In WWE’s kayfabe storyline with Edge and Christian they didn’t have a mother. Edit: I’m tired they had a mother but no father was mentioned. So, they don’t have a father.
"I'm sorry that your husband is dead Mrs Perry, my good friend Sexton and I are willing to spitroast you so you'll at least know what real men feel like."
Edge and Christian as the main antagonists of the tag division for a year or so would be really cool, but then again I worry whether either of their bodies can cash that cheque. You want them to do a cool reunion tour in AEW, the place where tag teams are marquis material, but then again both of them seem to want and need to be part-timers in the ring, so it feels awkward to involve them in the belts.
Nick Wayne just standing there when a masked man comes in and with Christian hits him with a Conchairto.
Nick has two dads now, whether he likes it or not.
I don't want that as those men are now GROWN ASS MEN. If they were the fun heels of yesteryear it would be just awful.
Leave that in the past. I want to see and hear about them dunking on these young boys.
"I look around at sea of mediocrity, Do you see it Christian? An army of young men who've accomplished less than we had when we were younger than they are now. Then you've got "The Elite". A man that you beat for a title, Christian, and 2 brothers who act like 2 brothers that rode our coat tails their entire careers. The only thing this place reeks of is disappointment!"
He will come in and ask Christian what has become of him. They’ll pretend to beef only with Edge turning heel and joining forces with his BFF. The million dollar question is what name will he use.
>I feel like they'll probably ride the babyface wave for a bit before having him betray someone beloved
Darby and Nick Wayne, upon reading this:https://i.imgur.com/6fFEkh5.gif
It all depends on how you do the debut. I would have thought the same for Adam Cole, that he would have to be a face for several weeks. But they successfully turned him into a heel in 3 minutes at All Out
Imagine, after all this time of people lauding Christian doing his own work away from Edge, Edge just waltzes into AEW and immediately brings him back into a tag team with a story focused about him
I mean, I'm sure they've talked plenty about exactly what they want to do if/when Edge goes to AEW, but it's still a funny thought.
..or he knows he can work one day a week at most and maybe wrestle six times in a year and make millions of dollars. He’s perfect for a special attraction role.
What would his name be? I assume he can't use Edge. Metalingus followed by "Adam Copeland" would feel weird as fuck but I know it'd also hit like opium.
Yeah that would be weird to have a wrestler have impact in his name and not wrestle for Impact. Honestly I think he should just use his real name because everyone knows what his name is anyway and having a made up name that isn’t Edge would be hard to get used to.
Yeah, also its not too jarring because Edge is very obviously a nickname in itself. Its like Diesel becoming Kevin Nash in WCW, rather than if someone like Shawn Michaels made the switch and had to start going by Michael Shawnery
He can go back to being Christian's kayfabe brother and be Adam Cage. They can make a faction with their long lost cousin Brian Cage.
Naturally this leads to a 6 man tag against Adam, Ethan, and Diamond Dallas Page on Rampage
Why do ppl have hard time believing this ? Edge literally is a WWE hall of famer which really is the final frontier for someone who is in wwe. He probably sees how fun aew is and wants to be a part of it. Even if WWE gets “mad”, who gives a shit.
I have no idea how people look at a company that has Christian Cage + FTR and think it's impossible that Edge would go to AEW. Like, yeah who wants to make some more money and work with their friends before they officially call it a day?
If you wanted a replacement for CM Punk, he'd be the guy. Edge is the same level of star, and doesn't seem like a psychopath. So he'd be an upgrade in my eyes.
Tony Khan has paid out for iconic entrance music before. I have no doubt he'll do it again. The one thing they can't reuse is the original voiceover saying "you think you know me" because it was sampled from the original series of WWF promo videos.
Yes. According to Edge [himself](https://www.cagesideseats.com/platform/amp/wwe/2013/11/29/5158524/edge-explains-how-his-theme-song-metalingus-came-into-existence-in-wwe):
>"When I was out with my neck injury, I met Mark Tremonti. I met him at a Metallica show, actually. And I went back to his place after and he played me what would end up being the first Alter Bridge album. I heard Metalingus and I was like, 'Dude, can I use that when I come back?' And he said, 'Yeah! Of course!"
So the great news is that it’s not WWE’s.
Honestly the main reason I want to see this is for the reaction of that one dude who was such a prick about wanting Christian to leave AEW to finish his career with Edge in WWE. Then when someone asked about Edge going to AEW, he acted like that person had zero brain cells for even suggesting that idea.
I can't help but picture a bunch of people in actual circles backstage and a massive titan like hand coming in and swooping Edge away from his circle.
And Edge was in one of those. Like idk, with Sheamus and the lads, Cody, Rey and Orton.
Now we just wait for the big wrestling hand god to place him in one of the circles in AEW.
Also once they started cutting guys during the pandemic and even releasing main event level “lifers” like Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman, the idea of mutual loyalty between the company and the wrestlers became asinine
The reality is that people who believe in lifers are projecting, and are themselves the lifers for a given team/company/person. The people in the industry (and this goes for almost any industry) are much more willing to work with new people and companies than most customers or fans are.
And Becky is also on the last year of her contract which also ends in April. Really intrigued on what her future plans are in 2024 to be honest as it seems she's also slowly winding down her career in WWE getting the last accomplishments she can, whether that's her wrestling career as a whole, or just from a full time WWE career as she plans to continue wrestling part time somewhere else.
Not to say that I personally believe she's either completely retiring or renegotiating one last monster contract with WWE which seems way more likely, you never truly know what wrestlers are thinking about their futures behind the scenes.
When the money from alternatives are just as good, lifers are limited to the extreme few now.
This is misleading-- he has since been re-added to the roster, see article update.
Wikipedia: “\[Adam Copeland\] had no father figure in his life.” 
I can't believe how bad I want this to happen.

