The belief within WWE has been that he was probably headed to AEW.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no hard feelings between me and WWE,\u201d Edge said (<a href=\"https:\/\/prowrestling.net\/site\/2023\/08\/24\/edge-comments-on-his-future-says-he-has-a-contract-renewal-offer-from-wwe\/\">h\/t to ProWrestling.net<\/a>). \u201cI love WWE. It\u2019s my dream gig. It\u2019s all I ever wanted to do. And I didn\u2019t come at them with some crazy contract or anything. They didn\u2019t deny me. I have a contract extension sitting in my inbox. I just don\u2019t know what to do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Our report indicated that WWE didn&#8217;t meet his initial offer. Edge doesn&#8217;t explicitly say that WWE met his initial offer, but rather WWE produced a offer for him which he hasn&#8217;t signed. Our sourcing indicates the offer he has from WWE does not match his initial proposal. If he is planning to look into a move to AEW, it will certainly help his negotiations if he has a standing offer with WWE also, even if it&#8217;s not exactly what he had initially proposed in the course of negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first time I had to retire it was forced, and this time, the choice is in my lap and it\u2019s a lot harder,&#8221; he said in his video message. &#8220;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\u2019s not their career. That Friday night was really special for me and I don\u2019t know if that can be topped, to be perfectly honest. And if we think we can then great, but I need to sit with it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>All indications are WWE and Edge are on very good terms, and if he doesn&#8217;t renew, there won&#8217;t be hard feelings on either side; it&#8217;ll instead be a case of Edge choosing whether to accept WWE&#8217;s offer or explore other options. He said he is having a great time at this stage of his life, but his kids are a priority.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust know that whatever is I do, whether it\u2019s &#8216;Percy Jackson,&#8217; which is coming out soon, or it\u2019s wrestling, or it\u2019s sitting in my rocking chair, it\u2019s because I\u2019m having fun. And having fun at this stage of my life that and raising my kids are the two most important things.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>RECOMMENDED NEXT: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2023\/08\/23\/cena-to-appear-on-smackdown-next-month-shortly-before-latest-movie-freeland-hits-theaters-also-wrestling-in-india-for-first-time\/\">Cena to appear on Smackdown next month shortly before latest movie \u201cFreelance\u201d hits theaters, also wrestling in India for first time<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>OR CHECK THIS OUT AT PROWRESTLING.NET:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/prowrestling.net\/site\/2023\/08\/22\/shane-helms-on-producing-the-sami-zayn-vs-johnny-knoxville-match-at-wrestlemania-38-the-possibility-of-a-new-hurricane-advising-nikki-cross-during-her-nikki-ash-run-working-with-the-rock\/\">Shane Helms on producing the Sami Zayn vs. Johnny Knoxville match at WrestleMania 38, the possibility of a new Hurricane, advising Nikki Cross during her Nikki ASH run, working with The Rock<\/a><\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1797190788\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p class=\"entry-meta\">\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-612629441\"><div id=\"pwtor-546357949\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Edge (Adam Copeland) has posted on social media today that he now has an offer from WWE to stay.
