On Wednesday evening during the special AEW Dynamite: Fight For The Fallen event, Adam Copeland made his wrestling return but now goes by a new ring alias- “The Rated R Superstar Cope”.
In a six-player tag team match and the main event of the night, Copeland, or rather Cope, joined forces with FTR (consisting of Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) taking down The Death Riders, a team made up of Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, and Claudio Castagnoli.
The match had an exciting finish when Cope took down Wheeler Yuta with a spear, a move delivered post FTR’s famous Shatter Machine. Adam Copeland was introduced as “The Rated R Superstar Cope” during the match by the announcers and graphics, signaling that this will be his new ring name from this point onwards.
Along with Cope’s triumphant return, this week’s AEW Dynamite: Fight For The Fallen special was made all the more entertaining as wrestler Ricochet barged into a three-way match between Swerve Strickland, Roderick Strong, and Jay White. The interference ended in a rather violent manner as Ricochet attacked Swerve Strickland with scissors and even delivered a punch to his head. Post this attack, Ricochet positioned a bleeding Strickland on a chair and delivered the Spirit Gun move.
The exciting week ended with the anticipation of a return of a legendary tag team, five nail-biting matches, and Saturday night’s live edition of AEW Collision. The lineup for this Saturday’s AEW Collision on TNT and Max is updated as follows:
– For the AEW TNT Championship, Daniel Garcia will compete against Mark Briscoe.
