When Edge was kicked out of the Judgment Day by Finn Balor, Rhea Ripley, Damian Priest, and, eventually, “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio, it began the slow but steady transition from a full-time heel manager to a part-timer with no viable path to the main event picture, let alone the mid-card titles. Discussing his addition to the […]

After weeks and weeks of anticipation, plus a pretty sweet sendoff match with Sheamus, it finally happened: Edge, or, should I say, the man formerly known as Edge, Adam Copeland, made his long-awaited debut in AEW. That’s right, taking the ring at the end of WrestleDream with a Darby Allin-produced vignette to announce his arrival, […]

After waiting through four hours of pulse-pounding, hard-hitting, and occasionally head-scratching wrestling, thousands of fans in Seattle, Washington, and hundreds of thousands more watching from all corners of the globe watch on the edge of their seats at Christian Cage and Darby Allin beat the absolute you-know-what out of each other in the main event […]

There are 10 matches on the WrestleDream card, 14 if you count the four bouts on Zero Hour, and yet, maybe the most interesting aspect of the show isn’t who will come out on top in each of these matches, but instead which outside stars could debut on the show, as, according to Tony Khan, […]

When news broke that Edge would become a free agent after failing to agree to a long-term contract with WWE, fans the world over hoped to see the “Rated-R Superstar” make his way to AEW if for no other reason than to reunite for one last ride with his long-time tag team partner, Christian Cage. […]

When news broke that Edge’s contract was coming to an end in WWE without a new deal officially secured, fans immediately started to wonder if the man born Adam Copeland would join his long-time friend Christian Cage in AEW. On paper, the idea would go a little something like this: after being sent to pasture […]

As Edge prepares to decide on what he wants to do next in his professional wrestling career, be that retirement, a return to WWE, or a jump to AEW, the “Rated-R Superstar” stopped by the Brotherly Love podcast to discuss his career, his injury history, and, most interestingly of all, his match with Mick Foley […]

While everyone and their wrestling-loving mother is seemingly falling in love with the idea of Edge jumping ship from WWE to AEW, with fantasy bookings ranging from the “Rated-R Superstar” taking the belt off of MJF, to serving as a much-needed locker room leader, to even another title reign alongside his life-long best friend Christian, […]

After being the subject of heavy speculation following the final match of his current contract with WWE, with some suggesting that the promotion turned down his contract request and, as a result, he’s AEW-bound, Edge decided to take to Twitter to clear everything up, making sure that, for as much uncertainty lies ahead, he could […]

With the final match left on his WWE contract officially wrestled and his exact out date, though technically unknown, rapidly approaching, Edge is nearing what might just be the most important decision of his professional wrestling career: what’s next? Will the “Rated-R Superstar” stick with what he knows and re-sign with WWE, even if it’s […]

When Edge took the ring against Sheamus on his special 25th Anniversary Edition of his SmackDown, fans had a pretty good idea that it might be his final full-time match as a member of the WWE Universe, especially when news broke that his current contract was rapidly coming to an end. WWE produced a touching […]

Though he spent Edge’s 25th Anniversary celebration on SmackDown working a very different angle, scheming over ways to get back the United States Championship he felt was “stolen from him” due to some – albeit questionable –  interference from Rey Mysterio, Austin Theory still had plenty to say about the “Rated-R Superstar” when he stopped […]

After working a maximum effort match against Sheamus in the main event of a special SmackDown broadcasted live from his hometown of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, fans watched with bated breath to see if Edge would unlace his boots as the crowd watched on in horror before leaving them in the ring as the time-honored sign […]

In a few short hours, fans may see Edge wrestle his final match in the WWE Universe, as he prepares to take on Sheamus in a first and potentially last-ever match-up between the “Rated-R Superstar” and the “Celtic Warrior.” Now sure, Edge may not fully retire, as he could sign a new contract with WWE […]

When Edge takes the ring on SmackDown, he will be celebrating 25 years in WWE. Originally debuting for the promotion under the Edge moniker in 1998, two years after he worked his first house show under the very 1996 moniker Sexton Hardcastle, the “Rated-R Superstar” was an Intercontinental Champion by 1999, a seven-time World Tag […]

After taking part in a ten-minute love fewest with his behind-the-scenes best friend Edge in the lead-up to a match booked SmackDown next week, Sheamus and the Brawling Brutes stopped by the backstage area of the Scotiabank Saddledome to talk turkey with Kayla Braxton before hitting the pubs in downtown Calgary, Alberta. Officially landing the […]

Though he wasn’t scheduled to appear on SmackDown and the three-man debuting commentary team of Corey Graves, Kevin Patrick, and Michael Cole even highlighted his future 25th Anniversary Celebration on the next edition of SmackDown, Edge decided to show up in Calgary, Alberta, Canada to discuss his past, his present, and his future in the […]

In professional wrestling like in life, nobody stays at the top forever; even the greatest WWE Superstars will eventually start to show their age, and in their place, young stars like Grayson Waller who are hungry to establish their own legacy will make their main roster debuts in the hopes of taking one of those […]

Though Grayson Waller has wrestled exactly two matches on the main roster in WWE, three if you count house shows, the 0-3 Superstar had title matches on his mind when he stopped by the MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani, going so far as to name off some very famous people that he would like in […]

