WWE Hall of Famer Edge has shared a video on his X account in which he addresses some of the rumors pertaining to his current WWE contract situation. It was recently reported that both parties had reached a stalemate in regard to an extension, but that doesn’t appear to be the case. According to the veteran, there are no hard feelings between him and WWE, and he still loves the promotion, describing it as the “dream cake.”

“I didn’t come at them with some crazy contract or anything. They didn’t deny me. I have a contract extension sitting in my inbox. I just don’t know what to do. The first time I had to retire, it was forced. This time, the choice is in my lap and it’s a lot harder.

Edge went on to say that his match against Sheamus on last week’s episode of “WWE SmackDown” is the highlight of his career. He described it as a special night and he doesn’t know if he’ll ever be able to top it, so he needs time to process the experience and think about his next move.

There have also been rumors of Edge joining AEW after his current WWE contract expires. He didn’t mention Tony Khan’s promotion in the video, but he did share some news about his future plans.

“Just know that whatever it is that I do, whether it’s Percy Jackson — which is coming up soon — or it’s wrestling or it’s sitting in my rocking chair, it’s because I’m having fun. And having fun at this stage of my life and raising my kids are the two most important things. So I hope that clears stuff up.”

WWE Hall of Famer Edge has been signed to co-star in the Disney+ series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.”

According to a report in Variety, Edge — who will be appearing under his real name, Adam Copeland — has been cast as Ares, the God of War, a recurring guest star spot. Disney+ described the character as “handsome in a wicked way and arrogant, despite not always being the sharpest tool in the shed. He loves conflict and acts as an agent of chaos wherever he goes.”

“Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the popular young adult novels by Rick Riordan and follows the adventures of a 12-year-old modern demigod who is erroneously accused by the sky god Zeus of stealing his master lightning bolt. The youth and two of his friends embark on an odyssey to locate the lightning bolt and restore it to Zeus’ authority.

In addition to Edge, the series’ guest star line-up includes Glynn Turman, Jason Mantzoukas, and Megan Mullally. Production is currently underway in Vancouver for the eight-episode first season, which is scheduled to premiere in 2024.

Outside of wrestling, Edge has enjoyed a lengthy and varied entertainment career, beginning with a small role as a bandit in the 2000 film “Highlander: Endgame.” He had starring roles in the films “Bending the Rules” (2012), “Interrogation” (2016), and “Money Plane” (2020), and he has been active in his native Canada with roles on the television series “Haven” and “Vikings,” as well as appearances as himself in the bibliophile-focused “Canada Reads.”
