Chris Jericho predicts big things from Adam Copeland 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.
During the AEW WrestleDream post-show media scrum, Chris Jericho was asked to share his thoughts on Copeland joining AEW. Jericho would remark that he feels like Copeland will do the best work of his career in All Elite Wrestling.
“I’ve known Adam since 1995. He loves wrestling. Sometimes, in other places, that love of wrestling kind of gets squashed and warped a bit, maybe. It’s not like that in AEW. When some of the other guys came, like FTR and Adam Cole and those guys, they couldn’t believe the difference and the vibe of what we have here. Talking with Adam and seeing him come out to the ring, he’s super stoked and super excited and super motivated. When you’re motivated, that’s when great wrestlers become even better and more legendary. He’s already a great wrestler. He’s a first-round Hall of Famer. Now that he’s motivated again, I think we’re going to see some of the best work Adam Copeland has ever done now here in AEW,”
Chris Jericho
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.
Jericho is scheduled to team with Kenny Omega on Wednesday’s Dynamite to take on Sammy Guevara and Konosuke Takeshita in tag team action.
