Adam Copeland Calls AEW Move a “No-Brainer” After Explaining WWE Exit

TLDR

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." Copeland said he had already worked with nearly everyone he wanted to face in WWE, while AEW offered fresh matchup possibilities including Samoa Joe, "Hangman" Adam Page, and Swerve Strickland. At AEW Double or Nothing 2026, Copeland will team with Christian Cage to face FTR in New York.
