Adam Copeland’s Current AEW Status

Copeland made his AEW debut in October 2023 at WrestleDream. Since then, he has won the TNT Championship and challenged for the AEW World Title.

He is currently sidelined after FTR turned on him at AEW Dynasty. The duo attacked him and hit him with a con-chair-to. There is no official timeline for his return to AEW television.

Copeland, known in WWE as Edge, is one of the most decorated superstars in the company’s history. He first revolutionized the industry alongside his partner Christian, winning a record 14 world tag team championships and pioneering the iconic Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match.

As a singles star, “The Rated-R Superstar” became an 11-time World Champion. He was also the first-ever Money in the Bank winner, a two-time Royal Rumble winner (2010 and 2021), and a King of the Ring. A Grand Slam Champion, Edge was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2012 following a career-ending injury, only to make a miraculous return to the ring years later to continue building his legendary resume.

Edge’s first retirement was a sudden and emotional event that took place on the April 11, 2011, episode of Monday Night Raw. He was forced to end his in-ring career immediately after being diagnosed with cervical spinal stenosis, a severe narrowing of the spinal canal. Doctors warned him that he was risking paralysis or worse if he took another bad bump.

The announcement was especially shocking as he was the reigning World Heavyweight Champion, having just defended the title at WrestleMania XXVII. During a heartfelt and tearful speech, he recounted his journey and officially vacated the championship, laying it in the center of the ring.

Believed to be the definitive end of his career, he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2012 before making a miraculous and unexpected return to the ring nearly nine years later at the 2020 Royal Rumble.
