The Rated-R Superstar’s Surprise Entrance Marks a New Chapter in AEW
In a move that sent shockwaves through the wrestling community, Adam Copeland, better known to fans as WWE Hall of Famer Edge, made a dramatic debut at AEW’s WrestleDream event in Seattle. The event, already buzzing with high-octane matches, reached its crescendo when Copeland’s iconic “You Think You Know Me” blared through the speakers.
The main event saw Darby Allin defending the AEW TNT title against Christian Cage. The match was a rollercoaster, with Cage using every trick in the book, including a dangerous throw of Allin onto steel steps and a frog splash onto a stretcher. The drama escalated when Nick Wayne interfered, leading to Cage retaining the title. Post-match, as the assault on Allin continued, Sting attempted a rescue, only to be overwhelmed by Luchasaurus and Nick Wayne.
Then, the moment that left everyone stunned: Adam Copeland’s entrance. The atmosphere was electric with a video package showing him driving to the venue. Christian Cage’s reaction was priceless as his former tag team partner and friend made his way to the ring. Embracing his Rated-R Superstar persona, Copeland quickly turned the tables on the heels, signaling a promising start to his AEW journey.
It’s worth noting that while WWE owns the “Edge” name, fans were quick to recognize Copeland, who trended on social media. Speculations about Copeland’s move to AEW had been rife, and this debut solidified those rumors.
