Adam Copeland was certainly feeling appreciated when Beth Phoenix went on a date with him during what was the first ‘Edge Appreciation Night.’
On a recent edition of the “Insight” podcast, Copeland discussed his relationship with his fellow WWE Hall of Famer. He said,
“[Our first date] was Edge Appreciation Night in Toronto. It was kinda’ like, ‘This is your Life.’ I was almost embarrassed out there, but earlier in the day, [Beth and I] had started talking. We had talked before, but we actually sat down and had a really nice conversation just randomly sitting at ringside.
“And then I started realizing how many similarities that we had. She had trained in Toronto. She had trained with Ron Hutchison and wrestled in the same dive bars in Parkdale that I wrestled in. I had no idea of that. She just did it seven years after me. There’s a seven year age gap. So we started talking, and then I reached out to [Natalya]. I was like, ‘I didn’t know Beth was that. What’s her deal?’ And that was really the start of it.”
Copeland and Phoenix teamed together a handful of times in WWE in 2022 and would feud with and defeat fellow real-life couple The Miz and Maryse.
The couple has two daughters, born in 2013 and 2016. Copeland and Phoenix married in October 2016 on the AEW TNT Champion’s 43rd birthday.
