WWE legend Adam Copeland, fondly known by fans as ‘Edge’, shared heart-touching tales from his personal life, particularly mapping out his romantic journey with fellow WWE Hall of Famer, Beth Phoenix. The couple’s love story saw its inception during what was titled the first ‘Edge Appreciation Night.’
The WWE superstar, in a recent episode of the “Insight” podcast, opened up about his relationship with Phoenix. “It was Edge Appreciation Night in Toronto that marked our first date. It was sort of a tribute to my career, which was a bit overwhelming. But earlier that day, Beth and I started a meaningful conversation. We had interacted before but that day, we had a deep and thoughtful conversation, just sitting randomly by the ring,” he recollected.
Copeland continued, expressing his realization of the striking parallels in their journeys, “Once our talks started to deepen, I noticed numerous similarities we shared. Just like me, Beth had trained in Toronto, under the same mentor, Ron Hutchison, and had wrestled in the same local pubs in Parkdale. It was just that she did it seven years later than me, given our age gap. Upon this discovery, I sought insight from Natalya about Beth’s personality, which set us on our journey together.”
Copeland and Phoenix had the opportunity to team up several times in WWE in 2022 and emerged victorious against real-life couple The Miz and Maryse. The couple, who are parents to two daughters, born in 2013 and 2016, exchanged wedding vows in 2016 on the 43rd birthday of the AEW TNT Champion, Copeland.
