Edge Believed To Be AEW-Bound After WWE Turned Down His Contract Request

Edge, whose real name is Adam Copeland, appears to be leaving WWE and may join AEW.

Edge defeated Sheamus in his final match on his current WWE contract last Friday night on SmackDown, which was promoted as a celebration of Edge’s career.

Next month, when his WWE contract expires, there has been talk about whether he will retire, re-sign with them, or join AEW.

Wade Keller of PWTorch is reporting that Edge presented WWE “what it would take to retain his services, but WWE declined to meet his request. This has sparked a belief within WWE that he is probably headed to AEW and knew at that time what AEW could offer him (based, perhaps, on conversations with other wrestlers of his star power about AEW pay).”

Christian Cage and FTR are just a couple of the friends Edge has in AEW.
