Adam Copeland reveals final year of in-ring competition at AEW Dynamite

During the special 3-hour edition of AEW Dynamite and Collision on 10/14, Adam Copeland made some announcements following his Clockwork Carnage qualifying match against Josh Alexander. Defeating the Walking Weapon to enter the AEW World Championship match at WrestleDream (as recapped by Jerome Wilen in his ongoing live coverage of the show), the former AEW World Tag Team Champion addressed the status of his tag partner Christian Cage, revealing he sustained three broken ribs with one broken in three places, along with a collapsed lung early on in the match. Pivoting from this, Copeland revealed that after what happened to Cage, he realized that he is “aging out” of the business before announcing that 2027 will be his last year in professional wrestling. Copeland will be a part of the Clockwork Carnage match for the AEW World Championship at WrestleDream, emanating from the Addition Financial Arena in Orlando, Florida on Saturday, October 17.
