The Rated R Superstar, Edge, recently put the fans in suspense after announcing his departure from the ring in Toronto. He faced Sheamus during the SmackDown episode, who bid him goodbye with a great match. Following the match, Edge delivered an emotional message to the Toronto audience.
While fans considered it to be Edge’s last appearance in the city, many claimed that he deserved a better goodbye. This also started a wave of speculation that this was not the end of his pro wrestling career. However, things have now seemed to clear up on the matter.
PWInsider took the lead in providing an update about his professional wrestling career. “Copeland is no longer listed internally on either the Raw or Smackdown roster,” it wrote. Edge will no longer be an active participant in the company but will still be signed to the same. “There is a belief in certain circles that he may be AEW-bound,” the reports added.
Edge‘s signing to WWE will keep him a part of the company, just like Big E and Braun Strowman, whose appearances are limited. While it will take time for the fans to process their favorite star’s absence from regular television, the reports have seemed to provide them with a sense of relief.
Should The Rated R Superstar, Edge join AEW?
Ever since his last appearance in the WWE ring, Edge has been rumored to join AEW. While a major chunk of the audience is eager to see him join Tony Khan’s promotion, some fans do not want this to happen. Moving to AEW would mean ditching his legacy at the Stamford-based promotion.
The fans couldn’t control themselves over the latest updates about Edge. “Gonna ruin his legacy with WWE for some extra bucks,” wrote one fan. “The rival really does not taste well,” another fan said, expressing his dissatisfaction.
“I’m not believing it til I see it,” another fan complained. However, fans have been excited to see Copeland join forces with his former rival and best friend, Christian Cage. “Edge in AEW could be interesting,” a fan acknowledged. The only thing that hypes up the fans for his AEW debut is the connection that he has with Christian Cage.
A reunion of the two stars would leave all the fans screaming at the top of their voices. Apart from this, the match is sure to break all the charts. It is only a matter of time before things become clear with regards to his move towards AEW.
