Edge’s final match in WWE took place on the August 18th, 2023 episode of SmackDown, where he defeated Sheamus. Edge then made his All Elite Wrestling debut as Adam Copeland at WrestleDream.
This past Saturday, The Rated R Superstar defeated Christian Cage to become the new TNT Champion at AEW Worlds End. However, Christian signed Killswitch’s contract and regained the title.
Adam Copeland recently appeared on the Notsam Wrestling podcast, where he was asked about how much longer he’s planning to wrestle. Copeland said that he would compete for two more years. The former TNT Champion added that he is expecting to tell as many stories as he can within the next couple of years.
“I can do this for a limited time because it is all limited. Even though it’s been four or five years back now, it’s not like I got another four or five in front of me. I know I don’t. We’re looking at like a two-year window here to be able to get as much done as I can get done, tell as many stories as I can, and try and help talent along the way with that and I need to be there more, and to do that and I want to be there more to do that because even still, it’s not like the schedule was back when I was riding 220 or 250 days a year. At most, it’s two times a week and that’s very doable to still be the dad I need to be, to be the partner I need to be. I still have the time and the energy to do that because it’s not as all-consuming as it was. I don’t let it be as all-consuming as it used to be either. But by the schedule, it just becomes less all-consuming. I wanted to be able to do as much as I could while I could and that felt like the place I was going to be able to be allowed to do that. That’s when it really, I was like, that’s where I gotta go.”
Adam Copeland also stated in the interview that he would like to wrestle his retirement match at Maple Leafs Gardens in Toronto, Canada.
