Adam Copeland is All Elite and made his AEW debut at WrestleDream after a career in WWE as Edge.

Following his debut, Copeland revealed the reason why he chose to leave WWE to join AEW.

His debut would see him come face to face with Christian Cage, Luchasaurus and Nick Wayne, saving Sting and Darby Allin from a further beating.
