Gangrel shares his honest thoughts about Edge entrance costing AEW appearance
Former WWE star Gangrel spoke about Edge and his impact on his AEW appearance using his former teammates’ Brood entrance at SummerSlam.
Talking on his Fangin’ N’ Bangin’ podcast, Gangrel said: (h/t Wrestling Inc)
“I was supposed to be on a plane to Milwaukee. Yesterday, I get a return phone call saying ‘oh man, we’re so sorry, we’re going in a different direction because WWE media stuff.’ That entrance, everything Edge did was f*****g great. The reason I wasn’t so excited about it is because I knew, I was offered another great opportunity and the timing sucked. The timing sucked.
“AEW contacted me and they wanted me to come in and do Dynamite today, tomorrow, Wednesday night. They were putting the entrance together, they were going to do the fire, they were putting the music together. They were getting it all together.”
He also revealed that Edge called him later to apologise about the entire thing, which he had no idea about. The Rated-R Superstar Edge and Rollins were facing each other for the first time ever in their history.
Will Edge be a part of WWE in 2022?
The year 2021 has been particularly hectic for the 12-time World Champion. He has been in two Championship matches featuring Roman Reigns and a first-time ever match at SummerSlam. Edge is on a short-term contract, which was extended in 2020 and now looks set to continue into the end of this year.
After facing two of the top stars in the WWE, the creative team might take a new direction for Edge, who returned at the 2020 Royal Rumble. He is also the winner of the 2021 Royal Rumble match. We will see where Edge goes from here after being one of the standout veterans in the year of the fans’ return.
