Adam Copeland discusses his return.
Adam Copeland missed several months of 2024 after he suffered a fractured tibia at AEW Double or Nothing. He made his return at the end of AEW Worlds End, where he and FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) brawled with Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, and Wheeler Yuta of The Death Riders.
At the AEW Worlds End post-show media scrum, Corey Lieb of the Wrestling Observer asked Adam Copeland about his injury and his recovery ahead of his return.
"It’s one of those deals where, if you watch my career, it’s not out of my character to do insane things. It’s kind of what I do, every once in a while. I’ll get a hair up my ass and decide, ‘Yeah, I’m going to dive through a flaming table, sure.’ That’s just me. It’s kind of hardwired into me. I also think it’s part of why I’ve gotten to where I’ve gotten. That being said, I realize I’m closer to the tail end of my career than the beginning, and I have kids now, so there is a different mindset that goes into it. In terms of recovery, I’m still lucky in that I recover like Wolverine. Part of that is, I just go after it. The day I can go after it is the day I do it. I’ve actually been cleared for a while, but Tony and I had a conversation and our area got hit my a hurricane. It was much more important to be home. We just got the water boil advisory lifted three weeks ago. We’ve been using bottled water to brush our teeth and wash our hands for close to three months. When real life hits like that, something like this has to take second place. Luckily, we’re at a place where that is considered and respected. In terms of being back and ready, I’m ready to go. Every month for me, at this stage, feels like a year. I have to get in and get cooking," Copeland said.
Copeland will team up with FTR at AEW Dynamite Fight For The Fallen. More information is available here.
