WWE Hall of Famer Booker T can’t fault Adam Copeland for signing with AEW, stating that the Rated-R Superstar is doing what he wants.
Speaking on a recent edition of his “Hall of Fame” podcast, Booker T addressed Copeland’s debut last weekend in the concluding moments of AEW WrestleDream 2023. He said,
“As far as Edge goes, like I said, he’s made his career, He’s done everything. And to be able to give back a little bit from a mentor’s perspective, I think he’s doing the right thing. [He] can still get paid a whole lot of money to not do a whole lot and beat my body up. I think he’s doing the right thing. And at the end of the day, I think you got to do what’s right for you and what’s right for your family.
“I think if you do that, it’s not going to matter what anybody else thinks about you. You cannot go through this life wondering what somebody else thinks about you because of a decision that you made for your family. When you start doing that, you’re definitely backing yourself into a corner. So for me, I’m giving Edge all the props in the world for stepping out and doing what he wants to do.”
Copeland’s first match will take place next Tuesday on Dynamite and will see the Hall of Famer face Luchasaurus. The show will go head-to-head with a star-studded WWE NXT.
