Adam Copeland was a recent guest on the “Talk Is Jericho” podcast to discuss a variety of topics, including why he decided to take the risk of leaving WWE for AEW.
Additionally, the former Edge revealed that he’s well aware that “stepping out of his comfort zone” can take a bit to get used to.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On leaving WWE: “Any relationship of 25 years … I had my first match with them in ’96. From that point forward, I never went anywhere else. So yeah, there’s a massive like, ‘Ok, I’m stepping off the cliff here. How does this go?’ But that’s also really exhilarating, too. That’s really fun [and] it’s about challenging yourself. This is a challenge, and it’s not the safe thing. I could have gone with the safe thing.”
On Jericho taking the risk when he joined AEW: “You did the exact same thing. Sometimes, you just have to do that — step out of a comfort zone — and kinda take the warm blanket off and see what else is out there… [My friends] here have been telling me their stories of having fun, and again, at this stage [of my career] … fun, challenges, getting to work with my best friend. I mean, common!”
