While speaking in a podcast on the “FAN Morning Show,” Edge disclosed the status of his contract in WWE, addressing the rumors surrounding it.

This new report has sparked a whirlpool of speculation that Edge could head towards AEW. Tony Khan’s promotion can offer him a handsome contract to sign the Rated-R superstar. The AEW President has been a big fan of the Ultimate Opportunist, which might prompt him to add Edge to his roster.

Along with that, Edge’s long-time close friend Christian Cage is also working in the same promotion. AEW can pair the two superstars to take fans down memory lane. Moreover, the Hall of Famer might also be looking to wrestle Christian in his retirement match, which looks possible only in AEW.
