Adam Copeland and Christian Cage are once again reunited in All Elite Wrestling.
All Elite Wrestling‘s Adam Copeland recently sat down with Shakiel Mahjouri of CBS Sports. When asked about reuniting with Christian Cage in AEW, Copeland said ending his wrestling career with Cage is his dream.
“If we could end this together, that’s the dream,” Adam Copeland said. “I sat down with my girls, and I’m like, ‘OK, so what does dad do, girls?’ What do I do? And I laid out the scenarios for them. Lyric said it, and then Ruby agreed, ‘Go be with Uncle Jay and have fun.’ And that doesn’t mean that I’m not having fun in other places, but they know the most fun I’m going to have is with my best friend of the last 40 years.”
Adam Copeland doesn’t believe WWE had a plan for him
Part of Copeland’s decision to depart WWE and head to All Elite Wrestling stemmed from the fact that they didn’t really have a plan for him. At the same time, Copeland saw his best friend having the time of his life in the other company and wanted to maximize his time while he could still do it.
“I kind of got the sense there wasn’t really a plan [for me in WWE]. I get it because what else do we do? What else is there to do? And after 25 years, I’ve literally done everything there. So what do we do? It wasn’t anybody’s fault,” Adam Copeland said. “I was coming up against creative walls too. I was having a hard time coming up with ideas, and that’s not usually the case. I think they were too.
“There was also the conundrum that I was contracted for ten matches a year. I offered to do more, but to their point, it wouldn’t feel quite as special, which I understood too… It just felt like neither one of us really had any ideas, and that’s never been the case before.
“So when you look at that, and then I look at my best friend over there having the time of his life, at a certain point, once I thought, ‘You know what, I still have a window here where I can do this, and I don’t feel like I’m maximizing that.’ I think that was really what it boiled down to.”
