00:00 I'm Oli Davis, welcome to the WrestleTalk News - where our top story today, on the same

00:10 week as All In, potentially the biggest pro wrestling show of all time, is news a major

00:17 WWE star could defect to AEW… in about a month.

00:24 Yes, Edge.

00:25 Nope.

00:26 Wrong Edge.

00:27 Edge celebrated the 25th anniversary of his WWE career on the 18th August episode of SmackDown,

00:33 wrestling a great match against Sheamus, who was one of those who helped train Edge to

00:36 return back in 2020.

00:38 The show took place in Toronto, Edge's hometown, and was seen as a potential retirement.

00:43 Mostly because that's what Edge had been telling everyone for about a year - that he

00:47 was going to retire at the 2023 Summer Show in Toronto.

00:51 Wrestling Observer Radio reported Edge was hoping that show was going to be a SummerSlam,

00:55 but Detroit got that instead, so Edge's potential last wrestling match ever was an

00:59 episode of SmackDown.

01:01 Which is kind of fitting for the man who defined that show in the noughties.

01:05 But despite Edge's long-time trainer Ron Hutchinson reportedly telling people recently

01:09 Edge was going to retire, speculationamania is now running wild that it wasn't Edge's

01:15 wrestling career that's over, maybe it's just the WWE part.

01:18 Edge admitted he doesn't know about his long-term wrestling future in an interview

01:22 with ET Canada leading up to his 25th anniversary show.

01:25 "This is the last match on my current contract, so I don't know.

01:29 I honestly don't know.

01:31 I probably won't know until I get to the locker room that night and decompress that

01:34 all the anxiety and tension that I never used to have before I performed, I have now."

01:39 He gave more details to Sportsnet's The Fan Morning show, where he revealed "my

01:43 contract is up at the end of September", meaning any next moves wouldn't be in time

01:47 for a certain humongous wrestling show coming up soon.

01:51 Fightful haven't been able to fully confirm that Edge's contract expires in September,

01:56 but they do note his original deal - which presumably started on his WWE return in January

02:01 2020 100 years ago - was probably extended due to the amount of time he missed due to

02:06 injury, the torn triceps he suffered early in the pandemic that took him out for seven

02:10 months.

02:11 Following Edge's 25th anniversary show match, WrestleVotes posted "Asked if anything changed

02:16 post-show regarding the status of Edge going forward.

02:19 Source said he hasn't signed a new deal as of now, and the feeling among creative

02:23 and others is that of unknown.

02:25 The Bull is truly in his court."

02:28 And Tony Khan wants Edge's Bulls.

02:34 Edge was reportedly one of the big name free agents, along with Chris Jericho and CM Punk,

02:39 that Khan approached before AEW launched in 2019 - a meeting that might've prompted

02:44 Edge to make his WWE return.

02:46 Again, according to Fightful Select, Edge's name has apparently been a topic of conversation

02:50 behind the scenes in AEW, even before he wrestled what could've been his last match on Friday.

02:56 Another site's rumour says even internal speculation in WWE is that Edge ends up going

03:01 to AEW.

03:03 Shawn mentions Edge's personal friendships with AEW talent Christian Cage and the World

03:07 Tag Team Champions FTR, with Dax and Cash also helping him get back into ring shape

03:12 ahead of his return.

03:13 Edge is so fond of the two, in fact, he wants to use their real names David and Daniel in

03:18 a WWE segment when telling Beth Phoenix to get some muscle at home in case Seth Rollins

03:22 tries to invade their house.

03:24 Dax posted a photo with Edge and Beth just several days before Edge's SmackDown match,

03:28 apropos of nothing.

03:29 As for the actual nature of how Edge could debut, it wouldn't be at All In, All Out

03:33 or Shake It All About.

03:34 But perhaps AEW's big Arthur Ashe Grand Slam show on September 20th could work out

03:39 time-wise.

03:40 And we've probably seen the last of Edge, as that's a WWE trademark name.

03:46 So start mentally preparing yourself to cope with Copeland.

03:51 How would you book Edge's debut in AEW?

03:54 Tell me in a Texas Chainsaw Deathmatch against Jeff Jarrett in the comments down below.

03:57 We contractually can't have Edge for All In, but two other AEW stars might be making

04:02 their long-awaited return for the show.

04:04 Santana and Ortiz, yay!

04:06 I miss them.

04:07 Oh no, but they also apparently don't talk to each other backstage.

04:10 In my opinion, Santana and Ortiz are in the top five tag teams in AEW, but being in Jericho's

04:16 Inner Circle faction never really let them break out on their own.

04:18 We haven't seen Santana since he suffered an ACL injury in last year's Bud and Guts

04:23 match, and Ortiz has only been around sporadically over the last few months.

04:27 Fightful Select is now reporting though that Ortiz could be making an appearance at Sunday's

04:31 All In show, as he was scheduled for a Limitless Wrestling event that same weekend, but he's

04:36 since been pulled due to an AEW-related obligation.

