Thread 18166530

Is Edge coming back to Wrestle Cena at the end of the year?

>>18166530 (OP)
Whatever happened to this guy

>>18166530 (OP)
*Cope

>>18166530 (OP)
No hes having too much FUN

>>18166530 (OP)
Does anyone care?

>>18166530 (OP)
Hope so. Like every other post-2004 maineventer, he's proven he is not a draw on his own, and he needs the WWE machine to make him look like one. Reminder: Hogan, Savage, Flair left the winning WWF and helped WCW reverse the tide. None of these so called modern legends could do that. Not Punk, not Danielson, not Edge.

>>18166552
People would pop no matter how many times you seethe Peepfag.

>>18166552
Yes

>>18166578
That 'you think you know me' would hit like crack

>>18166595
>mfw he returns with the judgment day version

>>18166563
>Like every other post-2004 maineventer, he's proven he is not a draw on his own
There is no one single wrestler who's any sort of consistent draw on their own though anymore. That timeframe you've picked and even earlier. Rock wasn't while he was back. Cena hasn't been. Austin wasn't a few years ago. Undertaker wasn't either. Goldberg sure as shit isn't. Hogan's new venture is as dimeless as they come and you could argue he's as big of a marquee name as there is in wrestling

>>18166617
I'd still pop honestly. Would still love if even just once he used the Zombie theme again. Might not be as iconic as Metalingus but goddamn was that a good entrance
>>18166617
>the judgment day
Honestly if he does come back once his AEW contract is up (he should) then even beyond things with Cena the story there is to revisit with the Judgment Day would actually be dimes. Edge, Priest, and Rhea vs Finn, Dom, and Roxanne. Figure out a few more names on each side and that'd be a based War Games match that finally wouldn't involve the Bloodline

>>18166530 (OP)
I won't be mad if he leaves AEW

>>18166530 (OP)
Kinda crazy how AEW's legitimately fumbled this guy. He's still over as hell. He can still wrestle better than all of the other 50 year olds going today. They spent more time using him for rah rah speeches than actually letting him cut promos. At least WWE had him in a Mania main event. Or had him wrestle at Mania at all. He's about to be 0-2 on All In appearances since signing there

Cena's retirement run should've been like a comic book/manga hero versus his villain gallery. Most of Cena's are still active or can go(at least for one match) could've been interesting and definitely FUN. oh well ;(

>>18166621
>There is no one single wrestler who's any sort of consistent draw on their own though anymore
Because they're trash.
>Rock wasn't while he was back
Different Rock coming off the GOAT Rock. The guy came back last year and drew 3 milly. As soon as he left, Cody's run fell to 1 milly. And that's with wrestling having it's lowest ratings ever.
>Cena hasn't been.
Cena is a grampa. And was never a draw in his peak. He stopped the bleeding, never increased it.
>Austin wasn't a few years ago.
Old. He's from 27 years ago.
>Undertaker
Debuted almost 40 years ago
>Goldberg sure as shit isn't
OLD. Prime was 26 years ago, anon.
>Hogan
He was wrestling 50 years ago.

Face it, the new guys blow.

>>18166530 (OP)
OP pic is like and update of the "i have no friends" Edge meme

>>18166683
This is actually a massive fumble.

>>18166687
I’m not used to edge doing the entrance theatrics with his old theme.

>>18166770
the crowd pop is crazy for 2004 Edge though, I don't think he started getting pops like that again until at least 2006

>>18166687
He's HERE!

>>18166723
My fantasy booking would've had Cena face all his old villains one by one, culminating in Cena leading a team of babyfaces in Cena's first ever war games match against Randy, Punk, Edge, I don't know who else. Would've been kino.

>>18166687
that pop

>>18166683
>He can still wrestle better than all of the other 50 year olds going today
He can't even wrestle better than Christian, let alone Shelton Benjamin. Dustin Rhodes is 4 years older and can wrestle circles around 2025 Edge. The literal elderly man from CMLL that Bryan Danielson wrestled last year wrestles better than 2025 Edge.

>>18166782
Yup. He got a nice welcome back pop for a while but fans flipped on him and by that Summerslam which was in Toronto kek they were outright booing him. Was the best thing that could've happened to him though because he pitched turning heel and that began the run that led to the Rated-R Superstar persona

>>18166530 (OP)
What the fuck is an Edge? is that some slavE name or something?

