Edge says he needs to figure out his next step.
PW Torch.com‘s Wade Keller reported there was a belief in WWE that Edge was AEW bound. Keller said Edge allegedly presented terms to stay in WWE but the promotion turned down the request. Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com later said he’d confirmed the accuracy of the report.
Edge has taken to social media to comment on the reports about his future, stating that there’s no bad blood between himself and WWE. He went on to say that he has a contract offer waiting for him, he’s just unsure about what his future holds.
“I woke up to a bunch of voicemails, texts and everything from actual friends and family wondering what’s going on, concerned, blah blah blah. 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’ve ever wanted to do. I didn’t come at them with some crazy contract offer or anything. 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. This time, this choice is in my lap and it’s a lot harder. WWE gave me that night Friday in Toronto and it was the best night of my career,” Edge explained.
What’s Next?
Edge said some will push him to retire at WrestleMania or another major event, but it’s not their career. Edge said Friday night was special and he wasn’t sure if it could be topped. Either way, he needs to sit with that for a while.
“Whatever it is, whether that’s Percy Jackson, which is coming soon, or wrestling or it’s sitting in my rocking chair. It’s because I’m having fun. And having fun at this stage in my life and raising my kids are the two most important things. Hope that clears stuff up.”
