AEW Star Opens Up About Being In ‘Final Act’ Of His Career

AEW

Adam Copeland has now reflected on his AEW Full Gear 2023 appearance, opening up about the final act of his wrestling career.

Copeland teamed with Sting and Darby Allin to defeat Christian Cage, Luchasaurus and Nick Wayne the November 18 pay-per-view.

The Rated R Superstar has now commented on his first AEW pay-per-view match, following his arrival at AEW WrestleDream.

Praising his teammates, Copeland took to Instagram to note:

I’m 50 years old. In the second and not really supposed to be happening, final act of my wrestling career.

Last night I felt like the 17 year old kid stepping into that concrete like boxing ring at Sullys Gym back in 91. To feel so excited and have so much fun at this stage of my career is such a gift.

To perform in The Great Western Forum for the first time, see names like Jimi Hendrix and The Doors painted on the entrance wall, man.

To team with @darbyallin who is one insanely (key word insane) talented dude, who by the way hopped on a redeye after this match to go train in Nepal to climb Mount Everest, is invigorating.

To team with one of my idols @stinger in his last match in California.

To share the same space and be a peer of his, well 12 yr old Adam wouldn’t be able to fathom that.

Hell 50 yr old Adam doesn’t. LA, you brought it. That was a bucket lister. Thank you

This Full Gear match also marked Sting’s final bout in Los Angeles, ahead of the wrestling veteran’s retirement match at the AEW Revolution pay-per-view in early 2024.

While we don’t know much about that pay-per-view yet, we do know that Will Ospreay will officially join AEW on the road to Revolution, after finishing his final dates with NJPW.

Ospreay has now teased a character change ahead of his AEW return, which you can read more about right here.
