AEW star Adam Copeland is one of the biggest names on the promotion's roster. The Rated R-Superstar teamed up with Christian Cage to take on FTR this past weekend at the All Out pay-per-view. The duo won the match, but it came at a great personal cost to Copeland.

After their loss, FTR attacked the duo and handcuffed Copeland to the ropes before executing a Spike Piledriver on his wife, Beth Phoenix. This prompted Copeland to announce that he's taking an indefinite break from AEW during tonight's edition of Dynamite.

Following his revelation, fans took to social media, reacting to his statement that he might not return to the promotion. Many fans have interpreted this announcement as a hint that Copeland might return to WWE for a final match with John Cena, who is currently on his Retirement Tour.

Adam Copeland paid tribute to a former WWE Champion at AEW All Out 2025

Adam Copeland had a long and storied career in WWE before joining All Elite Wrestling in 2023. The former TNT Champion made a name for himself in the Stamford-based promotion and developed a memorable rivalry with 17-time WWE world champion John Cena.

During his final SmackDown match against Sami Zayn, Cena paid tribute to the former Edge by performing his signature spear. The Rated-R Superstar did the same at AEW All Out, where he executed Cena's Five-knuckle Shuffle and Attitude Adjustment before making his signature hand sign to pay his respect to his former rival, who is about to end his in-ring career.

With the two professional rivals signed to different promotions currently, it's difficult to imagine them coming face-to-face. However, this gesture from both of them was a nice moment for the fans to cherish.
