Eric Bischoff Weighs in on Edge’s Potential Move and the Wrestling Landscape
In a recent episode of “83 Weeks,” Eric Bischoff discussed the swirling rumors around Edge’s wrestling future. The WWE Universe was taken aback when Edge was momentarily removed from the WWE roster on their website. Although he was later reinstated under the ‘miscellaneous’ category, the brief removal fueled speculation about his next move.
Edge himself addressed the rumors, stating that while he has a contract extension offer from WWE in his inbox, he’s yet to make a decision. This uncertainty has led to further speculation, with some suggesting a potential move to AEW, especially given his close relationship with Christian, who’s currently with AEW.
While acknowledging Edge’s options, Bischoff pointed out the significant differences between WWE and AEW in terms of market presence. He emphasized that while AEW offers a platform, WWE’s global reach and brand recognition are unparalleled. Bischoff also praised Edge’s acting skills, suggesting that the Rated-R Superstar could have a promising career in television and film.
However, the allure of performing live, the adrenaline of the crowd, and the passion for wrestling might be factors pulling Edge towards the squared circle. Bischoff concluded by saying that regardless of Edge’s decision, it would be the right one for him, emphasizing the wrestler’s seasoned judgment and experience.
