WWE and AEW have been locked in a fierce battle for supremacy in the pro wrestling world since AEW’s inception in 2019. While there have been a few crossovers between the two promotions, the idea of a major star jumping ship is something that has always been heavily speculated upon. Now it seems that WWE has internally discussed the possibility of bringing in a huge name from AEW, which has sent shockwaves throughout the wrestling industry. In this article, we’ll break down the potential implications of such a move, and examine which AEW talents could potentially make the jump to WWE.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there have been discussions among WWE executives about the possibility of bringing back Christian Cage to team up with Edge for one final match or run. Dave Meltzer, a famous wrestling journalist and historian, reported that there have been talks behind the scenes about Edge and Christian wanting to team together one last time, but they aren’t sure if it’s possible due to Christian’s contract length.
Edge, who signed a three-year deal for $3 million per year in early 2020, has had a remarkable run since his return at the 2020 Men’s Royal Rumble match. He main evented WrestleMania 37 and competed in stellar trilogies with Randy Orton and Seth Rollins. Over the past year, he has been feuding with the faction he created, Judgement Day, with Finn Balor as his arch-nemesis. However, his Hell in a Cell win over Balor at WrestleMania likely concluded that feud.
It’s been reported that Edge plans to have his final match in Toronto in August of this year, so time is running out for Edge and Christian to team up again.
After quietly retiring due to concussion issues in 2014, Christian made his in-ring return in the 2021 Men’s Royal Rumble Match. He showed up in All Elite Wrestling a few months later, involved in the main event picture with Kenny Omega for several months, and even beat him for the IMPACT World Championship. Christian also mentored Jurassic Express, but ultimately turned on Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus following their tag team title loss to The Young Bucks. After taking some time off due to injury, Christian put Jungle Boy over in a ‘Final Burial’ match at AEW Revolution and has reunited with Luchasaurus on this week’s episode of Dynamite.
The possibilities of Edge and Christian reuniting have wrestling fans excited. The duo has had a history of success, winning seven tag team championships together in WWE. They are known for their comedic banter and fantastic in-ring chemistry, making them fan favorites. Wrestling fans hope that the rumors are true and that the two will team up one last time.
WWE has been making efforts to bring back legendary wrestlers for special events and matches lately, and the addition of Christian to the mix could add another layer of excitement. Furthermore, adding Christian to the mix could also boost WWE’s ratings and increase their merchandise sales, especially if they decide to merchandise a final run for Edge and Christian as a tag team.
The wrestling industry has always been unpredictable, and fans never know what to expect. However, if Edge and Christian do reunite, it’s sure to be a monumental event in wrestling history. The duo’s comedic chemistry and in-ring abilities would make for an unforgettable reunion, and wrestling fans can’t wait to see what the future holds.
The world of wrestling is constantly evolving, and WWE seems to be keeping a keen eye on the talent out there. The recent buzz about bringing in a huge name from AEW has everyone talking, and fans are curious to see what moves the company will make. Only time will tell if this speculative rumor will come to fruition, but for now, the possibility of a major crossover has ignited excitement and interest across the wrestling community. As always, we’ll be watching closely to see what comes next for both companies.