>>18166832
exactly. Hell of a lot better than what we're getting

>>18166832
Shitttt that would've been based

>>18166530 (OP)
I want him back in WWE just so they can stop pretending CM Punk was Cena's greatest rival

>>18167040
erm... that's The Miz, honey

>>18166836
>>18166792

>>18167055
>Edge
>Miz
>Punk
I'll give that Miz is a SUPER underrated one. Punk's whole "rivalry" with Cena was entirely one sided. It was more Punk chasing Cena around trying to get his attention while feuding with Vince, Triple H, and others as Cena's focus was always on the Rock. Edge though. No one made Cena's life more hell just as well as no one could ruin Edge's day more than Cena. There was a reciprocity to it, and the way that they'd organically come together and drift in different directions just to come back together again

>>18167069
Man. Him and Hogan winning the tag belts (23 years ago yesterday) is one of my favorite wrestling memories from that time growing up

>>18167147
Randy, Batista, and JBL are higher than Punk on Cena's rivalry list

>>18167322
Randy was always so forced to me. I feel like him and Batista were more parallels than rivals but they did have that feud. JBL 100% though. I was just ranking those three from that last post in that isolated group. I think the Punk rivalry is super overrated. They had that one good match on Raw and even that was match where the other was trying to get a shot at someone else kek

>>18167413
Randy was forced by Trips, same with Batista
Evolution was just DX all over again, putting your friends over.

>>18167431
Can't argue it

>>18166530 (OP)
Nah

"Can I come back Haitch? I'm done having fun"

>>18166530 (OP)
Sadly no

why is he still trying to steal christian's shine 25 years later

>>18166530 (OP)
KEK! You wish. He's going to work a program against FTR with Christian Cage. But do keep begging, e-chomo.

>>18169749
mental illness

>>18169749
>chomo
Hogwheels’ word of the day.

>>18166530 (OP)
>imagine a mysterious superstar shows up at summerslam wearing a long black leather jacket and a helmet and spears John Cena, everybody in the crowd like "no way" then the superstar takes off the helmet, IT'S EDGE

i just want him back in wwe so that he can be in the 2k games officially again, it sucks having to mod him in

>>18166621
>Cena
>a draw
Ratings dropped hard when he was the face.
He already started to get booed in 2005 at the start of his face of the WWE run.

>>18170033
my 7 year old nephew asked to go to smackdown out of the blue specifically to see john cena

you’re all fucking retards.
he’s winning that money in the bank case this year or poker chip whatever the fuck it’s called

i legitimately think the lot of you are actual retards that lack critical thinking

>>18170102
Which is fucking sad to know

>>18166530 (OP)
He's never coming back
he threw his career away to be a tranny

>anti edge thread bumped and now he went back to bumping his Christian thread
Peepfag has gone insane.

>>18170102
I don't watch AEW so I wouldn't know anything about that.

>>18169853
>All WWE can do is rehash old shit
Cena should be feuding with someone under 40 years old, not CAWdy and Orton and Punk. This shit is like if, when The Rock first came back 2011, he feuded with Triple H instead of Cena.

>>18166653
Same. Best thing he did was make Ricky Starks cry lol. What happened to that guy

Keep beggin e-drone chomos. You're never getting Cope again.

>>18171367
Hittin' em with the Cope-a-dope.

>>18171357
IWC is proven wrong 100% of the time. your fantasy book is shit. lose weight

>>18171404
>John Cena in 2025 should only feud with other 40 and 50 year olds until he retires
Such obese stupidity

>>18171404
Cena needs to job to Johnny Gargano before he retires.

>>18170751
>>18171302
Then why the fuck are you in this thread?
oh yeah that’s right,
the whole retard thing.

>>18166578
>>18170780
>seethes
>accuses someone else of seething

>>18166563
Acting like Punk wasn’t a major draw in AEW is just being incredibly dense on purpose

>>18171362
He went to cry to Phil because he got KWAB'd on live TV like him

>>18166530 (OP)
YAWN

Logic dictates he should, triple nose say otherwise

>>18174099
Nah. If he's free to go back to WWE and he wants to they'd definitely take him. Triple H is giving Goldberg of all people a chance to have a send off match. Goldberg. WWE would take Edge back in a heartbeat. Truthfully, writing this now I feel like they may be anticipating it which is why they've made sure to keep the Edge trademark not only all of this time but that they've renewed it as recently as they have

>>18166530 (OP)
he said previously he intends to retire from in-ring and work behind the scenes at AEW when his contract is over.
maybe he'll change his mind or WWE will throw a big bag at him for one last cena match.
it is technically possible - i believe his contract should run out before the end of the year. but tony will probably extend it for injuries.

Not rly

Yes he us

>>18174694
>it is technically possible - i believe his contract should run out before the end of the year. but tony will probably extend it for injuries.
I can't think of anything that would kill the goodwill AEW's been building back up quicker than this. It's one thing to do this to young talent who you don't want WWE getting their hands on right away. But for legends and HOFers who are in the twilight of their careers where every month matters? And to deny people of the chance of seeing those two together potentially one last time? All just to keep a guy around to collect dust, because we know Tony won't actually use anyone he can't get to re-sign. Then holy hell what a shitshow that would be

>>18166683
Nice try Adam

>>18176760
>All just to keep a guy around to collect dust, because we know Tony won't actually use anyone he can't get to re-sign.
If he isn't back at All In or at the very least in time for All Out in Toronto then I think this could already be happening

COPE's contract forbids him of working with WWE

>>18177043
Pretty sure all AEW contracts do that bud

>>18176774
Every old guy who works for AEW gets sick of it and leaves. I wouldn't be surprised if Cope's midlife crisis is over and he's ready to come home.