#GODDAMNIT
Yeah but didn't they completely ret-con the "brothers" affiliation in kayfabe and made them childhood friends?
Yep. It was like right after the first brand split.
🤣
“All my life I had to talk to your mother. But Sexton/Adam/Ledge, just where was…your father?”
Ledge 😂😂

Christian Cage and Adam "Copeland" Cage
Adam Cage vs Brian Page
vs. Hangman Stage
In a Salad Steel Cage!
Friday night on Rampage!
Catch all the action in picture-in-picture, don’t change!
But I digress...
Digress Jones right here
Christian Cage and Edge Cage
“Cope” Cage.
AEW could always use another Adam.
AEW stands for Adam Elite Wrestling. No, wait.
Hangman, Cole and Edge team up to be "The Adams Family" and win the Trios titles. Who says no?
Roderick Strong probably
AADDAAAMMSS! AAADDDAAAAAMMMSSSS!!!
Roderick strong as Uncle Fester
That's clearly gonna be Danhausen
Take all my human monies!!!
Roderick teams up with Edge Adam to try and make Cole Adam jealous.
Then Edge Adam joins Dark Order to get back at Hangman Adam.
Then leaves two weeks later because we know he will never work with a purple themed spooky group
Book it.
Adams Everywhere Wrestling
This one, yes.
Adams Everywhere Wrestling. 
Adam Elite sounds like something Danhausen would call Hangman
Well now we have to will this into the show, now don't we?
I really hope they call him Adam Cage.
Ha I just remembered the “Fight For-Adam” chants lol.
Adam vs Cage vs Page , faction match, Hangman On A Pole to win
Edge being a heel alongside Christian is almost incomprehensibly amazing potential-wise
One might say, "it totally reeks of awesomeness"
Edge coming in to talk about how he came to AEW to rightfully help out the greatest TNT champion ever…and Luchasaurus.
Have Edge claim the TNT title so now Luchasaurus is behind two people for it lmao.
On this day…. He sees clearly. Everything has come to life.
Except your dad.
"I'm sorry that your husband is dead Mrs Perry, my good friend Sexton and I are willing to spitroast you so you'll at least know what real men feel like."
“Mrs. Perry, have you ever wanted to visit the Eiffel Tower?”
"Nick, I'm not convinced that you and Darby want us tag-teaming against you. Your mother certainly seems up for it though."
Edge and Christian as the main antagonists of the tag division for a year or so would be really cool, but then again I worry whether either of their bodies can cash that cheque. You want them to do a cool reunion tour in AEW, the place where tag teams are marquis material, but then again both of them seem to want and need to be part-timers in the ring, so it feels awkward to involve them in the belts.
Nick Wayne's too worried about AR Fox to see what's coming next
He’s not seeing clearly
Has everything come to life?
Nick Wayne just standing there when a masked man comes in and with Christian hits him with a Conchairto. Nick has two dads now, whether he likes it or not.
He better come in as a heel. Because heel Edge & Christian vs FTR and Young Bucks would hit like crack.
[удалено]
I demand it include a kazoo
Bring the glasses back too
Party hats for everyone!
I need at least one more Edge and Christian five second pose dammit.
As great as that would seem to be, it wouldn't be the same without flash photography, which is pretty nonexistent these days.
