Adam Copeland (Edge) made his AEW debut at the end of this past weekend’s WrestleDream pay-per-view event, saving Sting from an attack from Christian Cage.
Following his debut, Copeland has discussed the new possibilities open to him in the company, including some first time ever matches with members of AEW’s roster.
However, it’s not just members of the AEW roster that Copeland has his eyes on, as he discussed his debut with Sports Illustrated, pitching for a dream match with Kazuchika Okada at Wrestle Kingdom.
He said:
“I’ve never wrestled at Wrestle Kingdom. I’ve never wrestled at Tokyo Dome. How about a match against Kazuchika Okada? That would be pretty cool. I’m pretty excited by that.
“How about Jon Moxley? Hell yeah. A singles match in AEW against Bryan Danielson? Miro? Claudio Castagnoli? Kenny Omega? Will Ospreay? Adam Page? Chris Jericho? Malakai Black? FTR in a tag? Teaming with Darby against the Young Bucks? Facing Darby? Facing Sting? A promo battle with Eddie Kingston? The possibilities, they’re keeping me awake at night. These new matchups are all super exciting. It all starts next week against Luchasaurus.”
Copeland spoke about the realization of all these new opportunities hitting him when he was face to face with Sting in the ring at WrestleDream.
He said:
“The realization fully hit when I was staring at Sting in the ring. I know WWE like the back of my hand. I know Edge. I don’t know AEW. It’s new to me. That is very exciting for me. It’s like starting from scratch, but with a lot more experience.”
Copeland’s first AEW Dynamite appearance is set for tonight’s (October 4) show.
Copeland will face Luchasaurus in his first match in AEW on the October 10 episode of Dynamite.