04:39 Additionally, Fightful is also writing that Santana has now been cleared from his ACL

04:44 injury and has been teasing a return to wrestling on social media.

04:48 With Eddie Kingston and Blackpool Combat Club in the Stadium Stampede match at All In, who

04:53 Santana and Ortiz both have history with, it's likely they could appear as cameos

04:57 or even something more substantial in the chaotic stipulation.

05:00 The only real dampener on this is that they're still not reportedly on great terms.

05:05 Shortly before Santana was taken out with injury, he was already making cryptic posts

05:09 about leaving AEW when his contract expired, and Conan - who is close with the two - has

05:14 revealed on his podcast that they aren't on speaking terms.

05:18 Speaking of not on speaking terms… don't worry, it's not about CM Punk, Segway.

05:22 ECW legend The Sandman has revealed he hasn't been in contact with AEW about an appearance

05:28 at Sunday's All In.

05:29 Which is exactly what someone about to show up at All In would say.

05:33 Following Sabu's random cameo at Double or Nothing, and Rob Van Dam's AEW debut

05:37 earlier this month - complete with original Pantera entrance music - Tony Khan sure does

05:42 love his ECW nostalgia.

05:44 So Luke Owen has been non-stop fantasy booking The Sandman getting involved at All In in

05:48 the office, purely so he can sing along to Metallica in the crowd.

05:51 But Sandman has revealed in a KNS WrestleFest virtual signing "I've never talked to

05:56 anybody in AEW, just so you know.

05:58 Then again, I don't even know if they'd have my phone number.

06:01 I'm so far out of the business, it's crazy."

06:04 What do you mean he's Sami Zayn?

06:11 Up until this point, it was assumed El Generico, the mute luchador wrestler from ROH's late

06:16 noughties, was a totally separate person to NXT and now WWE Superstar Sami Zayn.

06:23 Despite similar moveset, body shape, chest hair, general gait, athletic ability, he was

06:30 the man behind the Generico mask, Zayn.

06:41 In the interview, Zayn also speaks about his epic championship match against Roman Reigns

06:45 at February's Elimination Chamber event in his hometown of Montreal, admitting it

06:49 was a tough pill to swallow to come that close and not quite make it.

06:53 "I'd be lying if I said no, it didn't bother me at all.

06:55 For sure, there was a part of me that had problems digesting that.

06:59 I don't think I'm being controversial in saying this, but I'm not the chosen guy."

07:03 While it was tough to not just lose, but recognise WWE don't, and possibly ever will, see you

07:08 at that level, main eventing night one of WrestleMania and winning the tag team championships

07:12 with his best buddy Kevin Owens was a pretty good consolation prize.

07:16 And thankfully KO looks good to go after a short timeout with injury.

07:19 Owens missed SummerSlam due to a rib injury, but reports had him wrestling both on Friday

07:23 and Saturday night in six-man tag team matches for WWE.

07:27 Coming in with Sami and Drew McIntyre against Imperium, where KO has been getting the win

07:31 pinning Kaiser after a stunner.

07:33 But that's not all that happened over the weekend.

07:35 Here's my 1 minute one take recap of Saturday's AEW collision.

07:42 Kevin Kelly made his commentary return now the G1's finished.

07:44 I already miss you, Rick Abane.

07:46 Samoa Joe came out for a squash match against the Gold and Vampire.

07:50 No not the latest Bullet Club Gold member, but a Gold Body Suit disguised CM Punk who

07:54 attacked Joe and accepted his all in challenge.

07:56 Surely there was a better way to build this match.

07:58 Jey White beat one of wrestling's most underrated performers Dalton Castle.

08:02 They cut a promo on Kenny Omega after.

08:04 And then Juice Robinson and The Guns beat the Iron Savages in a six man Malakai Black

08:07 throwaway Billy Guns boots.

08:10 Who throws a shoe?

08:11 That's my second Austin Powers reference.

08:13 Ruse seemingly kicked out Preston Vance and Drillistico by masked man kidnap.

08:19 Big Samoa Joe TNA vibes there.

08:20 Ricky Starks managed Big Bill, who squashed Eric Neal.

08:23 Sting and Darby Allin attacked AR Fox at his training school for revenge.

08:27 Willow Nightingale beat Diamante, complete with Mercedes Martinez and Chris Stattl under

08:30 interference.

08:31 Powerhouse Hobbs squashed Kevin Koo, then called out Miro for a Hoss fight at All Out.

08:35 And Darby Allin beat Christian Cage in the main event.

08:37 A Luchasaurus and Cage beat down Allin afterwards.

08:42 2 seconds on the clock, I believe.

08:46 This is now my victory music.

08:48 I used to hate this sound, because it just reminded me of waking up.

08:52 Now it's sweet, sweet success.

08:54 But it isn't just All In this weekend.

08:56 It's also the start of the new season of WrestleLeague… where you can compete against

09:03 thousands of other wrestling fans and us, the WrestleTalk and PFK teams, in wrestling
