Adam Copeland has arrived in All Elite Wrestling.
At the end of Sunday’s AEW WrestleDream, Christian Cage retained the AEW TNT Championship against Darby Allin thanks to the help of his new ally Nick Wayne. As Wayne, Cage and Luchasaurus were ready to put the finishing touches to their attack on Darby Allin and Sting, the lights went out and a grindhouse-inspired video showed an anonymous man driving a fancy car around Seattle. Alter Bridge’s trademark “Metalingus” echoed through Climate Pledge Arena and Copeland emerged through a haze of smoke and pyrotechnics.
Initially, Copeland feigned an alliance with Cage and Co., attacking all three men, striking Luchasaurus with a giant spear, and saving Sting and Allin from further harm as he refused to side with his longtime friend. Copeland then shook hands with fellow WWE Hall of Famer Sting as the pay-per-view broadcast stopped. Copeland wrestled his final WWE match in August, although his contract with the company didn’t expire until Saturday.
