In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet on Insights, former AEW Trios Champion Max Caster shared his honest thoughts about WWE Hall of Famer Adam Copeland, also known as Edge, joining All Elite Wrestling (AEW) last year. Caster, an acclaimed rapper and wrestler, admitted that he was initially skeptical about Edge’s debut, thinking that the legendary wrestler was there to take away his TV time.
The former AEW Trios Champion revealed that he was unsure about Edge’s intentions when he first joined the promotion, fearing that the Rated R Superstar would overshadow him and other talent. “I was skeptical when Edge came in,” Caster confessed. “I was like, ‘Is he here to take my TV time? Is he here to be the top guy?'”. However, Caster’s doubts were soon put to rest when Edge pulled him aside and praised his performance, showing genuine interest in the younger wrestler’s work.
Edge, who made a surprise debut at the WrestleDream PPV last year, has had a decent run in AEW since joining the promotion. The WWE Hall of Famer has been praised by fans and critics alike for his exceptional in-ring performances and strong character work. Most recently, Edge successfully defended his AEW TNT Championship against Buddy Matthews on Wednesday Night Dynamite and is set to face Brody King in an upcoming title defense.
Caster’s comments highlight the initial skepticism that some wrestlers may have felt when Edge joined AEW, but also showcase Edge’s professionalism and willingness to help younger talent grow. The Rated R Superstar’s focus on elevating others in the promotion is a testament to his dedication to the sport and commitment to giving back to the wrestling community.
As Edge prepares to face Brody King in his next title defense, fans are eagerly anticipating what promises to be an exciting matchup. Despite initial reservations, Edge has proven himself to be a valuable addition to the AEW roster, and his presence has undoubtedly raised the stakes in the promotion.
