— WWE Hall of Famer Edge took to Twitter this morning to address the report from yesterday that suggested that he presented WWE with a contract offer that was declined, all but pushing him to the direction of free agency. Speaking on the topic, Edge had the following to say:
“Morning everybody…I woke up to a bunch of voicemails, texts and everything from actual friends and family wondering what’s going on and concerned and blah, blah, blah so I just figured I’d better address it. There’s nothing going on. There are no hard feelings between me and WWE. I love WWE. It’s my dream gig. It’s all I ever wanted to do and I didn’t come at them with some crazy contract or anything. They didn’t deny me, I have a contract extension sitting in my inbox. I just don’t know what to do. The first time I had to retire it was forced, and this time, the choice is in my lap and it’s a lot harder.”
“WWE gave me that night, Friday night, in Toronto and it was the best night of my career. A lot of people will say you should retire at WrestleMania or this or that but it’s not their career. That…Friday night was really special for me and I don’t know if that can be topped, to be perfectly honest. If we think we can then great but I need to sit with it. And just know whatever it is that I do, it’s because I’m having fun and having fun at this stage in my life and raising my kids are the two most important things so hope that clears things up.”
