Below are a couple of top WWE & AEW news stories of the day, featuring Adam Copeland and LA Knight.
• Adam Copeland aka Edge returned from injury at last night’s AEW Worlds End 2024 PPV. During the post-show media scrum, Copeland explained why his return got postponed:
“It’s one of those deals where, if you watch my career, it’s not out of my character to do insane things. It’s kind of what I do, every once in a while. I’ll get a hair up my a$$ and decide, ‘Yeah, I’m going to dive through a flaming table, sure.’ So, that’s just me. It’s kind of hardwired into me.
I also think it’s part of why I’ve gotten to where I’ve gotten. That being said, I also realize I’m closer to the tail end of my career than the beginning, and I have kids now. So, there is a different mindset that goes into it.
In terms of recovery, I’m still lucky in that I recover like Wolverine. And part of that is, I just go after it. The day I can go after it is the day I do it.
I’ve actually been cleared for a while, but Tony (Khan) and I had a conversation, and our area got hit by a hurricane. It was much more important to be home. We just got the water boil advisory lifted three weeks ago. We’ve been using bottled water to brush our teeth and wash our hands for close to three months. When real life hits like that, something like this has to take second place.
Luckily, we’re at a place where that is considered and respected. In terms of being back and ready, I’m just ready to go. Every month for me, at this stage, feels like a year. I have to get in and get cooking.”
