Impact Wrestling’s Mickie James can understand Adam Copeland feeling ‘free’ after his debut at AEW WrestleDream.
Speaking on the post-WrestleDream media scrum, Copeland said he felt a sense of freedom during his AEW debut and said he was as excited in AEW as he was debuting on the indies.
During a recent edition of “Busted Open Radio,” James said she understands her fellow WWE alum’s comments about feeling free. She said,
“I can understand when Adam says, ‘Oh, the freedom,’ because I have so much freedom in Impact. And that’s a reason why I stay and I love, is because of the freedom.
“I’m sure that the AEW schedule is demanding, but I’m sure it’s not as demanding as WWE’s schedule.”
Copeland will make his AEW in-ring debut next week against Luchasaurus during the AEW Dynamite: Title Tuesday episode on October 10.
During the same podcast, James also had praise for WWE NXT North American Champion Dominik Mysterio. She said,
“Can I say, Dom, is incredible. I know he’s a bad guy and we’re supposed to hate him. But I think, we look and I’m going, ‘Where did he train?’ This is like really interesting — it’s not like we watched Dominik on the independents or like in an organization, a smaller organization, where we knew Dom was training to be a wrestler, prior to showing up on WWE television.”
Like Copeland, James is preparing for a major match as she will challenge Impact Wrestling Women’s World Champion Trinity later this month at Bound for Glory.
