Newly-signed All Elite Wrestling star Adam Copeland (fka Edge) took part in the post-AEW WrestleDream press conference and discussed several topics, including why he made the decision to join AEW.

“Part of coming here is that I want to contribute, I wanted to help, I just felt like here, I’d really be able to do that and have the opportunity to be able to do that. I look at an entire fresh roster of faces and so many talent that I’ve never laid hands on before, and that to me, as a person who is driven by challenges, that for me was the biggest thing.

I’ve never been in a ring with Samoa Joe, or stood in a ring with Sting before tonight. I see Nick Wayne, Swerve, there are so many possibilities for me. At this stage of my career, that is so enticing and exciting. I felt free, it felt fun, I felt the same feeling I had when I would come out for my indie shows when I was Adam Impact or Sexton Hardcastle, it was this brand new thing I always wanted to do. That feeling, I felt it out there.

At this stage in my career, to feel that, that’s special, 31 years in to feel that way, that’s a gift. This is all I’ve ever wanted to do and this feels like an opportunity to come in, and not just come in every three months. I’m going to be there every week, I’m a full-time guy, I want to do that for as long as that is possible. I feel that’s how I can help the most, more than anything, that’s what I’m here to do.”
