So I’m seeing that WWE hadn’t activated the Rated R Superstar trademark since April 2020, three months after he returned?
Like…how? How? Did the first set of office releases in 2020 fire the people that were going to do that?
EDIT: Probably posted already so apologies.
This guy headlined Night 2 of WM the year after, how do you not nail that down the moment before he gets through the curtain at that ‘Rumble? It’s so weird.

The man gets the Grayson Waller rub and turns it into a big payday.
If we don't see him interact with OC then what's the point of life?

This is absolutely surreal to me. We have seen his buddies Christian, and the Hardyz switch promotions, but Edge has always been a wwe guy. I think this get is equal to the Punk signing. I think we get Edge/Christian vs the Hardyz at some point, maybe as a retirement match for all 4 guys

I totally get why, had to recut it and all, but watching the clip of his return again something that is really going to take getting used to is that it takes a second longer to get to the, "On this day..." part of his theme.

AEW is happy that he's there. WWE is happy for him and the door's open.
As long as you're not an AEW hater or a WWE hater then both company's reaction should be great for everyone.

Really you could already tell WWE didn't have any hard feelings because they figured he was going to AEW and responded by dedicating an episode of SmackDown to him where the show closed on him facing and beating a close friend.

Beyond excited. I never saw any of his recent WWE stuff as I had quit watching by then, so I haven't seen Edge since his retirement in 2011. This is a huge get.

Makes a bunch of sense for him, gives him fresh opportunities, and hopefully he got a nice deal from it.
Edge is a good dude. Hope he has a fantastic run and a lot of fun.

Good for him. I hope he has a great time and stays healthy.
I really haven’t enjoyed his stuff past the initial Rated R stuff, but I know how much people enjoy him, so I hope this works out.

Surreal is also the word I'd use, but it was also a very cool moment nonetheless.

It's in the best interest of both companies that they treat departures with respect at this point and it's applicable so they don't burn bridges There being a nice mutual respect system for when wrestlers go for a run elsewhere is probably for the best interests of wrestling as a whole and it not being viewed as some grand betrayal, which would definitely be a Vince thing lol

Never really been an Edge fan tbh, but good for him. He went out of WWE on top, after an amazing come back story, burnt no bridges and everyone just seems happy for him.
I think I'd have preferred a new song though, the lack of a presentation change means he still feels a bit stale and old, but I'm sure the new challengers and matches he can have will soon take that feeling away.
