Sounds like he may have resigned.
He was taken off the internal roster following his Last Smackdown. Now he has been re added.

Hopefully he sticks around for a few more years I guess we shall find out? There are also people saying he is debuting next week in AEW? But I thought his contract wasn’t up til the end of September.

I wouldn't mind if he went to AEW but I really wanna see him end his career in WWE... maybe he'll go to AEW for 2/3 years and then return to WWE for a final run and officially retire after that.

Him and Christian Cage working together would be cool. Maybe have tag team match with Hardy's. I just have a feeling that Edge, at this point and knowing the type of guy he is, would love to ride this career home teaming with his lifelong best friend. Knowing they can have their self-proclaimed dream match of wrestling FTR. Edge getting the chance at some dream singles matches if his body is up to it. Also, knowing you basically have total freedom and complete creative control of everything you do after a frankly lackluster WWE run. There were parts of Edge's most recent run that were special but it was an odd one. It certainly didn't feel like a GOAT-level star returning a lot of the time. It was too bad that it just happened to coincide with the pandemic beginning, and then he's injured for about 9 months. In there he has that awesome feud with Roman and Danielson, and then Roman 1v1. He had that good feud with Rollins with truly one of the best HIAC matches ever. But that was spread over 3 years. There was so much junk in there. His AJ feud was pretty forgetful and his role in Judgement Day was just poorly written. He went in and out of teaming with Rey and taking on Judgement Day for MONTHS, like a neverending feud that culminated in a (in my opinion) abomination of a Hell in a Cell match with Balor. Somewhere in there you mix in a feud with the Miz that was dead on arrival. These things may not seem like blunders on paper but...you have EDGE BACK on obviously BORROWED TIME!! Seemed so dull to be so careless with his position on the card. It was a mixed bag. I think Edge could've left on better terms if left up to his own devices. Some of his run was snake bitten but frankly some of his run was just not as good as it should've been because of the current creative process at WWE. Not sure what else he has to offer WWE, at this point. Just looking back at how he's been utilized before, I don't think he does much more that will have an impact. I say let him get a proper nostalgia run in AEW doing completely fresh matches.

My only complaint about his last run is he spent so much time feuding with Balor and the Judgement Day. I've made my thoughts about Balor being one of the most boring people on the roster today pretty well known here.

I say let him get a proper nostalgia run in AEW doing completely fresh matches. I believe Edge can still put over guys like Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre. Especially if Rock is wrestling again with Reigns, Cody could feud with Edge (assuming Orton is still out) and would continue to build Cody. I think a big PPV match with McIntyre would benefit him as well. Just a few ideas since Edge only wrestled a handful of matches per year.

Especially if Rock is wrestling again with Reigns, Cody could feud with Edge (assuming Orton is still out) and would continue to build Cody. I think a big PPV match with McIntyre would benefit him as well. Just a few ideas since Edge only wrestled a handful of matches per year. Oh totally. There's a great list of opponents left for Edge and plenty of stories for him to tell left in the WWE. But I think there was a big failure in some ways by WWE's creative and ability to write for a character like him. He had some very questionable angles that just made me scratch my head. I know the opportunity is there but I don't think the powers at be would make a continued Edge run very memorable or special, just because they've shown over the last few years that they're willing to let a white hot legend go cold because they just don't think ahead enough to have opponents lined up. Basically, in his first two years back, his opponent list was: Orton, Roman/Usos, Daniel Bryan (but not a singles match), Seth Rollins, and the Miz. I know he had a long period rehabbing an injury in there, but we are talking 18 months of availbility and we only got 2 "past versus present" opponents in that time in Roman and Rollins. There's some good in there...but I would think if you know you have a bonafied legend on borrowed time, you'd get some more matches off. Not to make this AEW VS WWE in any sorts, but I'd compare this to something like CM Punk's initial return. He was wrestling new people all of the time and they didn't waste much time having him face off with people who he had already wrestled during his first run in wrestling. I know that changed and he had bouts with people like Samoa Joe, etc. But it was a balancing act. I felt WWE played way too safe and didn't deliver on the entire premise of bringing back a Hall of Famer to the roster. My expecations would be dream match city and it fell far short of that, and it wasn't because Edge couldn't deliver.

The presale code for WrestleDream also has the cover for Rob Zombies "Never Gonna Stop Me" song that Edge used for awhile. Interesting stuff to say the least.

The pre-sale for AEW WrestleDream tickets happens today at 10 AM local time with the code EDGR95.

I think his stock in WWE during his return run seemed to level out pretty quick. Despite him being in that returning legend role, where you expect him to just feature 3-4 times a year for some nice, quick dream match feuds, he just still seems to feel like an everyday TV kind of guy. His last 1-2 years were pretty forgetful, the Judgment Day stuff dragged for an eternity. It did seem like they were priming him to be the inaugural World Heavyweight Champion, which IMO would have elevated the Belt from the start, and would have added huge interest and stock in every one of his Title Matches knowing that as soon as he loses, he'd retire. But, it all just fizzled out, he went away for a little while, and that ended up being that, so I do wonder if that's when the seeds for his exit were planted.
He's got nothing at all left to do in WWE, and for someone that prides himself a lot more on his in-ring work, he may as well at this point head to AEW. At least despite his age, there are still a few fresh, high-profile matches for him to have with Bryan Danielson, Kenny Omega, Jay White, John Moxley etc, and plenty of Tag Matches as E&C. It really would do him well, it's just how much longer he can really go.

Off the Smackdown intro video. He's gone. But will he help Christian beat Darby tomorrow. THAT is the new question.

Would be shocked if the aew ppv doesn't end with edge showing up, hopefully he has some entertaining matches left in him in this final run.
i didn't really enjoy most of his last wwe run, actually fell asleep during his wm match with styles. Too many of his matches I thought were too slow, too many stalling spots.
