Jim Ross Predicts Christian Cage And Adam Copeland Will Have A Great Match When The Time Comes

Jim Ross predicts a great match between best friends in All Elite Wrestling.

During AEW WrestleDream event, Adam Copeland made his promotional debut to confront his lifelong friend Christian Cage as he was about to conchairto Sting.

Copeland’s debut was one that has took the wrestling world by storm as the YouTube clip has amounted an incredible amount of views.

Copeland’s AEW debut has brought a lot of fans into the discussion of how his neck will hold up with a fulltime run in All Elite Wrestling.

Speaking on Grilling JR, Ross shared his thoughts on Copeland joining AEW.

“I had breakfast with Edge in Salt Lake City the morning of his debut on TNT and Collision. We just had the best visit. It was like a reunion or something. It was [not] pro wrestling-like. We didn’t talk about headlocks or hammerlocks, or ‘Did you see that comeback?’ None of that. We just talked about how we met and my bond with his mother. She was a huge Eagles fan. Anybody who knows me knows I’m a huge Eagles fan. So that was our bond, the Eagles. So we had a great breakfast, and he’s so happy to be still in the business. He has more left, and the schedule at AEW is very friendly for a talent that’s 50 and has has multiple injuries. But he’s healthy as a horse right now, seems to me. His match with Luchasaurus was very physical on Tuesday night, and I thought it was well played out,”

“He’s a hell of a heel right now. There nobody in pro wrestling that has garnered the angst and developed the antagonist image. Every time you see him, you want to slap him. He’s a phenomenal heel, and that’s just gonna make it that much easier for he and Adam Copeland to have a historically classic match when the time is right,” 

Jim Ross

Copeland was able to defeat Luchasauras in his AEW in ring debut during AEW Dynamite: Title Tuesday earlier this week.

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

It was also confirmed that it was Beth Phoenix who recorded the “You Think You Know Me” in Copeland’s AEW theme.
