During an interview with Sports Illustrated, WWE Hall of Famer “Edge” Adam Copeland talked about joining AEW. Below are the highlights:
His final WWE match:
“Halfway through the match with Sheamus in Toronto, I was thinking, ‘This is probably my last WWE match’. I also started thinking, right then, ‘There is a great chance I retire after this’. The WWE gave me that night, and I’ll hold it with me until I die. I was having so much fun. That was the perfect ending.”
Backstage WWE reaction to him joining AEW:
“I guarantee you this – they’re not mad. I’m not mad. I’ve received so many texts from the office, from the travel department, from the talent relations department, from the music department, from the performers, from the big suits, and none of them are mad.
They’re happy for me. And I’m happy. They’re going to continue to crush it, too. And I have more of an opportunity to help the entire wrestling business in AEW.”
Wanting to wrestle in New Japan Pro Wrestling and have a dream match with former IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada (All Elite Wrestling has a working relationship with NJPW):
“I’ve never wrestled at Wrestle Kingdom. I’ve never wrestled at Tokyo Dome. How about a match against Kazuchika Okada? That would be pretty cool. I’m pretty excited by that.”
