Tony Khan stated he would have permitted AEW’s Adam Copeland, known as Edge, to wrestle John Cena in WWE if the opportunity arose. In an interview, Khan explained that despite WWE's historical reluctance to collaborate with AEW, he was open to discussions about Edge working an event with Cena. This potential for collaboration comes after previous non-partnerships between WWE and rival promotions. The interaction remains hypothetical as WWE never approached Khan about the possibility. Edge's relationship with WWE has changed, and his time is now spent in AEW alongside Christian Cage.
