At WWE Extreme Rules 2022, Adam Copeland (Edge) competed against Finn Balor in an I Quit match.
On a recent edition of the “Insight” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix revealed that Copeland worked the match despite having very little sleep.
Copeland and Balor went head-to-head for thirty minutes, with Phoenix getting involved in the finish. Rhea Ripley helped Balor clinch the victory as she used the threat of a Con-Chair-To on Phoenix to force Copeland to quit.
Phoenix discussed the match and revealed that Copeland didn’t have the opportunity to get any significant rest before the match due to his filming commitments for Disney’s Percy Jackson And The Olympians.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On the scheduling of the show: “Percy Jackson filming was booked, it was butted right up to the pay-per-view, the I Quit match. That was in Philadelphia on pay-per-view. And so Adam had to fly all the way from Vancouver to Philadelphia overnight, basically not sleep, and then have a 40-minute match with Finn Balor which was an I Quit match.”
On getting his ring gear to him: “I flew his gear, everything that he needed for the match, I flew it from Asheville to Philadelphia and met him at 11 o’clock in the morning pay-per-view day after he had been filming Percy Jackson for like two weeks and charter flight straight to Philadelphia. Basically, he laid down in the hotel for about 30 minutes, and then we had to go to the building and then put the spool thing together.”
