AEW UPDATE: Adam Copeland’s (Edge’s) first AEW opponent and the date the match will take place have been announced – find out here.
Details of Adam Copeland’s (formerly Edge) contract with AEW have been confirmed after he debuted for the promotion at WrestleDream.
Copeland debuted by saving Darby Allin and Sting from a three-on-two attack by Christian Cage, Luchasaurus and Nick Wayne at the end of the show after Wayne had helped Cage beat Allin.
In the post-show media scrum, Tony Khan and Copeland both spoke about him joining AEW, and Khan specifically revealed some details on the deal.
Khan stated that Copeland is with AEW full-time and will be with AEW every week, wrestling regularly.
The first names that Copeland mentioned as being excited to work with in AEW were Samoa Joe, Sting, Nick Wayne and Swerve Strickland.
When he made his entrance, Copeland did use his classic Metalingus entrance music by Alter Bridge so he’s keeping that, although there was a new version of the “You think you know me?” line at the start that said “You think you know him”.
His WWE contract only expired a day ago.
