Back in 2020 Edge did the unthinkable when he came out of retirement and entered the Royal Rumble match, and he once again shocked the wrestling world when he won the Royal Rumble in 2021 then went on to main event WrestleMania. It’s safe to say that Edge has been on a roll ever since he returned to the ring, but it also seems that his time is limited.
During an interview with Steven of Steven’s Wrestling Adventure the WWE Hall of Famer talked about his in-ring future and he indicated that he will be stepping away in a few years.
“Won’t be ten (years), definitely won’t be ten. I doubt it’ll be five, it’s gonna be before that. I don’t even think it’s going to be three. I don’t know, but I don’t think it’s going to be that long. I know the window is small.”
Edge also talked about his first retirement, and about what returning to the ring and working with younger talent means to him, but he reiterated that he likely won’t be around for long.
“As I started feeling good and attacking life again, eight years later, nine years later, I started realizing that it was a possibility to come back and finally get that last three years and try and help young talent on the cusp, teach them a couple little things. To do it against a whole new era, to get in there with Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and these guys that don’t need my help but it’s exciting to get in there with them and try to hang with them in this stage of my life and career. I know it’s not going to last for long and I only have so much in the tank to be able to do that. I want to get out before you start going, ‘his tank is getting low.’ I want to get out while people still have fond memories.”
Edge picked up a big victory over AJ Styles at WrestleMania 38 on Sunday night, and he recently formed an alliance with Damian Priest. Stay tuned for more updates as they become available.
