WWE Hall of Famer Edge is the newest addition to the AEW roster. The Rated-R superstar finally put a full stop to all the speculation and rumors as he made his official AEW debut tonight. Following his electrifying debut in the Climate Pledge Arena, Edge sat with CEO Tony Khan in the post-show media scrum. 

Speaking on the media scrum, Edge revealed how he managed to keep his AEW debut a secret. The 49-year-old star noted that he reached Seattle two days before WrestleDream PPV to shoot a video package with Darby Allin. He said, “We were in some sketchy neighborhood, Darby took us to some sketchy place, it was like, nobody here is gonna worry about, like, Adam Copeland is gonna be here kinda thing”, describing the place Darby took him to do the shoot.

After 14 hours of waiting, he ventured out for food and encountered a young fan at a burger joint. Despite trying to maintain a low profile, the encounter was a humorous reminder of his wrestling fame.
