Adam Copeland, formerly known as Edge, signed with AEW in October 2023 after a successful career in WWE. Earlier this month, on an episode of AEW Dynamite, he gave a positive message about AEW after CM Punk’s comments about the promotion in a recent interview.
In an interview with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Copeland reflected on the promo.
“People can be so negative. That’s people who are wrestling, and that’s also among our fan base. There are people who have this super rigid ‘I’ll only watch and celebrate this one thing.’ For us in the industry, it’s completely different. We want each other to succeed. It’s an awesome way to make a living, don’t get me wrong, but it’s a tough way, too. When more than one company is flourishing, that’s a positive for all wrestlers. But there is this strange outlier of fan who looks at things from a different perspective. So I wanted to address that, and I wanted our locker room to hear it, too.”
