Adam Copeland is All Elite.
Adam Copeland (Edge) officially arrived in AEW at AEW WrestleDream, helping Sting and Darby Allin after the main event bout between Christian Cage and Darby.
Just as Christian was about to strike Sting with a conchairto, the lights went out and a video package played with a man driving to the arena. The pavement was marked Rated R Superstar, indicating Copeland's arrival.
"Metalingus" by Alter Bridge played and Copeland entered the arena to loud cheers from Seattle.
Copeland initially grabbed the chair to finish off Sting with the conchairto, but swung and hit Nick Wayne, who turned on Darby during the bout, and Luchsaurus before connecting with a Spear on Luchasaurus as Christian Cage scurried away.
