going to AEW to team with Christian for a while before he retires. Man, I just don't see it. Edge has been a WWE guy through and through. Unless there's been some bad blood that we haven't heard about which developed during this last run, I think it's more likely something happens tomorrow that sets up the beginnings of a Mania 40 program and his actual retirement. It doesn't really make sense given what Christian's been doing on AEW TV lately, either. He's as heel as heel can get, he's not a babyface that keeps getting outsmarted in need of help. Maybe I'm wrong and Metalingus hits at Wembley next weekend or something, but I don't think he'd leave WWE now. |

I think Edge would be very interested in a swan song tag match with Christian against FTR, who he’s friends with. Not saying it would be an imminent jump, but something that happens later this year or next year. |

Maybe I'm wrong and Metalingus hits at Wembley next weekend or something, but I don't think he'd leave WWE now. I don't think it'd even be a bad blood thing if Edge decided to jump ship but more like Bryan Danielson who wanted a change in scenery but left on good terms. And outside of very early in his career when WCW still existed, Edge never exactly had the option to go elsewhere. Like, Christian was seen as an upper carder/quasi-main eventer at best around the time he decided to be the first major WWE guy to join TNA. Edge on the other hand was in the middle of his main event world champion prime. Even if there was mutual interest in joining TNA, they probably couldn't match what WWE offered in paycheck or prestige.
As an elder statesman-type? I don't know if he'd jump, but his best friend being over there, his association with FTR, and competitive pay to what WWE would offer probably makes AEW more attractive to him than other companies would in the past.

I get what you're saying, but this also just feels like fans hyping themselves up for disappointment. Lots of folks in other parts of the internet world already running with the "oh man, he's going to be at Wembley!" take. |

That seems unrealistic unless his contract literally expires between Smackdown on August 18th and Wembley on August 27th, in which case I don’t think WWE would be using him for a match this week. |

I mean, if you're to believe that this is the last match on his contract, then it's fair to assume that deal is up? I don't know. I personally just think it's him getting people speculating to bring more intrigue to tomorrow's show. |

I personally just think it's him getting people speculating to bring more intrigue to tomorrow's show. I think unlike others he’s contracted for a certain number of matches per year in his deal. If he reaches that number, I don’t think the contract necessarily ends immediately, I just think he’s fulfilled all of the dates. But yes it’s certainly possible this is to get interest in the match, and maybe there’s even an angle where he’s attacked by a heel to kickstart his next major feud. |

Don't care if Edge stays or goes, I just want him to be healthy and happy.

This does help contextualize some of his booking this year post Mania which is keep him as a big deal but no real long term story with sporadic appearances. It also explains why this match has a lot of emotion behind it on camera given it's the potential last match he'll have in WWE and the fact that this isn't absolutely the case so they can't advertise it as such and really sell it as much as they normally would.

I just don't buy the WWE doing a huge celebration/marquee match for someone about to leave. I hope he does, because him teaming with Christian in AEW is more interesting than anything he can do on WWE currently. I don't expect it all, however.

If anything it was more of the storylines he was part of that people had an issue with like feuding with the Miz instead of working with an up and comer |

It would be the worst thing in human history if Edge came to AEW and had a face team with Christian. If he came to AEW and had a heel team with Christian that would be pretty good. If he came to AEW and had a match with Christian that would be alright too, as long as he lost.

E&C v Bucks v FTR v Acclaimed at All In 2024. None of that TLC stuff though, not with Edge's neck and Christian's concussion history, those days are long behind them.
With the Usos split up there's only really New Day left as 'dream opponents' should it be Christian who makes the jump for the reunion. I suppose E&C V KO&SZ works with their hometowns having a bit of a rivalry but I reckon Owens and Zayn will quietly part ways after they lose the titles.

I kind of feel like the Rumble Edge won was kind of enough of a goodbye to the Edge and Christian team really. I'd definitely love to see them team again but they got to have a lengthy run together there where one of them won big, it's a perfectly fine bow on that part of their careers if that's all there is.
