He's started an open challenge on AEW Collision and has picked up victories over Griff Garrison and Lee Moriarty.

Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Copeland said he's still having fun in his current role.

"Anything I do at this stage of life has to be fun or I'm not going to do it. Wrestling was the first love and it always will be. That can never be taken away. I still find so much fun. The minute it stops being fun is the minute I need to be done. Because it was taken away from me the first time, and then to come back, and have this whole new generation of talent that I've never performed with or got in there with. It's fun. I've repeatedly said how much fun I'm having. That's what it boils down to. No matter what I'm doing, I'm having fun, or I wouldn't be doing it. I wouldn't be wrestling Griff Garrison if I didn't find the fun in that. I wouldn't be wrestling Lee Moriarty if I didn't find the fun in that. It's just a blast," he said.

When asked by Bully Ray if the money was good, but he wasn't having fun, would he still wrestle?

Copeland replied, "This may sound like a lie, but I'm at a stage in life where, if it's not fun, I don't need the money. I know that sounds really bad, but I was always really smart. I still drive a pick-up truck. I don't waste my money. It hurt too much to make. If I'm doing it, it's purely for the joy of it."

Dustin Rhodes challenged for the AEW TNT Title on Wednesday's AEW Dynamite, losing to Christian Cage.
