Wrestling fans, mark your calendars! Adam Copeland, better known as Edge, has revealed his plan to hang up his boots in the near future. In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet on Insights, the Hall of Famer disclosed that he will be retiring from in-ring action in about a year and a half.
Copeland’s announcement comes as a surprise, considering his successful return to the wrestling scene in 2020 after a nine-year hiatus. The Rated-R Superstar made a shocking move to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) in October 2023 and has been a regular feature on AEW TV. He currently holds the prestigious TNT Championship, a title he has successfully defended against formidable opponents like Brodie King in a No-Disqualification match.
Despite his limited time in AEW, Copeland has expressed his enthusiasm for trying new things and exploring fresh opportunities. In various interviews, he has emphasized his enjoyment of his time in AEW, which has allowed him to experiment and push his creative boundaries.
When asked about his ideal opponent for his final match, Copeland listed a few notable names, including Kenny Omega, Jon Moxley, and Will Ospreay. This has sparked excitement among fans, who are eager to see Edge’s last hurrah in the ring.
In the meantime, Copeland will continue to defend his TNT Championship, with his next title defense scheduled against Kyle O’Reilly on Collision this week. As the countdown begins, fans can expect Edge to bring his signature intensity and passion to the ring, making the most of his remaining time as an active wrestler.
As Edge’s retirement draws near, the wrestling world is abuzz with speculation about his final matches and potential feuds. One thing is certain – Edge will leave an indelible mark on the wrestling industry, and his impending retirement will be a milestone event that will be remembered for years to come.
