With Adam "Edge" Copeland stating that last night's Friday Night Smackdown bout against Sheamus was the final in his current WWE contract, that has left readers wondering if he would be contractually able to walk out of WWE and appear in AEW, even as soon as All In: London next week.
That's not likely to happen.
The word backstage at Smackdown last night was that Copeland's actual WWE deal is expected to expire in October. That was based on comments Copeland made locally on a sports radio station this week in Toronto as well as comments made backstage.
If that is accurate, it would give the two sides time to negotiate a new deal, especially once Endeavor officially aquires WWE in mid-September.
Of course, we should give the caveat that when PWInsider.com reported Copeland was returning to WWE to wrestle, he publicly denied it all the way to his actual return to the ring at the 2020 Royal Rumble, so it could always be that the word being passed around isn't 100% accurate.
