I have been hesitant to post this piece of news but since there are so many of you asking about it, I thought I should just post it. Please keep in mind that this is just a rumor and has not been confirmed. At the same time though, it shouldn’t be much of a shock because Edge has noted recently – particularly in the last year – that he won’t be wrestling for too much longer. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end eventually.

We’ve noted several times in the past year that a WWE main eventer plans on leaving the organization once his current contract expires. The wrestler in question is Edge, who’s deal runs out next year.

Word is that Edge isn’t enjoying being on the road so much, and that he has told friends that he could use a break after all of the years, injuries and rehabbing those injuries.

With that being said, there is no confirmation that he will retire. Many wrestlers that have made good money discuss retiring at the end of their next contract, and either sign a new deal, or take a retirement that turns out to be a break.
