Edge made WWE history when he won the first-ever Money in the Bank briefcase at WrestleMania 21, then cemented his spot at the top when he cashed in the contract on WWE Champion John Cena at New Year’s Revolution in January 2006. The “Rated R Superstar” called his shot after Cena successfully defended his title in an Elimination Chamber match against Shawn Michaels, Kurt Angle, Kane, Carlito, and Chris Masters. Masters, who had his first run in WWE from 2005 to 2007, recalled on “Insight with Chris Van Vliet” how no one knew that Edge would cash-in after their match.

“Honestly, none of us knew about Edge coming out after. None of us knew. I mean, Shawn probably knew, I guess,” he explained. “I just remember that day, Carlito just being kind of like, just thinking the finish was odd, because it just would have been a roll-up. Cena just rolls up Carlito, that’s it. He just kept saying, ‘Something’s not right…’ Then we’re out there, and Vince [McMahon] comes out, and then Edge. I didn’t suspect anything. I don’t even know if I thought about it, but Carli knew something was off.”

Masters said that he thinks the less people who know, the better, especially nowadays. He said it’s not about being secretive or disrespectful, but rather, the less people knowing is good, because everything gets reported now, especially with the rise of social media.

Current ROH Men’s World Champion Bandido has not been seen in AEW since his loss to Andrade El Idolo at AEW Revolution on March 15, and the question of when fans might see him at any sort of event is a bit more complicated than originally thought.

Bandido has recently had to cancel a number of independent appearances across the United States, and according to Dave Meltzer in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, that is down to a visa issue that has yet to be taken care of. However, it’s currently unknown how long that issue will take to be remedied due to President Donald Trump’s recent ruling where visas for athletes competing in the United States from countries that aren’t usually issued visas now being allowed, something that was introduced to coincide with the 2026 FIFA World Cup. All major sport leagues in the United States fall all under this ruling, including AEW, WWE, and UFC, and while this ruling doesn’t seem to apply to those coming from Mexico, Bandido’s future in the United States is currently unknown as the visa process has become a lot more complicated than what it used to be.

With all that said, there is a chance that AEW fans could see Bandido in the coming weeks thanks to the fact that all of the company’s shows in the first half of April take place in Canada, somewhere Bandido would be allowed to perform even without a visa. This does mean that Bandido would in theory be able to perform at the upcoming Dynasty pay-per-view on April 12 in Vancouver, but outside of the brief window in April, AEW’s next show outside of the United States that has been officially announced is All In London at Wembley Stadium on August 30. It’s unlikely AEW would want to wait that long to bring Bandido back into the fold, but as previously mentioned, it’s unknown when this visa issue will be sorted out.
