The Rated R Superstar Adam Copeland recounts his surprise debut at AEW WrestleDream, and shares how he passed the time while hiding out near the venue before his entrance. He talks about guerilla-filming his intro vignette with Darby Allin around the Seattle area, how they secured the muscle car, and why it was so important for him to debut with his “Metalingus” theme music. Adam also shares how his acting career has helped his return to wrestling, how the pandemic influenced his in-ring storytelling and promos, and who in the AEW locker room he’s most looking forward to working with. He also comments on the TNT Championship, Sting, moves versus memories, and that hockey fight during his I Quit match with Christian Cage.
Adam Copeland on his AEW debut at WrestleDream:
“I mean it was all very new to me because I’d been used to one thing for so long. So it was nice to bring Metalingus with me just to have that little bit of something familiar.”
Adam Copeland on his return to wrestling:
“All of this has been such a second act, really, and what’s been really fun about it is that I feel like I brought back more mentally.”
