Tony Schiavone says he didn’t know Adam Copeland was set to debut at AEW WrestleDream.
At AEW WrestleDream, Adam Copeland made his spectacular debut with the promotion, making the save for Darby Allin and Sting to close out the show.
Tony Schiavone reflected on Adam Copeland’s AEW debut on the latest episode of his What Happened When podcast,
“I had no idea he was there, but I thought it was great. I thought it was pretty cool when he slides into the room and he and Christian go face-to-face because I’m looking at them thinking, ‘Man, there’s a legendary tag team and they’re just staring at each other.’ It was a very, very good moment and the fans lost their minds as well. So with all that, I thought it was a very good move, but no, I didn’t know, and you know what? That’s cool,”
“We did a very exclusive backstage interview with him afterwards, and you can tell his excitement for being here in AEW, so good job,” Tony says. “I’m sure as time goes on, it won’t be the last surprise that we have. I’m not giving a spoiler because again, I don’t know, but as we go on in the years, you just never know, right? I mean, think about Adam Cole, Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley on the very first AEW Double or Nothing.”

Copeland is said to be looking to take over the role CM Punk served in the company prior to his firing, minus the drama.
