It looks like Adam Copeland’s return to AEW is closer than ever.
According to Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp, the former TNT Champion is expected to make his comeback during AEW Dynamite’s January 1 episode in Asheville, North Carolina. The show marks a significant milestone as AEW’s first simulcast on TBS and Max, and it seems Copeland is set to help kick off this new chapter.
Copeland, sidelined for months after a devastating leg injury at Double or Nothing, has reportedly been cleared for in-ring training for weeks. However, AEW insiders say the timing of his return aligns perfectly with Dynamite’s upcoming event in his hometown area.
Adding to the intrigue, FTR—longtime friends of Copeland—recently teased they “wouldn’t be coming alone” to the January 1 show. All signs point to the Rated-R Superstar stepping back into the spotlight alongside his allies.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting Copeland’s return since he suffered a gruesome leg injury during his steel cage showdown with Malakai Black earlier this year. While Copeland has been busy filming a television project during his recovery, the talk around his imminent comeback has grown steadily. The Asheville Dynamite promises to be an unforgettable night, especially with Copeland potentially making his presence felt.
