WWE is a brand that rewards the talent that has helped it reach the position it has in sports entertainment today. As in the case of ‘The Undertaker’s’ WrestleMania streak or even Roman Reigns’ title run right now. WWE sure knows how to reward the athletes who have toiled hard for the betterment of the brand.

Such is the case of ‘The Rated R Superstar’ Edge who gave 25 of his glorious years to the WWE and its fans. And on this auspicious occasion, a lot of his ex-colleagues put out heartfelt messages wishing him all the best. But AEW’s Dustin Rhodes might have spoken a little too much in one such message.

The main event for the night was Edge against his long-time friend Sheamus in a first-time-ever match which Edge eventually won. But as the night progressed, lots of WWE stars and legends send in their heartwarming emotional messages for ‘The Rated R Superstar’.

And it was not just limited to the WWE, but even his ex-colleagues who are now in AEW put out earnest messages wishing him good luck. One such message was by Cody Rhodes’ brother Dustin Rhodes aka Goldust. But he also mentioned that this is Edge’s last contracted match which is very well hinting at his exit from the WWE and moving to AEW.

 

He tweeted, “In honor of the Rated R Superstar @EdgeRatedR and his final contracted match tonight. Have a great one buddy. Stay safe. Miss you❤️”.

The pic was an Attitude Era classic with greats like Kane, Edge, Goldust, and Bully Ray aka Bubba Ray Dudley of the legendary tag team The Dudley Boyz.

But as fans were ecstatic to see these legends in one pic, they also started speculating if this was Edge’s last appearance in the WWE.
