WWE Hall of Famer Adam “Edge” Copeland’s contract status with the company has been the subject of much speculation recently. His WWE contract was set to expire at the end of this week, and there have been ongoing discussions about his future in the wrestling world.
In an intriguing development, it has been reported that Edge has been removed from WWE’s internal roster, according to PWInsider.com. While he is still listed on WWE.com’s public roster, internally, Edge is no longer listed as part of the company.
This situation has raised questions about Edge’s status and potential plans. He recently wrestled what was thought to be his last match under his WWE contract, facing Sheamus on Smackdown in August in his hometown of Toronto. However, Edge later hinted that he had a new contract extension waiting for him if he chose to sign it, leaving his future with WWE uncertain.
It’s worth noting that Edge’s removal from the internal roster occurred earlier this month. Although he was briefly added back to the “miscellaneous” list, which includes talents who are injured or not part of the regular roster but have a connection to WWE, Ringside News exclusively reported that he was never actually removed and added back. Instead, he was simply moved within the internal roster structure.
As of October 1st, Edge is believed to be free to sign with any wrestling promotion, and there have been rumors of interest from All Elite Wrestling dating back to 2019. WWE eventually cleared Edge to return to the ring for a memorable comeback at the 2020 Royal Rumble.
Fans and the wrestling world will be eagerly awaiting news about the future of the WWE Hall of Famer as his contract status unfolds in the coming days.
