by Adam Copeland/Edge is one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. He has wrestled a lot of matches in WWE.
The whole pro wrestling world got shocked when Edge made his return to WWE in 2020. Edge wrestles a lot of good matches after returning to WWE. And later Edge leaves WWE in 2023.
Adam Copeland/Edge recently was on Insight with Chris Van Vliet podcast, where he talked about why he chose AEW over WWE in 2023.
“It felt like I’d done everything that I was going to do with WWE. I’d worked the people I’d wanted to work, 95% anyway. And it really just felt like they were in a direction and I was in a direction and they were kind of going separate ways. I wanted to be with this limited window that I have, I wanted to be involved. I wanted to be there kind of on a weekly basis in order to tell proper stories, and it’s tough to do that popping in and out every three months or so. And I also get the idea of, well, that keeps it special and I understand that. But again, I’m working with such a limited timeframe here that I got to go while I can go. And I looked at the roster and I just thought man, so many people that I’ve never laid hands on and been in the ring with.”
“The one that seems to blow people’s minds is Samoa Joe. In all the years that him and I have both been wrestling we’ve never touched. Then I see Moxley and I see Claudio and Bryan and I have never had a proper singles. Swerve and Hangman. And then if you look at the tag teams, FTR, Young Bucks, Penta and Fenix, man, that’s just the tip of the iceberg, let alone all the young guys that have already wrestled since I’ve been there. It’s just really exciting and almost feels, I don’t want to say I feel like a kid again because I think that saile. But I’m just having fun. With each match I’m going to try something I’ve never tried before.”
“I was against Brody King the other night, I’ve never done a blockbuster, I’m going to try that blockbuster. Never done a Davey Boy powerslam, let me try that. It’s fun to get out there and just try new things, especially at this stage of the career. But I think in working new people, and a whole roster of new people that I don’t know, it’s just opened up my brain to all the different possibilities.”
