Adam Copeland issues major statement on his retirement!

AEW star Adam Copeland recently opened up about his retirement and when he wants to hang up his boots. He has been one of the top stars of the Jacksonville-based promotion. He has made a significant impact on the company despite becoming All Elite just a couple of years ago.

The 52-year-old star has hinted at his retirement multiple times in the last few months. He recently reunited with his longtime friend, Christian Cage, on-screen. Both veterans have been absent from TV since the All Out pay-per-view. The duo might return soon. Fans have been wondering who will stand across the Rated-R Superstar in his final match.

While speaking on Inside the Ropes, Adam Copeland stated that whoever his final opponent is should take advantage of the opportunity given to him and run with the passed torch.

“Um, you know, more than anything, I want to make sure that whoever it is at the very end, we can put the biggest exclamation point on them possible so they can take that going forward, whoever that is. And I guess just making sure that it sticks. So, you can’t do it for everybody. You have to make sure that when you do it, it’s done right so it can stick, and now that person going forward can have that thing," he said. [H/T - Ringside News]

Tony Khan says Adam Copeland isn't leaving AEW anytime soon

The former TNT Champion was rumored to be involved in John Cena's retirement tour, given the timing of the hiatus.

When asked about Adam Copeland's hiatus on the Aerial Helwani Show, Tony Khan said the Rated-R Superstar is bound to AEW for a long time and will return soon after his projects are done.

"Never say never in wrestling, because I would imagine they could always extend [John Cena's] date past the end of the year. But no – Adam's going to be here with us through the year. Adam Copeland is a huge part of AEW, and I have so much respect for him. I really, really like Adam a lot, and I'm glad to have him here. Even though he's away filming, he's still with us and will continue to be," he said.

It will be interesting to see what is next for Copeland when he returns.
