Adam Copeland Confident WWE Holds No Grudges for AEW Transition

AEW WrestleDream delivered a night of incredible moments that will be remembered for a long time, with Adam Copeland’s debut being the biggest moment in the whole show. Copeland was part of WWE for 25 years and quite a few fans were upset over his AEW debut, but Copeland made it clear WWE isn’t mad at him for his decision at all.

Adam Copeland’s AEW debut blew up the pro wrestling world at WrestleDream. Everyone lost their collective minds after hearing the iconic ‘Metalingus’ theme song they were used to for so many years.

While many fans were genuinely happy to see him in AEW, there were many fans who were upset that Adam Copeland left WWE for AEW. Many fans also felt Copeland betrayed WWE and angered the company for joining AEW.

While speaking with Sports Illustrated, the Rated R Superstar talked about WWE’s reaction to him leaving the company for AEW. Copeland guaranteed that WWE isn’t mad at him for his decision whatsoever.

“And I guarantee you this–they’re not mad. I’m not mad. I’ve received so many texts from the office, from the travel department, from the talent relations department, from the music department, from the performers, from the big suits, and none of them are mad. They’re happy for me. And I’m happy. They’re going to continue to crush it, too. And I have more of an opportunity to help the entire wrestling business in AEW.”

The WWE Hall of Famer is under a full-time contract with AEW. Ringside News exclusively reported that Adam Copeland’s AEW debut was not an internal concern for WWE before Monday Night RAW. It remains to be seen how the Rated R Superstar will fare in the company.
