Edge has said that he has a contract offer from WWE in his inbox.
Fightful Select published the following report on Edge on August 19:
However, there are many in AEW that think that Copeland coming in could be a real possibility. Those close to him claimed earlier this year that the idea of him working in AEW isn’t as “out there” as you’d think. Obviously, Edge is close with Christian, but also Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler, who helped him prepare for his in-ring return.
Beyond many in AEW thinking it could be a real possibility, it was being discussed by a lot of people in AEW even before Edge claimed the match with Sheamus would be his last on his contract.
It’s worth noting, WWE has been much more quiet about contract extensions, re-signings, and even releases or contract expirations.
Tony Khan was interested in bringing Edge before it was even known that it was fully possible for an in-ring return back in 2019. Edge contacted Vince McMahon and explained the discussions, and McMahon wanted the return to be in WWE if it were to happen. WWE set up meetings with doctors and test to get approved, which led to his return.
Fightful will continue to update fans on Edge’s status as more is known.
