RAW Superstar Choosing WWE Over AEW Was The Right Decision – WWE Legend Revealed

Edge had been one of WWE’s major stars before he retired, and this success came under McMahon’s management.

Injuries forced Edge to retire in 2011, but he memorably returned to the ring in 2020. As he prepared to compete again, various rumors suggested that the Hall of Famer was in talks with All Elite Wrestling before he decided to return to WWE. In hindsight, JR believes The Rated-R Superstar made the right choice

During this week’s episode of “Grilling JR,” Ross admitted that he would have loved to have seen Edge join the AEW roster, but understood why the Hall of Famer picked WWE. The veteran announcer described how Edge had a fantastic relationship with Vince McMahon and stated that WWE was home to the legendary wrestler.

“He has got a brand established in WWE,” said Ross. “It’s home for him. He is comfortable there. He’s got a really open, established communication with Vince, which is crucial. Would I have loved to have had him in AEW? Hell yeah! Are you kidding? Absolutely. But I just think that WWE for him, after all these years, was home.””He is a lifer there (WWE),” Ross continued.

“Would I like to see Adam Copeland have a match in AEW someday? Of course, I would….Is it going to happen? Unlikely. Highly unlikely, perhaps. But that would have been kind of cool if he had come and worked for us. But I understand why he did, and I think he made the right decision.”
