Adam Copeland competed tonight (Oct. 14) on Dynamite in one of the five super predictable qualifying matches for Saturday’s Clockwork Carnage main event match at WrestleDream. Copeland went over Josh Alexander, of course, and then made some huge news after the match was over.
First, his tag team partner Christian Cage suffered broken ribs and a collapsed lung in the beginning of their wild 3-way ladder match at All Out. Even so, Cage continued on and was reaching for that belt atop the ladder near
the very end of the match because that’s the kind of work ethic he has. Get well soon, asshole.
Cope wasn’t done there. He’s turning 53 years old later this month and knows he’s aging out of the wrestling business. That’s why he’s hanging up his boots and calling it a career in 2027. It’s also why he needs to win the AEW world title ASAP.
This immediately led to an angle where Don Callis interrupted and said Copeland won’t even make it to WrestleDream this weekend. Several of Don’s 647 family members ambushed the Rated R Superstar at that point. Perhaps this foreshadows Copeland’s involvement in Blood & Guts next month?
Were you shocked by Copeland’s retirement announcement and news on Christian’s injuries? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below, Cagesiders.
