In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet on Insights, AEW star Adam Copeland, formerly known as Edge, revealed a surprising tidbit about his WrestleMania 39 match against Finn Balor. The WWE Hall of Famer shared that WWE turned down his idea to bring back a legendary figure from his past to add an extra layer of excitement to the highly anticipated match.
The legendary figure in question was none other than Gangrel, a former stablemate from Edge’s time in The Brood. Many fans were anticipating a surprise appearance from Gangrel or even Christian Cage during the build-up to the Hell in a Cell match. However, Gangrel’s absence left many fans feeling disappointed.
Edge’s revelation sheds light on the creative decisions made behind the scenes, and it’s clear that WWE opted to go in a different direction for the match. This doesn’t come as a complete shock, given the unpredictable nature of professional wrestling and the numerous factors that influence these decisions.
Meanwhile, Edge has moved on to greener pastures in All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where he’s currently embroiled in a heated rivalry with The House of Black faction. The TNT Champion recently defeated Buddy Matthews and Brody King in a No-Disqualification match, further fueling speculation about an eventual showdown with Malakai Black.
As the storyline continues to unfold, fans are left wondering where the feud will lead. Will we see a faction leader showdown between Edge and Black, or will other members of The House of Black get involved? One thing is certain – Edge’s involvement in AEW has injected new life into the promotion, and his feud with The House of Black is quickly becoming one of the most compelling storylines in professional wrestling.
In an interesting side note, Edge also referenced his recent match with Matt Cardona in AEW, showcasing his ability to adapt to new environments and opponents. With his storied career spanning multiple decades, Edge remains an integral part of the professional wrestling terrain, and his current rivalry with The House of Black is just the latest chapter in his illustrious career.
As the weeks go by, fans will be eagerly awaiting the next development in Edge’s feud with The House of Black. Will Gangrel make a surprise appearance in AEW, or will Edge’s new rivalries take center stage? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – Edge’s impact on professional wrestling continues to be felt, and his current stint in AEW is shaping up to be an exciting ride.
