Edge said, "It felt like I had done everything I was going to do with WWE; I'd worked the people I'd wanted to work like 95% anyway. And it just really felt that they were going in a direction, and I was going in a direction, and they were kinda going separate ways, and I wanted to be with this limited window I have, I wanted to be involved."
"I wanted to be there on a weekly basis to tell proper stories, and it's tough to do that popping in and out every three months or so. And I also get that, well, that keeps it special, and I understand that, but again, I'm working with such a limited timeframe here that I have to go while I can go. And I looked at the roster, and I thought, man, so many people that I've never laid hands on and been in the ring with."
