5 top WWE Superstars whose contracts will reportedly expire in 2022

#4. WWE Hall of Famer Edge

Edge is one of the greatest WWE Superstars of all time. Although he retired nearly a decade ago due to injury, he made his long-awaited comeback last year at the Royal Rumble. However, The Rated R Superstar could leave again soon.

In a recent interview with Busted Open Radio, Edge disclosed how age had affected his ability to perform regularly:

"What I think I’ve learned is that the self-care and recuperation just takes longer. So before, when you can do it every night, that’s not the case anymore. Now, you know, after a match and I’m like, ‘Okay, I feel great. Maybe I could do one more the next day’ but that’s pretty rare. It’s usually a good two-to-three weeks until I’m like, ‘Okay, all right. I think everything’s knocked out of my system.’ The cryotherapy I did, the sauna. I did cold plunges, I stretched, I did yoga, I did massage, all of those things that I never did before. Now they’re a necessity."

The former WWE Champion also revealed that he would retire before the young superstars are no longer excited to face him in the ring. Edge's WWE departure could come sooner than many might think. The 48-year-old's WWE contract will reportedly expire in 2022.

After more than a month of absence from WWE television, Edge recently returned to RAW. The Miz, who also returned alongside his wife Maryse, confronted the WWE Hall of Famer as it seems the two will be feuding in the coming weeks.
