Following their intense Barbed Wire Steel Cage Match at the AEW Double Or Nothing 2024 pay-per-view event at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, there has been significant concern for TNT Champion Adam Copeland aka Edge and Malakai Black.
The match was exceptionally violent, featuring chairs, tables, barbed wire, and various other weapons.
During the bout, Copeland executed an elbow drop from the top of the cage, but he landed awkwardly on his legs while crashing down onto Black, who was positioned on a table. This has led to speculation about Copeland’s condition post-match.

Copeland addressed the situation on social media, revealing that he has fractured his tibia and will need surgery.
Here’s what The Rated-R Superstar said:
“I guess the house always does win because I gained two new friends (*shows crutches*). I don’t really like them. They’re like those buddies that just annoy you, but they’re always there.
Anyway, I’ve been feeling really good lately. Been having so much fun in the ring, and I got cocky, I guess, is what it really boils down to, and I’m probably a narcissist and an ego-maniac, and I’ll unpack that one day.
My brain forgets what my body always seems to remember a little late is that I’m 50, and I need to make better choices. So my body pulled the emergency break on me the other night, and I ended up fracturing my tibia, which is going to require surgery.
Don’t know the time frame on that yet. Ruby’s birthday is on Friday so I really want to enjoy that.”
