Adam Copeland is one of the most accomplished wrestling veterans in the history of the industry. He rose to prominence in the sports entertainment juggernaut, WWE, as Edge, and won multiple championships and accolades. He returned to the ring in 2020 after staying retired for nine years due to neck injuries and had a three-year stint before signing with AEW in 2023.The Rated-R Superstar is currently on a hiatus from AEW television. He was last seen around the All Out pay-per-view, following which he took a break to pursue his Hollywood commitments. However, Cope is expected to return to All Elite Wrestling soon, as he is one of the top fixtures in the Jacksonville-based promotion.However, his return bookings should be done carefully by AEW President and CEO Tony Khan. Here are the three mistakes that he must not make once Adam Copeland returns to their live television programming.#3. Adam Copeland should not bury any up-and-coming star to win a titleAdam Copeland has won 30+ championships in his illustrious wrestling career, including becoming a two-time TNT Champion in All Elite Wrestling. Moreover, he is a WWE Hall of Famer and has claimed every possible accolade in professional wrestling. Therefore, once the former 11-time WWE World Champion makes his comeback to the AEW landscape, he should not derail any rising star's momentum for the sake of a championship. Instead, Cope could be placed in a title feud like for the TNT Championship, a title he has elevated with his two reigns, and lose to the defending champion in an explosive bout. In doing so, he would help build a future star who could help carry the company after the veteran hangs up his boots for good.#2. Cope should not be put into the world title sceneEver since he made his debut at the 2023 AEW WrestleDream pay-per-view event, Adam Copeland has largely stayed away from the top of the mountain, i.e, the AEW World Championship. He did feud with Jon Moxley for the World Title, culminating in a marquee match at the 2025 AEW Revolution show, where he lost. Upon his return to Tony Khan's promotion, he should not be put in the AEW World Title picture; instead, he should make way for deserving talent like Darby Allin, Kazuchika Okada, or Will Ospreay to be elevated to that top spot.#1. He should continue his feud with FTROne of the most logical bookings for Adam Copeland upon his AEW comeback would be to continue his rivalry with FTR. His former friends-turned-foes lost to him and Christian Cage at the 2025 AEW All Out pay-per-view. However, they mentally decimated him as a handcuffed Cope had to watch his debuting wife and WWE Hall of Famer, Beth Copeland, take a Spike Piledriver from FTR. The sight seemingly destroyed him, which led to his leaving AEW in storyline. The story remains unfinished, and Tony Khan should write the next chapter of this feud, instead of completely abandoning the program, possibly with Cope coming back with Beth and Christian to re-ignite the rivalry.
