Adam Copeland comments on making his return to AEW at the 2024 Worlds End PPV event

As seen during the 2024 AEW Worlds End PPV event, Adam Copeland returned to AEW television for the first time since breaking his leg at the Double or Nothing show. While speaking to media after Worlds End, Copeland commented on being back…

“It’s one of those deals where, if you watch my career, it’s not out of my character to do insane things. It’s kind of what I do, every once in a while. I’ll get a hair up my ass and decide, ‘Yeah, I’m going to dive through a flaming table, sure.’ That’s just me. It’s kind of hardwired into me. I also think it’s part of why I’ve gotten to where I’ve gotten. That being said, I realize I’m closer to the tail end of my career than the beginning, and I have kids now, so there is a different mindset that goes into it. In terms of recovery, I’m still lucky in that I recover like Wolverine. Part of that is, I just go after it. The day I can go after it is the day I do it.

I’ve actually been cleared for a while, but Tony [Khan] and I had a conversation and our area got hit my a hurricane. It was much more important to be home. We just got the water boil advisory lifted three weeks ago. We’ve been using bottled water to brush our teeth and wash our hands for close to three months. When real life hits like that, something like this has to take second place. Luckily, we’re at a place where that is considered and respected. In terms of being back and ready, I’m ready to go. Every month for me, at this stage, feels like a year. I have to get in and get cooking.” (quote courtesy of Colin Tessier)
