Following his blockbuster return at AEW Worlds End last year, Adam Copeland changed his name to Cope. The company also referred to him by his new short name for some time. However, the former Edge has been referred to as 'Adam Copeland' rather than 'Cope' for the past several weeks. There have been speculations about his official name change as well.

Meanwhile, the official roster page of All Elite Wrestling has apparently confirmed the name change. The Rated-R Superstar is now officially listed on the website as Adam Copeland instead of Cope.

Adam Copeland is expected to be off TV for a while, as he announced his departure during a recent episode of Dynamite. The Rated-R Superstar was concerned after what happened at All Out 2025, as he said goodbye to his tag partner, Christian Cage.

During an interview with The Sportster, Tony Khan expressed his gratitude toward Beth for showing up at AEW All Out.

"She was fantastic … I was excited to have her be a part of this event. I was excited to have her celebrate such a great night for her family. What should have been a great moment for Adam Copeland to celebrate with his wife and for the Copeland family, I was so happy to have Beth Copeland there. I was really glad she participated in AEW All Out," Tony said.

Only time will tell if Beth Phoenix will come back to All Elite Wrestling after what happened at All Out.
