Adam Copeland explained that wrestling less frequently in AEW can actually be harder on his body than the constant schedule he maintained in WWE, as taking time off between matches means his body loses its adjustment to the physical impact. The 53-year-old veteran noted that while wrestlers used to stay in a "purgatory of pain" from working hundreds of matches per year, today's TV-focused industry structure means taking that first bump after a break can be an uncomfortable wake-up call, especially during live events. Copeland said it typically takes about five minutes into a match before his body readjusts and he starts feeling comfortable in the ring again.
Adam Copeland explained that joining AEW in 2023 was a "no-brainer" because his three best friends in the industry work there and told him they were having "an absolute blast."

At AEW Double or Nothing 2026, Copeland will team with Christian Cage to face FTR in New York.