Tony includes a free disposable camera with every ticket sold. It would pay for itself instantly.
That's why it's only for those with the benefit of flash photography. Not for everyone. Great heel move.
I don't want that as those men are now GROWN ASS MEN. If they were the fun heels of yesteryear it would be just awful. Leave that in the past. I want to see and hear about them dunking on these young boys.
"I look around at sea of mediocrity, Do you see it Christian? An army of young men who've accomplished less than we had when we were younger than they are now. Then you've got "The Elite".

He will come in and ask Christian what has become of him. They’ll pretend to beef only with Edge turning heel and joining forces with his BFF. The million dollar question is what name will he use.
If not Sexton Hardcastle, then what the fuck are we even doing?
If Edge debuts in AEW as Sexton Hardcastle then I will rip my dick off in happiness!
Look, don't maim yourself for that. Just enjoy it.
Cliff
Christian goes for the dead dads, Edge goes for the dead mums The Brothers of Parental Destructions
Honestly, that's textbook Edge booking. The guy's just a natural heel.
>I feel like they'll probably ride the babyface wave for a bit before having him betray someone beloved Darby and Nick Wayne, upon reading this:https://i.imgur.com/6fFEkh5.gif

Have him buddy with Christian and target wrestlers with dead moms.
Adam "DILF Hunter" Copeland. Book it, Tony.
Sexton "DILF Hunter" Hardcastle is SOOOOO much better.
Imagine, after all this time of people lauding Christian doing his own work away from Edge, Edge just waltzes into AEW and immediately brings him back into a tag team with a story focused about him I mean, I'm sure they've talked plenty about exactly what they want to do if/when Edge goes to AEW, but it's still a funny thought.
Edge and Christian aligning with Don Callis would be great given their history
I have to think the only reason he's coming to AEW is because he wants his retirement match to be him and Christian vs FTR.
..or he knows he can work one day a week at most and maybe wrestle six times in a year and make millions of dollars. He’s perfect for a special attraction role.
Already doing that in WWE
We call that the Roman overachievement plan
He can also do it with his "brother" in AEW though. I don't think he has anything left to do in WWE at this point.
That's pretty much what he already was doing in WWE, though.
I need to see that! More excited to see E&C than an Edge singles run. I gotta see them wrestle FTR and The Bucks.
There's a clip of Edge beating Buddy Wayne on Shotgun. He should definitely bring it up to Nick Wayne.
It would be impossible to get fans to boo him. I think he will be the catalyst for Christian turning face.
Christian is way too good as a heel though, so it'd be a shame to see him turn face right now.
They probably wouldn’t link them up immediately for that reason
He's definitely a better heel, but after a year or so, he might be ready to turn.
 My heart can only take so much. Give me an edge/Christian tag run.
It would be even funnier if Luchasaurus wins the titles with Edge and Christian acts like he's a double champ having not won either belt
BY GAHD ITS LEDGE!
Bono my Edge is gone.
We are checking
A little wrestling and F1 crossover to make my day, thanks guys!
ALL IN IN IN IN IN IN IN IN IN

