Bobby Lashley, the professional wrestler, has revealed how significant a role Adam “Edge” Copeland played in his move to All Elite Wrestling.
In a recent dialogue with the “Sports Guys Talking Wrestling Podcast,” Lashley—he of the Almighty One moniker—stated that Adam Copeland made a compelling argument for the switch.
Below are some key takeaways from his interaction on the podcast:
Discussing continuing his journey in AEW, he said, “Having the opportunity to drive the Hurt Business and to move forward, and to conclude my career in a way that feels right? Prior to the termination of my WWE contract, I suffered an injury in Spain, which was not how I wanted to draw the curtain on my wrestling career.”
Conversely, touching down on his conversation with Copeland regarding the potential move to AEW, Lashley added, “Edge and I had a conversation, as did MVP. Shelton also chipped into the discussion. But the conversation with Edge was quite impactful. He vividly mentioned a few good points and expressed his love for the new setup – which weighed heavily on me.”
