When negotiations were said to have started between Adam Copeland (Edge) and AEW

During an appearance on the Maggie & Perloff podcast, AEW President Tony Khan was asked when the negotiations started between Adam Copeland (Edge) and the company…

“Well, not long after a Grand Slam up there in New York, we had Adam Copeland reach out. He was out of contract. He is one of the most popular and, frankly, one of the most successful wrestlers of all time. To have Adam Copeland come here, too. It’s a huge deal for us.

And tonight on TBS, he makes his debut. He’s only wrestled in one place, WWE, for decades. And tonight’s the first time he’s ever wrestled on TV anywhere else. And it’s on TBS tonight, 8 p.m. Eastern, 7 p.m. Central, usually on. So we’re going past the 10:00 hour tonight. It’s going to be such a great show on TBS tonight, WWE for decades. And tonight’s the first time he’s ever wrestled on TV anywhere else. And it’s on TBS tonight, 8 p.m. Eastern, 7 p.m. Central, usually on Wednesdays. But tonight is a special title Tuesday. And like you said, the debut of the Rated-R Superstar Adam Copeland, one of the greatest wrestlers of my lifetime coming to AEW.” (quotes courtesy of WrestlingNews.co)