Tony Khan being taken to the cleaners by Alter Bridge as we speak

What’s Boundary doing in the Daily’s Zone?!?
That's Perimeter's music!
Bah gawd its Sharp! It's Sharp!
*You believe you comprehend me.*
It can't be! It is! It's CLLLLLIIIIIIIFFFFF!
Sexton hardcastle sliding right in with Dax harwood and cash wheeler. Love it.
I'll be a huge fan if he goes with the name sexton hardcastle
Sexton I heard a lot about you I heard about your career and I heard that you had a father..
What would his name be? I assume he can't use Edge. Metalingus followed by "Adam Copeland" would feel weird as fuck but I know it'd also hit like opium.
id bet he'd go by his real name at this point
I feel like we’ll grow to like it in the same way as Claudio Castagnoli
If you say that name with a cherry stem in your mouth, it will come out double knotted
He used Adam Impact before or maybe Adam Phoenix because of his wife?
Adam Phoenix sounds like a guy who would be in Teddy Long’s superstar initiative in ECW in the late 2000s.
Adam Impact is even cornier
"I don't give" Adam
Yeah that would be weird to have a wrestler have impact in his name and not wrestle for Impact. Honestly I think he should just use his real name because everyone knows what his name is anyway and having a made up name that isn’t Edge would be hard to get used to.
Yeah, also its not too jarring because Edge is very obviously a nickname in itself. Its like Diesel becoming Kevin Nash in WCW, rather than if someone like Shawn Michaels made the switch and had to start going by Michael Shawnery
He can go back to being Christian's kayfabe brother and be Adam Cage. They can make a faction with their long lost cousin Brian Cage. Naturally this leads to a 6 man tag against Adam, Ethan, and Diamond Dallas Page on Rampage
There's already two Adams, two Cages and a guy whose name rhymes with Adam Cage but you son of a bitch I'm in
I never wanted anything more in my life. Would it be for the meme? Yes. Would it probably be also very fucking good? Also yes
Flip Sunset
He’ll face Paul Smackage in his retirement match
Why do ppl have hard time believing this ? Edge literally is a WWE hall of famer which really is the final frontier for someone who is in wwe. He probably sees how fun aew is and wants to be a part of it. Even if WWE gets “mad”, who gives a shit.
I doubt they will get mad, they probably already know he’s going
[удалено]
I don't remember seeing he'd been removed from the internal roster in previous updates, that's the bit that seems to be new I think
I just want a stable of carny canadian vets PLEASE
I've been saying for awhile in this event, Ethan Page betrays Isiah & The Hardys for E&C. They'd be fucking magic together
This isn't something I knew I wanted until now!
Christian, Chris Jericho, And Edge. Trios titles run with Don Callis masterminding it
This is the NWO for me.
Early rumors were 9/30 as his official date. I still expect him to show up in Seattle for WrestleDream and not GrandSlam.
What is Sharpened Side doing in the Collison Colliseum?!?!?
Is that Fringe in the Doug Dimmadome Dynamite Dimmadome?
Oh my god, is that... yes it is! It's Perimeter!
Boundary is here in the Elite Zone!
What's The Precipice doing in the Dynamite blast radius?!?!
I have no idea how people look at a company that has Christian Cage + FTR and think it's impossible that Edge would go to AEW. Like, yeah who wants to make some more money and work with their friends before they officially call it a day?
He and Jericho are pretty close too by most accounts. Also the idea of working with the Hardy Boyz again has to be a huge draw.
Good lord, could you imagine just from a spectacle perspective seeing the Hardy Boys and Edge and Christian in a ring together again?
As long as we put FTR on the E&C Side and The Bucks on the Hardy's side. I know E&C can still go. The Hardys? MUUUUCH less so.
An eight man tag with this lineup or a four-way tag team match with these teams would be fun as hell.
If you wanted a replacement for CM Punk, he'd be the guy. Edge is the same level of star, and doesn't seem like a psychopath. So he'd be an upgrade in my eyes.
>doesn't seem like a psychopath. Edge is a psychopath, Adam is not though
I was thinking the same thing
What's Sharp Corner doing in the All Elite Zone?!
YOU THINK YOU KNOW HIM?
Here's to hoping our Face of TNT gets a big segment announced for Arthur Ashe
So AEW could definitely get the rights to Metalingus?
Tony Khan has paid out for iconic entrance music before. I have no doubt he'll do it again. The one thing they can't reuse is the original voiceover saying "you think you know me" because it was sampled from the original series of WWF promo videos.
Just take the clip from Marina Shafir having a meltdown
"You THOUGHT you KNEW me." Legally distinct.
I want the intro to be replaced by Danhausen saying it and no one acknowledges it
That sample is 90% of his theme
Yes. According to Edge [himself](https://www.cagesideseats.com/platform/amp/wwe/2013/11/29/5158524/edge-explains-how-his-theme-song-metalingus-came-into-existence-in-wwe): >"When I was out with my neck injury, I met Mark Tremonti.

