Adam Copeland has clarified his choice to join AEW following his debut this Sunday at AEW WrestleDream.
We don’t call him Edge anymore. Adam Copeland made his debut following the main event of WrestleDream where Christian Cage retained his TNT championship title then with Nick Wayne, who had just started a heelturn, attacked Darby Allin and Sting who had come to his aid. Copeland thus came to save the faces of his former tag team partner in WWE. From the beginning on which the wrestler wanted to explain on and clarify certain points, notably on his choice to join Tony Khan’s promotion following more than 20 years in WWE.
As some of you know, I am no longer with WWE. My new home is AEW. I am enthusiastic. » assure Adam Copeland. “A whole new roster. A few familiar faces I wanted to work with once more and a whole bunch of early matches. New challenges, and if you’ve followed my career, you know that’s what has always motivated me.
Adam Copeland explains in his tweet why he ultimately did not renew his agreement with WWE at the end of the contract which ended this Saturday.
“First and foremost, I want to talk regarding my 25 years with WWE. I love WWE and appreciate everything it has done for me. This has always been the case and it will continue to be so. They made me known, gave me extraordinary opportunities and thanks to hard work on both sides, I was given a wonderful life. WWE even allowed me to meet the woman I would start my family with. » says the 49-year-old wrestler. “Sometimes relationships fall apart and I feel like WWE and I have outgrown each other. I wanted to do more. They didn’t have much more to offer me. It’s as simple as that. And that’s okay. I will continue to watch and support all my friends in WWE. »

But above all, Edge is addressing a handful of fans who felt “betrayed” by WWE’s move to AEW. The reactions were numerous on social networks, and seeing a talent who has worked for WWE for a long time go to the competition is an event that seems to go down quite badly. “I don’t subscribe to this weird mentality of one company or another. It’s weird. If you were offended by this, go for a walk, get some fresh air, and enjoy some sunshine. It’s wrestling. An extraordinary spectacle. But it’s still wrestling. Relax. It’s supposed to be fun. »
“In the industry, we all know that more choice benefits everyone and pushes us to improve. » continues Copeland. “As a wrestling fan, which I still am, it’s exciting to see that there are viable businesses bringing wrestling to national and global platforms. If you’re really into wrestling, not acronyms, you should be happy too. »
The point I’m trying to make is that if you enjoyed my work, you can still do it, regardless of the initials. Because I will continue to push myself every time I’m in the ring. This journey is not over yet. Just try to have fun, as you should. Because believe me, I will have fun every time I’m in an AEW ring.
