Adam Copeland is set to make his AEW in-ring debut on Tuesday's AEW Dynamite when he faces Luchsaurus.
It will mark Copeland's first match since August 18 when he defeated Sheamus on WWE SmackDown and his first match outside of WWE since 2001.
Speaking on The Ringer's Masked Man Show, Copeland spoke about his impending in-ring debut.
"It's to further the story. This is the next step to get us to where we want to go for that first tentpole and then beyond that. Also, to get in there with a guy who I have watched and always thought is money, just needed the seasoning. He's been getting that seasoning by sitting at the hand of Christian. There is no way you're not going to learn. It just going to happen, even if you don't ask questions, which he does. I'm looking forward to getting in there and being like, 'Here we go. First one, we're in, I've now wrestled in a AEW ring,' because it is a little different and there is an adjustment there. That's really what I'll be doing, adjusting. It's all brand new. I don't want to say I feel like a rookie again because I have more experience than I did back then, but there are elements to that. New ring, new audience, new barricades, new set ups. It's also really exciting," he said.
Copeland's in-ring debut comes as AEW and NXT go head-to-head on Tuesday. Fans can find Copeland's comments regarding the Tuesday Night War by clicking here.
