Positive update for Edge’s future surfaces for AEW fans

The 49-year-old has been an important part of WWE for 25 years. Whether it’s the ruthless aggression or the modern era, fans have always admired the legendary status of Edge.

It’s because of his longevity and his incredible run after overcoming his injuries, fans find it difficult to let go of the superstar.

With him being such a priced commodity, both AEW and WWE would be desperately waiting for Edge’s ultimate decision. However, the latest updates might just tilt the balance in favor of AEW. According to WrestleVotes, Edge hasn’t signed a new deal with WWE. Addressing further, they also said that the ball is in his court.

While the update doesn’t give us a clear-cut answer, it certainly doesn’t stop people around to start making assumptions and predictions. With each passing day, fans are becoming more curious to know about his status and his eventual decision moving forward.

From Edge’s perspective, though, he has achieved everything possible in WWE. With him closing SmackDown in front of his hometown in Toronto, against a worthy adversary in Sheamus, it could signal his end in WWE, with a potential new chapter in AEW.

But why would Edge not sign with the promotion that has carved out an insurmountable legacy for him?

Why is Edge contemplating WWE contract renewal?

Whether one accepts it or not, the superstar isn’t getting young anymore. With each grueling match and putting his body through the grind, Edge’s body has taken a toll. While he still holds his own against young talents, he still feels the after-effects and the losing battle against time.

With so much at stake, the superstar wishes to live his last run with no regrets. Besides, Edge’s best friend Christian is in AEW. While Toronto was memorable, a part of Edge would still like to conclude his journey with his best friend with whom he has won many tag team titles during their run as a tag team.

Edge also passed his baton to Christian when he retired back in 2011, by helping Christian win his first world title. An angle with Christian in AEW could complete their arc and give Edge the retirement he deserves.

Even though the uncertainty still looms large, AEW can only hope to see the Rated R Superstar make a splendid debut in AEW. What do you think about the Hall of Famer’s latest updates? Do you think it’s time for him to hang up his boots?
