Edge Update: His music, WWE/AEW, name, more
Added 2023-10-01 20:00:03 +0000 UTCIf Edge is to be believed, he’s now a free agent, and no longer in WWE.
Well before that, tons of talent within All Elite Wrestling and WWE were of the belief that Edge was heading to AEW when his deal was up. As far back as mid-August, there were AEW wrestlers who said they heard he was coming in, even before his last match. As recently as this past week, a veteran WWE talent said it was a “lock” that Edge was going to AEW.
Edge had claimed that all of this matches had been used up on his WWE deal and that it would be up on September 30. Edge was taken off internal active rosters, but remains on the WWE.com Smackdown roster. Those are often not updated until public statements are issued on departures.
One source that we spoke to does not believe that WWE owns exclusive licensing rights to Metalingus, as it appears on their One Day Remains album, but another said that there can be exclusive rights reached, though WWE likely never felt it necessary. However, they were quick to point out that the “You Think You Know Me” sample did originate in WWE, but could be re-recorded. WWE no longer has a license to Rob Zombie’s “Never Gonna Stop,” in which Edge used for quite some time. One source with knowledge of the situation said that they believe if Edge wanted to use almost any Alter Bridge song, that they’d probably all work to make it happen.
WWE does own the name Edge, and he’d not be able to use that any more.
Comments
Call him Edge Cage to play on how he and Christian used to be billed as brothers, or even as a mind game situation akin to when Billy Gunn called himself Kip James in TNA to mess with BG James.

2023-10-02 01:03:01 +0000 UTCIt’s not even a surprise or anything to be happy about for some people. It’s either they get what they totally expect or they’ll be pissed off.

2023-10-01 22:36:54 +0000 UTCI honestly think the opening riff of that song will get a bigger pop because of the nostalgia factor

2023-10-01 21:36:56 +0000 UTCThat's the problem with fans today - if things don't happen how they fantasy book things in their uneducated minds, they call it bad. Logic doesn't work like that.

2023-10-01 21:35:59 +0000 UTCBoth Bryan and Swerve consider Seattle their hometown's as well, in Bryan's case cuz Aberdeen has no arenas to wrestle in. Considering the name is Wrestle Dream and Bryan/ZSJ is being promoted as a dream match that seems the likely main event... except for the arrival of ADAMMMMMM!!!!!!!

2023-10-01 21:32:53 +0000 UTCI mean he can just go worth his name Adam Copeland which is fine but Sexton Hardcastle is so much better

2023-10-01 20:59:04 +0000 UTCDarby Allin is from Seattle, Christian Cage is currently the best heel in the company, and this match is a 2 out of 3 falls match to blow off a long-running feud.

2023-10-01 20:56:57 +0000 UTCIt’s a singles title match. It seems a little extreme to suggest that they’re promising Edge because the TNT title is the main event.
Jason
2023-10-01 20:52:30 +0000 UTCIf he doesn't appear and that happens thats on AEW for putting Christian/Darby on last. No reason to not put Bryan or Swerve's match last based on it being in Seattle and the build being better for Hangman/Swerve

Adam Bowers
2023-10-01 20:27:34 +0000 UTCUnfortunately feel like people will crap on the show tonight if he doesnt appear even though its not promised. Even if he does come in (which is still debatable) it may not be tonight anyway.

2023-10-01 20:21:52 +0000 UTCNever Gonna Stop all the way. That was my favorite era of Edge as a singles guy.

2023-10-01 20:18:56 +0000 UTCAnyone know how to spell Edge without actually spelling it Edge? Lol

2023-10-01 20:18:49 +0000 UTC"Never gonna stop" would go so hard tonight
.
2023-10-01 20:17:40 +0000 UTCJust bring him in as Adam Copeland using "Never Gonna Stop" as his theme. It's by Rob Zombie a big name in music which AEW is quick at getting rights to. Then again they may already have acquired it. LOL

Joshua G
2023-10-01 20:08:35 +0000 UTCHe's going to either be Adam Copeland or Adam Edge I imagine (similar to Christian Cage)

2023-10-01 20:08:01 +0000 UTCFeels like if they could get Final Countdown then making a deal with Alter Bridge shouldn't be too tough. Music rights can be a pain though.

2023-10-01 20:06:12 +0000 UTCThis is great info SRS! But any inkling if he’ll show up tonight?
Zack Gallagher
2023-10-01 20:05:21 +0000 UTCWe’d probably not know based on the way they’ve dealt with stuff before. Khan’s private jet followed by a blacked out car followed by hiding in a private dressing room

2023-10-01 20:05:16 +0000 UTCI won’t be watching the show tonight but I’ll my notifications active in case Corner does emerge

Excellence of Flexecution
2023-10-01 20:03:39 +0000 UTCIs he going to use his real name, Adam Copeland. Or one of his former ring names (Sexton Hardcastle (Indies) or Damon Striker (WCW)).
