Edge spoke to The New York Post, where he denied any chance of returning to the ring. He believes that wrestling full-time for anyone over 40 is far from ideal as it takes a huge toll physically, and he just can’t do it. This is what he said:
“Ah, no. [Laughs] Well, here’s the thing: People as much as they want it, it’s not going to be what they want. It’s very rare. Especially when you get performers into their 40s and 50s, it’s not an easy job. It’s a very, very difficult thing physically. I personally think your body isn’t meant to do it past 40 years old. It’s just a really, really physically demanding, taxing thing. And I know people hop in and they do one-offs here and there, but I just think it’s a matter of time before eventually, they are going to get hit with some kind of injury bullet, because it’s not normal to do to your body, especially once you start getting up in middle age.”
Edge would add that he could’ve had a fantastic match with the likes of Seth Rollins and AJ Styles. But only if he were 35 and not 45.
”So, hey, do I know A.J. Styles and I could have an amazing match, Seth Rollins and I could tear it down and have a classic, yeah, if it were me at 35, not me at 45. And not me at 45 not having stepped in a ring for eight years.”
