I still think it’s BS. they’re being far too kind on the way out. If he was going to AEW he wouldn’t be doing The Bump and stuff of that nature. I mean Bryan Main Evented Mania and had a world title match with Roman on his way out

Bryan and Moxley were both featured quite a bit on their way out. It's possible they just aren't overly bothered by it. They don't really want to use him outside of a midcard attraction, if AEW want to pay him more and he wants to go... why not let him? We seem to be past the days of desperately trying to hoard every wrestler in North America.

I assume it's like Christian, and they just aren't bothered if Edge has an AEW run
He's basically done all he can in WWE, and I don't think there's anything else to really do so... leave on good terms, have one more run with Christian somewhere else, I doubt WWE's mad about it.

Edge should have lost to Finn Balor at Wrestlemania. I didn't really care for Edge much in this last run. My kids, who didn't see him in his prime, are very indifferent about him.

If that’s true then good I’m glad we’re getting past the days of trying to hang onto every last relic when the new regime should be the one getting the spotlight.
Can’t say that Edge has been particularly entertaining to me this last go around but good on him for making a comeback at least….

If he does go to AEW, I really hope he dusts off the Sexton Hardcastle name. He could even mention it doesn't even matter because everyone knows him.

If Edge goes to AEW, even as soon as All In, it will be HILARIOUS if he and Christian both joined AEW like a week after being beaten down by Sheamus lol

Posted this in the AEW contracts thread, but it can go here too seen as it involves Edge and the rumours he asked for big bucks as he knew WWE would say no, but Tony would say yes.
I think Tony should likely calm down on signing big named old stars before he turns AEW into the wrestling retirement home ala WCW - and before anyone starts, I am aware they have great young talent currently featured and so far it has only been a handful of older guys crossing over, but if more and more old WWE guys see the money signs flashing and contact AEW to get them some when WWE deals expire, you know Tony will start booking them over most of his own younger talent, just like Bischoff did, because the names will be the draws for the eyes AEW doesnt currently tap in to.
I'd prefer both companies maintain a steady and healthy business than one suddenly burn hot and bright, then die on it's arse cos it's talent can't go anymore and the fans have already given up. History repeats.

History repeats. Being fair I do think AEW's largely been pretty solid about that. The only established name I'd really say noticeably runs roughshod over the company or makes people look bad is Punk (and Jericho in the early days but that's eased off), and most of the others tend to fall into more supporting capacities or at least can be pretty giving while still headlining. ... Granted I personally think the way they use Sting is also pretty shitty in how he just kind of crushes everyone in his path while not really factoring at all into title scenes or anything but most people love that so whatever.

From the man himself. Admittedly, I'm very quickly softening my "no way he's going to AEW stance," especially after this video, but I don't think it's at Wembley. We'll see. He seems to dispel some of Wade's reporting on contract disagreements, though.

Considering that he got an unexpected 2nd run, got to wrestle alongside his Wife, headline a WM and have what could be his last match in his hometown...I actually think he's going to decide to call it quits

Edge is such a classy guy. I’m happy he got that moment in Toronto & whatever he decides to do next I wish him the best. Hope he stays happy & healthy for a long time to come.

I mean Bryan Main Evented Mania and had a world title match with Roman on his way out It was Bryan's last WWE match (to date), even. I made a thread about it wondering this the week before. All the amazing predictions I stand by (like Reigns not losing his title anytime soon), all the nonsense bits (like Reigns losing to Big E) were obviously jokes, err.

Lol. People still writing this? This is soooo....2020.
I don't know, I think Edge could actually retire for good.
