Swerve Strickland finds Adam Copeland’s AEW signing to be intriguing.
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.
Swerve Strickland spoke in a recent interview with DAZN, as he said that Copeland in AEW is ‘intriguing’.
“Lineage. That’s a man who’s been a legend in the game for like 27 years, and has never been anywhere else. This is his first time being on another television product in 27 years. It’s the first time seeing him mix it up with new fresh blood, new fresh talent in another new, fresh company. It’s been four years that AEW has been around, but it’s still a new, fresh company. That’s intriguing in itself. The knowledge that he’s going to bring, the presence, the persona, and we’re anticipating seeing something different and new that we haven’t been seeing from him. There’s a lot of creative freedom that comes with that too, we’re getting to see Adam Copeland just flush out and go wild, not be contained or locked in on certain things. You’re really getting to see him be fluid and free with his career at the tail end, saying this is where he wanted to end his career with Christian, and Christian is on a big resurgence in his career with what he’s doing right now. You’re seeing a hungry, creative free guy in Adam Copeland, a legend, going up against a resurged, better than he’s ever been character, evil, maniacal, turtle neck wearing TNT Champion in Christian. You’re seeing elements of an eighteen year old Nick Wayne, you have Darby Allin & Sting involved, you have Luchasaurus involved. There’s a lot of different webs of storytelling, that right there should sell everything.”

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.
