WWE Hall of Famers Edge and Beth Phoenix have long been celebrated as one of wrestling’s most beloved power couples. Recently, Phoenix took to social media to share a light-hearted message ahead of a significant match for her husband, now known as AEW star Adam Copeland.
While Phoenix hasn’t made on-screen appearances alongside Copeland in AEW, her unwavering support shines through on platforms like Instagram. Copeland is gearing up for what promises to be a career-defining bout on tonight’s Dynamite.
The seasoned wrestler, at 50 years old, will square off against his longtime friend and rival Christian Cage in an intense I Quit Match, with Cage putting his AEW TNT Championship on the line.
In anticipation of the event, Edge revealed a new addition to his arsenal: a board embedded with nails, aptly named Spike. Phoenix, showcasing her trademark humor, shared a snapshot of her husband posing with his newfound weapon on Instagram. The caption playfully alluded to their personal dynamics, stating,
“Wish he looked at me like this.”
Adam and Beth previously teamed up in WWE, participating in two memorable matches during Edge’s final stint with the company.
Their victories against formidable opponents like The Miz and Maryse at Royal Rumble 2022, and Finn Balor and Rhea Ripley at Elimination Chamber the following year, further solidified their status as a dynamic duo within the wrestling world.
In a heartwarming twist, Adam Copeland, formerly known as Edge, recently had the opportunity to meet his childhood idol, Hockey Hall of Famer Wayne Gretzky.
Reflecting on his upbringing as a wrestling enthusiast in Toronto, Canada, Copeland fondly recalled attending WrestleMania VI, where he witnessed a monumental match between Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior, igniting his passion for the sport.
Despite admiring wrestling icons like Mr. Perfect and Shawn Michaels, Gretzky held a special place in Copeland’s heart as his ultimate hero.
Their long-awaited encounter finally came to fruition backstage at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, resulting in a cherished moment for Copeland, who shared his gratitude and excitement on social media.
Currently enjoying a five-match winning streak in AEW singles competition, Copeland continues to carve out his legacy in the ring. His recent victories underscore his resilience and skill, proving that age is no barrier to success in professional wrestling.
