Edge: WWE didn’t deny me, I have contract extension ‘sitting in my inbox’
Edge has addressed recent reports regarding his future.
According to a report from PW Torch and later confirmed by our own Dave Meltzer, WWE believes Edge is AEW-bound after his contract expires at the end of next month. WWE is said to have “declined to meet Edge’s request” for what it would take for him to re-sign with the company.
Edge posted a video to social media on Thursday refuting some of these claims. He stated that he “didn’t come at them with some crazy contract” and that he has a contract extension offer from WWE “sitting in his inbox.”
“I woke up to a bunch of voicemails, texts, and everything from actual friends and family wondering what’s going on and concerned and blah, blah, blah so I just figured I’d better address it,” Edge says in the video. “There’s nothing going on. There are no hard feelings between me and WWE. I love WWE. It’s my dream gig. It’s all I ever wanted to do.”
“I didn’t come at them with some crazy contract or anything. They didn’t deny me, I have a contract extension sitting in my inbox. I just don’t know what to do. The first time I had to retire it was forced, and this time, the choice is in my lap and it’s a lot harder.”
“WWE gave me that night Friday night in Toronto and it was the best night of my career. A lot of people will say you should retire at WrestleMania or this or that but it’s not their career,” Edge continued. “Friday night was really special for me and I don’t know if that can be topped, to be perfectly honest. If we think we can then great but I need to sit with it.”
