Edge and WWE at Odds Over Contract Terms – The status of Edge’s wrestling career is not the sole consideration in the contract negotiations between WWE and the veteran superstar.

Recently, there has been much speculation about Edge’s future in professional wrestling, as his WWE contract reached its expiration this month. Although he worked his last match under his current deal in August, defeating Sheamus on SmackDown, he remains listed in WWE’s inactive pool alongside other wrestling legends and injured talent.

In response to rumors that WWE had declined to meet his contract demands, Edge took to Twitter to clarify that he had received a contract extension offer from WWE.

However, according to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio, Edge, like Drew McIntyre and LA Knight, is facing a significant gap in financial terms with WWE in ongoing contract negotiations. This financial aspect is a critical factor in the negotiations, and it raises questions about Edge’s future, particularly in the context of the recent trend of talent moving between WWE and AEW.

“It’s the same thing with Edge and McIntyre. Not that those deals are dead in WWE, but they’re not close on money. And that’s where it stands. It’s not like somebody, you know, whatever these people ask for. It’s not like it’s a rubber stamp even though WWE is loaded with money. Tony’s running a business. WWE is running a business. They have an idea of a salary scale. WWE can afford anything and anyone, but they’re not. They have a mental salary scale of what people in certain positions get. And some of the guys want more or think that they deserve something commensurate to people that the company thinks are higher level and they think they’re at the same level of. So that’s kind of the situation. And it goes again on both sides.”
