He did this during the match between the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion, Gunther, and multi-time world champion, The Miz. At a point in the match, Cole named the Hall of Famers who have gotten to hold the titles at a point in their careers.
He mentioned the likes of Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Shawn Michaels, and Edge. This was one of the first direct mentions of the Rated-R Superstar since his move to AEW almost two months ago at WrestleDream.

Copeland had quite a career in WWE. He competed under them for over two decades. Not only was he part of the Grand Slam Champions in the promotion's history, but his accolades earned him a spot in the company's Hall of Fame.
It was interesting to see Michael Cole and the WWE commentary team give credit to Edge despite already competing with one of their rival companies.
How do you feel about Michael Cole giving Edge his flowers? Let us know in the comments section below.

Enzo Curabo
Enzo is a Pro Wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda, reporting on AEW. He is currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Multimedia Studies, which influenced his decision of taking up sports writing professionally, and has been an avid fan of the athletic theater since childhood. He believes readers deserve authentic and unique content and aims to report in a manner which pro wrestling fans can easily relate to.
Growing up, Enzo admired former world champions like AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, Bryan Danielson, Triple H, and Randy Orton for their finishing moves. As an adult, he started to appreciate their character work, as they juggled between heel and babyface gimmicks.
If allowed to produce one final storyline involving his idols, he would have Orton lock horns with John Cena, would be their one last big feud as both of them seem to be approaching the tail end of their careers.
Other than pro wrestling, Enzo enjoys keeping up with Basketball, Football, and Formula One. He also loves watching films, playing video games, and listening to music.
