During an hour-long interview with Ariel Helwani, AEW
President Tony Khan said that WWE never reached out to AEW
to have Adam “Edge” Copeland be part of John Cena’s farewell
tour.
Edge was one of Cena’s most fierce rivals throughout the
years, with the two wrestling countless times against each
other.
Asked point blank if WWE did reach out to him to maybe work
out a deal, Khan replied in the negative, but said never say
never in the wrestling business.
“Never say never in wrestling, because I would imagine they
could always extend the date past the end of the year,” Khan
said referring to Cena’s final match with WWE.
“But no, Adam’s going to be here with us through the year,”
he continued, confirming that Copeland’s deal only runs till
the end of 2025.
“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,” Khan said.
