Adam Copeland Opens Up About Final Storylines In WWE

AEW

Adam Copeland has opened up about his whiplash turns during his final storylines in WWE where he went from back and forth from face to heel.

In an appearance on the Insight with Chris Van Vliet podcast, Adam Copeland opened up about the ‘abrupt’ nature of his Judgment Day turn in WWE.

When Adam Copeland was in WWE he had an intriguing turn of events, seeing him initially found a dastardly faction to only rather shortly thereafter turn babyface again.

Adam Copeland said:

“I knew it was going to be a bit of a struggle, and it was, but it was also a challenge. I was like, at this stage, can I be a heel, with the fanbase knowing the real story, being retired for nine years, working to get it back, can you erase that from people’s minds for this time frame.

“It was starting to maybe work, then Cody got hurt, Randy got hurt, and I got a call saying ‘we gotta flip you, you’re a babyface now’.

“It was at Hell In A Cell, it was Rhea, Priest and I, and that was the first time where I thought they were starting to come around, and then the next night they split it up, but I also understood, babyfaces are depleted, and I’m the utility batter.

“It was very abrupt, and also when looking back, you had me trying to turn heel on AJ who had just turned babyface.

“Should have just let us be double babyface and let us do our thing, then if I lost at WrestleMania, now we can start to do the turn and it can make more sense instead of feeling so abrupted.”
