Edge did the unthinkable when he returned to the ring at the 2020 Royal Rumble, and since then he’s had some big feuds with names like Randy Orton, Seth Rollins, Finn Balor and Roman Reigns. The wrestling world seems thrilled about the fact that Edge got to add another chapter to his career, but everyone knows that it can’t go on forever.
Recently the Rated R Superstar talked about his future on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast and he made it clear that he doesn’t want to continue to go in the ring if he’s not able to hang with the younger wrestlers on the roster.
“I don’t want to stick around to the point where it’s like, ‘Oh, there he is. Okay.’ I don’t want to get there. When I come out now, I feel the explosion. I feel all of that to throw at them. That’s still there. I don’t know if that, for me, will ever go away. I feel like, in this last run, the Rocky Balboa movie, which I watched two nights before my comeback. I was in tears. (Sylvester) Stallone’s monologues in it, were all things that were going through my mind. I realized, ‘I gotta get this out of the basement,’ because I didn’t have the chance to end it the way I wanted it to.
This time, I’m going to get to do that. Now, I have two little girls that I have to spend the rest of my life taking care of. I have a wish list of things that are still to do, but it’s not long, and neither is the time. At most, I might have another year in me, to be able to do it at this level and still be able to do it at an elite level where I can still hang, where I have to get in with Austin Theory, who is 25 and wasn’t born when I had my first match in WWE.”
Edge recently picked up a big win over Finn Balor at WrestleMania 39 when he defeated Balor inside Hell in a Cell. There’s currently no word on what his next feud will be. Stay tuned for updates.
