Adam Copeland will make his AEW in-ring debut on tonight’s episode of AEW Dynamite against Luchsaurus.
This will be his first match since August 18, when he defeated Sheamus on WWE SmackDown and his first match outside of WWE since 2001.
Copeland discussed his in-ring debut on The Ringer’s “Masked Man Show.” He said,
“It’s to further the story. This is the next step to get us to where we want to go for that first tentpole and then beyond that. Also, to get in there with a guy who I have watched and always thought is money, just needed the seasoning. He’s been getting that seasoning by sitting at the hand of Christian. There is no way you’re not going to learn. It just going to happen, even if you don’t ask questions, which he does. I’m looking forward to getting in there and being like, ‘Here we go. First one, we’re in, I’ve now wrestled in a AEW ring,’ because it is a little different and there is an adjustment there. That’s really what I’ll be doing, adjusting. It’s all brand new. I don’t want to say I feel like a rookie again because I have more experience than I did back then, but there are elements to that. New ring, new audience, new barricades, new set ups. It’s also really exciting.”
