WWE higher-ups would be ‘surprised’ if a top star jumps to AEW despite speculation

Following a report last week, there has been a lot of speculation among fans regarding a potential reunion of Edge and Christian.

Edge signed a three-year deal with WWE for $3 million per year in early 2020, with time likely added to it due to time missed because of injuries. Christian went to AEW in 2021 after being medically cleared that same year and worked the 30-man Royal Rumble match.

As previously reported, there was talk of Christian wanting to do one more tag team match or run with Edge in WWE. The only problem is time; it depends on Christian’s contract status with AEW.

Also, Edge has stated that he wants his last match in his hometown of Toronto. He doesn’t have a timetable yet for his retirement, and there are currently no premium live events slated to take place in the city.

After the report came out, some had speculated that if Christian still had a lot of time left on his deal with his AEW, then perhaps Edge could make the jump to All Elite Wrestling.

WrestleVotes told GiveMeSport WWE higher-ups are not expecting Edge to do that.

“If he retires the summer in Toronto, I wouldn’t be surprised. I would be surprised if he finishes his current deal and then goes to AEW, WWE would be surprised too. Even though you’ve got Christian factor, you know, they could team one more time and wrestle each other one more time, I’d be surprised if he wrestles past WWE. WWE would be very surprised as well.”
