WWE’s official statement
On April 11th, 2021, WWE announced that it had come to a mutual agreement with Edge to release him from his contract. The following is WWE’s official statement on the matter:

Reactions from the WWE Universe
The WWE Universe was left reeling on Monday night when, during a moment of brutal honesty on WWE Raw, Edge revealed that he had been fired by the company.
The Rated-R Superstar was one of the most popular wrestlers in the world during his prime, and his return to WWE earlier this year after a nine-year hiatus was met with huge fanfare.
However, just two months after his return, Edge has been unceremoniously booted from the company, leading to a massive outpouring of support from fans on social media.
Many fans believe that WWE made a huge mistake in firing Edge, and are demanding that he be reinstated immediately.Others are speculating that this could be part of a larger storyline, and that we haven’t seen the last of Edge in WWE.
No matter what the future holds for Edge, it’s safe to say that the WWE Universe will always remember him as one of their favorite Superstars.

He is also a two-time Royal Rumble winner, and a one-time King of the Ring.
Edge’s final match
Edge’s final match in the WWE was a tag team match with partner Christian, against The Usos at a house show in Sydney, Australia on April 19, 2011. This would be Edge’s last match ever, as he announced his retirement the next day due to theologycal reasons.
In his retirement speech, Edge said that “it has been an honor and a privilege to be part of this business for as long as I have”, and that he was grateful to the WWE Universe for supporting him throughout his career.
Edge’s retirement
In 2011, Edge was forced to retire from professional wrestling due to a neck injury. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2012.
Where is Edge Now?

Edge’s current projects
Edge is currently a part-time actor and full-time father. He recently had a role in the sixth season of Vikings, and has also done voice work for the animated show Captain Canuck. Fatherhood is Edge’s main focus these days, and he seems to be enjoying his time away from the ring.
What’s next for Edge?
When WWE superstar Edge (real name Adam Copeland) was forced to retire in 2011 due to a neck injury, it was a serious blow to not only his career, but to the WWE Universe as well. Edge was one of the most popular superstars of his generation and had been a part of some truly iconic moments in WWE history. His retirement, while understandable, left many fans wondering what could have been.
In recent years, however, Edge has made sporadic appearances on WWE programming, most notably as a surprise entrant in the Royal Rumble match in 2020. This has led to speculation that perhaps a full-time return could be on the cards for the Rated-R Superstar.
While it’s unclear exactly what Edge’s future holds, there’s no doubt that he still has a place in the WWE Universe. Whether he comes back as an active competitor or remains behind the scenes, we’re sure to see more of Edge in the years to come.
