"He's getting paid a lot of money" - WCW legend speculates on RAW Superstar Edge's WWE future
WCW legend Konnan recently expressed his thoughts about Edge's WWE future after he was seemingly written off TV following a heinous attack on this week's episode of RAW.
The Rated R Superstar went to war with Dominik Mysterio on the red brand this week. Post-match, the Hall of Famer was brutally assaulted by Dominik and his Judgment Day stablemates Finn Balor, Rhea Ripley, and Damian Priest. The show went off-the-air with Edge down and out, struggling to get back on his feet.
Speaking on the latest episode of his podcast, Keepin' It 100, Konnan speculated about the veteran performer's future after the events on RAW. The wrestling legend stated that he doesn't see The Rated R Superstar retiring as he's still in great shape and is paid a fortune to work minimal dates.
Furthermore, Konnan added that Edge could continue to wrestle in WWE even a year from now if he's still healthy.
"I don't think he [Edge] will retire, I think he still looks good, he still has a lot to offer and he's getting paid a lot of money to work very few dates. He's on a real sweet deal, and I think after a year if he's still hot, he'll do another one, because he can still go, that's what I think. Who knows maybe he's like, you know, "I can do only one more year and I'm out," but he's being paid very well," said Konnan [1:06 - 1:34]