Jim Ross has called more wrestling moves than most fans will ever remember. In his extensive career in the professional wrestling business, which now spans six decades, Ross has watched something as simple as a bodyslam going from a finisher that could headline WrestleMania to a maneuver deployed by any greased-up muscle man – or […]

After main eventing his debut match on the main roster at Madison Square Garden on SmackDown, Grayson Waller was feeling himself. Sure, in the immediate aftermath of the match, morale wasn’t too high for the “Sydney Stunner,” but as the days have passed and his accomplishments have come into focus, Waller’s in great spirits, announcing […]

July has been very, very, very good to Grayson Waller. Ever since he opened up about his broken leg and welcomed Logan Paul onto a special edition of The Grayson Waller Effect, live from London, England – which technically took place on June 30th, but I digress – the “Down Under Wonder” has worked an […]

After an incredible evening at Madison Square Garden, capped off with a career-spanning appearance on The Grayson Waller Effect and a commanding win over the “Arrogant Aussie” in his main roster debut, Edge was riding high. Twenty-five years after first working a show at the most famous arena in the world, securing a mixed tag […]

After being slow walked onto the main roster due to a broken leg, having to solely take part in talk show segments for The Grayson Waller Effect, Grayson Waller was thrown off the deep end in a major way over the past week, working with Logan Paul, getting in the ring with John Cena sans […]

After taking part in arguably the most important segment of his career at Money in the Bank, going back and forth with John Cena for well over 10 minutes in a conversation with the leader of “Cenation” about which international location would be a better venue for a future WrestleMania, London or Australia, Grayson Waller […]

On-screen, Finn Balor hates Edge; the “Prince” dislikes how he handled The Judgment Day, going so far as to kick him out of the group on the same day he joined it, dislikes his babyface turn, and really dislikes that he had to receive more than a dozen staples to the head after a botched […]

Johnny Gargano has been a member of the WWE universe since 2016, when he reported to NXT after a decade on the indies wrestling for everyone from PWG to Dragon Gate and even Evolve, which served as a developmental system for The Fed for a few years. And yet, Johnny Wrestling’s relationship with one of […]

On June 22nd, 1998, Edge made his debut on Monday Night RAW when he took the ring against Jose Estrada Jr. and secured a win in roughly one minute via count out. Now granted, this wasn’t Edge’s actual first match for The Fed, as he was doing work as enhancement talent all the way back […]

For a young Canadian wrestler-in-training like Sami Zayn, there were few performers as aspirational as Edge, the Orangeville, Ontario, native who came up on the indies before becoming the “Rated-R Superstar” under the watchful eye of Vince McMahon. Originally debuting in the ring all the way back in 1993 under his real name, Adam Copeland, […]

It started with a silly name. What exactly did the name “The Judgment Day” really mean? Wasn’t that the name of a former WWE pay-per-view? Was the newly formed faction going to be this era’s version of The Brood? Which in retrospect wasn’t that successful of a wrestling stable as everyone previously thought. The Judgment […]

Seth Rollins is a lot of things; he’s a “Visionary,” he’s a “Revolutionary,” and he’s the first and current WWE World Heavyweight Champion, having won the strap at Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia. But is Rollins underrated? In the humble opinion of Mick Foley, the answer to that question is a responding yes, as, […]

More often than not, WWE comebacks are a welcome sight. They inject more flavor into the storylines with a mix of nostalgia and second chances. Throughout the years, we’ve seen wrestlers make successful comebacks such as Cody Rhodes, Drew McIntyre, Chris Jericho, Brock Lesnar, and many others. Although some comebacks have become successful, that isn’t […]

On April 11, 2011, WWE superstar Edge announced his retirement from professional wrestling due to a neck injury. At the time, Edge was World Heavyweight Champion and was forced to relinquish the belt. The WWE Universe wouldn’t see Edge compete in a match again until Royal Rumble 2020 in one of the most shocking returns […]

After watching Paul “Triple H” Levesque announce the first four picks in the 2023 WWE Draft, with Roman Reigns, Paul Heyman, Solo Sikoa, and Bianca Belair heading to SmackDown and Cody Rhodes and Becky Lynch staying put on RAW, WWE took a page from the WWE’s playbook and brought in special guests to announce the […]

After bouncing around the main roster following a dominant run in NXT, Rhea Ripley found herself in an interesting spot in the later spring and summer of 2022, when she officially joined Edge and Damian Priest in The Judgement Day. Sure, she’d already had a successful run as the RAW Women’s Champion and found success […]

Which WWE Superstar turned in the greatest Money in the Bank cash-in of all time? While far from the most pressing “GOAT” question in the WWE Universe, what with talk of Mount Rushmore and championship reign supremacy perennial hot topics within the fandom, the question of who best turned in the briefcase, inserted themselves into […]

Many expected that the blow-off Hell in A Cell match between Edge and Finn Balor in Wrestlemania 39, months after Balor helped Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley kick the Rated-R Superstar out of the Judgment Day stable, to be a heated bout. After all, beyond Balor’s betrayal, the Judgment Day were also responsible for inflicting […]

When the cage was lowered as the sun began to set over the semi-enclosed roof of SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, fans knew that Edge’s match against “The Demon” Finn Balor at WrestleMania 39 was going to be special. For the first time in seven years, a Hell in a Cell match was scheduled for […]

The Rated R Superstar Edge is a legend in the world of professional wrestling. Edge has been competing since 1992 and made his WWE debut in 1997.
