Edge, the Rated R Superstar, has been one of the most popular and successful wrestlers in WWE history. He retired in 2011 due to a neck injury but made a shocking return at the 2020 Royal Rumble.
Since then, he has been involved in some of the biggest matches and feuds in WWE, such as against Randy Orton, Roman Reigns, and Seth Rollins.
Edge has confirmed that his current contract with WWE expires at the end of this September.
