On a recent edition of the “WrestleBinge” podcast, Gangrel discussed his surprise appearance at AEW Double Or Nothing 2024, where he reunited with his former stablemate from The Brood, Adam Copeland (Edge).
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Adam Copeland’s injury: “I checked on him and you know I thought what I was hoping it was just an ankle sprain or something like that, and then I got on a red eye. When I landed I texted him again, and he said he had went to the hospital and it was a fractured tibia or something and he was gonna need surgery or something. So he’s home now, and this such a sad thing to happen to such a great guy you know.”
Gangrel on Copeland pitching him to be appear in AEW: “When he went over and he chose to start working with AEW, he still had that idea … he called me up and said, ‘Hey, these guys all thought it’d be really cool, what do you think about coming in and finishing up that idea and coming out at Double Or Nothing and helping me out and having a little reunion,’ and I said, ‘I would love to’ … he told me there’s no way a broken leg was going to stop him from having that moment.”
Copeland defeated Malakai Black in the Steel Cage Match to defend the TNT Title at AEW Double Or Nothing 2024. Unfortunately, the Rated R Superstar sustained a broken leg during the match and underwent surgery, leading to an indefinite absence from in-ring competition.
