Adam Copeland says he will retire in All Elite Wrestling.
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.
Copeland was interviewed by CBS Sports following his debut. Copeland was asked if he thinks this will be his last full-time run as a performer.
“I think that’s a very safe thing to say because I know how much work it’s going to take to be able to pull it off,” Copeland responded. “I know that. I’m not in any way trying to fool myself into thinking I’m just going to trot through this whole thing.
“It’s going to be hard. It’s going to be a lot of hard work. I enjoy hard work. I always have. It’s how I’m wired. It’s what I was born with. It’s in my DNA. So that’s super fun. But I’m also a realist and I understand that I’m not going to be able to maintain it for a super long time.”

Copeland is scheduled to face Luchasauras in his AEW debut on Title Tuesday and will speak on this week’s AEW Dynamite.
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.
