Adam Copeland, who was known as Edge in WWE made a shocking debut at AEW WrestleDream. There were rumours that Adam Copeland would never leave WWE.
Adam Copeland had a legendary career in WWE, there was nothing left for Adam to achieve in WWE. So he might have decided to go to AEW and wrestle new faces and spend rest of his wrestling career with his best friend Christian Cage.
Rey Mysterio recently was interviewed by Ariel Helwani of MMA Hour, where he talked about Adam Copeland signing with AEW.
“I was shocked. We had just spoken a week before that. Not that I expected him to tell me anything. We never had the time to even talk about what was next. I saw him in his last match, ‘we’ll be in touch.’ We call each other every now and then.
“Next thing you know, I didn’t even see, it was on social media the following day. ‘Did you see?’ ‘No, what happened.’ They showed me (his debut). ‘Wow, I didn’t see that coming.’ I imagine he has his reasons on why and I can’t wait to sit down and chop it up with him.It’s always good to have an option. At the end of the day, that was his decision. That’s what made him feel good, take it.”
“I would say that about anyone who would have done it. The fact that we have a great connection doesn’t mean we can dictate what he should want or doesn’t want. Overall, it was shocking because I thought he was going to re-sign with the company or figure out what he wanted to do, whether movies, or stick around for some more time.” (H/T: Fightful)