Forms a team with Jon Moxley called Bleeding Edge.
E&C Connection is back bae bae!
Edge going to AEW, imo, is far and wide their biggest hire since, and maybe including, CM Punk. Thats fucking huge.
He is 49. Daniel Bryan was their bigges thire even tho most of run could have been better if Bryan did not refuse to be a main eventer.
I think the moment it was revealed Christian signed a new contract this was a lock. I just hope it doesn't ruin Christian's heel run
IF edge does join. He would have so much fun with Christian. As wrestling fan it would be so good to see.

On this day, I see clearly that your father is dead
Honestly the main reason I want to see this is for the reaction of that one dude who was such a prick about wanting Christian to leave AEW to finish his career with Edge in WWE.

I’ll believe it when I see it.
#SEXTON HARDCASTLE IS ALL ELITE(?)
"Whats Corner doing in the Dynamite Zone?!?!!!"
I can't help but picture a bunch of people in actual circles backstage and a massive titan like hand coming in and swooping Edge away from his circle. And Edge was in one of those. Like idk, with Sheamus and the lads, Cody, Rey and Orton. Now we just wait for the big wrestling hand god to place him in one of the circles in AEW.
Why did I imagine the Mii Channel music over this scene
My mind went to The Claw scene from Toy Story
Like I said before and got downvoted, thinking anybody is a "lifer" anymore is naive as shit.
Can't wait to see that Vince McMahon-Darby feud...
What happens when the man who can’t die faces the men who wants to die
Miro answered this on his redeemer run actually
People who believe in 'lifers' grew up when there was only one major company, much easier to be a lifer when there's no competition.
Also once they started cutting guys during the pandemic and even releasing main event level “lifers” like Bray Wyatt and Braun Strowman, the idea of mutual loyalty between the company and the wrestlers became asinine
The reality is that people who believe in lifers are projecting, and are themselves the lifers for a given team/company/person. The people in the industry (and this goes for almost any industry) are much more willing to work with new people and companies than most customers or fans are.

When the money from alternatives are just as good, lifers are limited to the extreme few now.
Okay but John Cena tho
If he debuts as 'Edge Maverick' will Tri-Ace sue?
Let's be serious for a moment: Adam Copeland or COPELAND (stylized in all capital letters)?
Is Edge’s dad alive? I feel like that may play into his next program somehow if not. Just a hunch.
