Adam Copeland Unveils When He Actually Signed His AEW Contract

Adam Copeland showed up at AEW WrestleDream, and that is just the first step in a long journey with the company. He will be a full-time AEW star, and he’s set for AEW Dynamite and Collision this week. He may have arrived in AEW with a full-produced presentation, but he needed to figure out a lot of things in a hurry.

AEW is using the same Alter Bridge song that Edge used in WWE. There are just a few big differences, but it’s still the same. That was quite a rush to get all of that ready for WrestleDream.

During an interview with CBSSports.com, Adam Copeland revealed when he actually signed his contract with AEW. He had to wait until his WWE contract expired. He had to get a lot of things together in a hurry.

“It wasn’t until my [WWE] contract was up on [September 21st]. It wasn’t until then. So it was really, really quick to get everything done and get everything dialed in. Figuring out so many things like getting with Alter Bridge and getting the music and doing all of those things. There were nine or 10 days.”

Adam Copeland also noted that Christian Cage being a part of the AEW roster really played into his decision. He has a lot of history with his former partner, and he wants to wrap up his career with Christian.

“I didn’t know immediately, but I thought that’s where I wanted to go. I really thought that working with Jay again was what I wanted to do and how I pictured it in a perfect world. Beth said, ‘What’s your perfect world? ‘I was like, ‘My perfect world is that I end my career with Jay.’ So suddenly that perfect world looked like it could be there. It’s tough to pass that up.”

Adam Copeland couldn’t pass up the chance to work with the roster of talent that Tony Khan has established. He also seems very excited about what’s to come, because the Rated R Superstar received an overwhelming reaction in Seattle.
