Why Adam "Edge" Copeland Joined AEW + CM Punk vs. Drew McIntyre | Busted Open

[@shaneloughran4052]

I think Drew and Punk killed it. I think the crowd was just torn by the end of the segment, they wanted to cheer CM Punk but Drew was spitting the truth and won some fans over and they were unsure who to cheer for.

[@johnnymorningstar2855]

Great to see Adam just living his best life. He's given and continues to give so much back to the business. Personally I liked seeing him in the ring with Griff, it was like going back in time to see a young Edge. He nailed the promo and wrestled a solid match. Anyone looking to come up in the business can learn so much from Adam. All in all as a life long wrestling fan I love to see that one of my all time favorites is still wrestling

[@williamspitznagel1811]

I was in Atlanta for Adams WrestleMania. We all thought it was his last. So happy he has more in the tank and can create more especially with some of the youngsters

[@theone3129]

7:52: LA Knight, Drew McIntyre, Cody Rhodes, John Cena (again), Solo Siko, Logan Paul, Gunther, Johnny Gargano, Sami Zayn, Shinsuke Nakumara, Bobby Lashley, Dragon Lee, Kevin Ownes (Televised Match not including the live event steel cage match), Montez Ford, Pete Dunne........................ I think there was enough for Edge to face off against in WWE before he may have went to AEW

[@JohnnyBoy89762]

“I was excited to work with all the young guys” is a really cute way of saying Tony Khan gave me a shit ton of money lol there’s plenty of young guys in WWE and NXT Edge could’ve worked with

[@fabiopatacchiola5312]

Copeland is one of my top 5 wrestler of all time and I think one of the nicest guy in the pro wrestling business

[@Reign_Fire2022]

How funny I just tweeted Adam of his brood entrance,and his solo intro video...think that you know me,this happened twice today..crazy🥂🤘🏻

Why they lying to edge/adam aew a mess the match with him and christian is good the storyline horrible with nick wayne mom..him wining and losing the belt in 20 seconds

[@michaelfitzgerald5207]

Your whole comment shows you aren't actually paying attention to AEW. The patriarch storyline is great, and especially because Adam was raised by a single mother, so..... unless you are completely clueless you should be able to see how the story arc can come full circle between Adam and Christian.

Bully should stop pushing this “freedom” thing because it just doesn’t make sense, especially for Dolph and Edge.

[@MichaelJaner-q4s]

It totally makes sense. Especially once Adam give his answer and said it's so much fun. Nick pretty much said the same thing.

[@braxtonjones3433]

It’s just business until the deal doesn’t get done. Then it’s freedom. 😅

[@TheMattMan98]

It’s a true story and Edge actually mentioned it in his presser when he arrived to AEW that he was free.

[@shoWbitz]

WWE got 69 writers. AEW got none. There's your "freedom" thing

[@johnnieriot13]

I disagree. Even the “pipe bomb” was scripted and Hunter pitched most of what Punk said. In AEW if you don’t pitch your own story, you don’t have a story majority of the time. No one is working from a script. If you can’t give a promo in AEW it’s apparent. In WWE it’s the opposite. Not saying one is better than the other, just stating facts

[@markuscombs5805]

I wish that this interview would have been 100% honesty. This story has been horrible, the run he is on is the worst of his career. The ratings and attendance prove how bad this all has gotten. The match with cage was a garbage match that really took a hit on their careers

[@Reign_Fire2022]

Was it better on WWE? Get your head out your ass and stop living in a one world wrestling arena....he's enjoying his time doing what he loves and being active..unlike some other brand we know😏😄

[@DaltonRiley25]

He went from the major leagues down to the minor leagues of wrestling

[@pinkribbonskies5731]

Its good to see this guy still be able to do what he loves at the level he is. Seems like he genuinely loves this business.

[@maxgrieve]

Not to dump on Dave's Cody-centric view here, but tbh Punk running down his list of people who won't stop him fits into a strong holding pattern to build to the Rumble: there's a number of different guys who each have their own unique motivations to win, so why would they act all benevolent towards each other in the run-up? It's every man for himself. Jey Uso has a unique motivation too, so it ain't like he should act supporting cast to Cody (or anyone else) either. He should say he should be the one to unseat the Tribal Chief, and he'll toss out all 29 other men to make it happen if necessary. Why wouldn't he? Same goes for Drew here. Doesn't mean everyone's a tweener all of a sudden, it just prods the audience towards taking more people seriously ahead of what's often one of the most predictable match results of the year. Cody's desperate! Drew's desperate! Punk's desperate! Jey's desperate! Something's gotta give, folks! Tune in live this Saturday on pay-per-view etc etc. Maybe that's why this segment may have felt a little weird. It isn't really in service of a direct one-on-one feud, but really only painting in shades of grey before the Rumble. Drew and Punk aren't really each other's endgame here.

[@LazcoBawskee]

Adam and Bully TLC Legends Forever!!🔥💯🙌

[@TheGreatVivek7]

I’m from India and ‘Faith No More’ has been my favourite band since GTA San Andreas. You guys talked about how music takes you back in time, and I couldn’t agree more. I remember listening to this music playing my favourite game, having the time of my life and fast forward 20 years, I’m 34 years old now and I know now what midlife crisis means. How life has come back full circle.

[@woodycooter30]

Freedom to perform in front of half empty arenas and dailys place...Lol. What a stain on his career

[@Epsilonsama]

Drew bitching because he is working heel. It makes sense for him, a guy so big shouldn't be saying like that.

[@VetGoalie76]

Drew bitches about EVERYTHING even when Punk wasn't in the company. I was hoping he leaves WWE and walks into AEW as the next big thing for them.

[@CoffeeStain-Music]

@14:08 Look, I know we scoff at match ratings, but when I hear "judged by people who never take a bump" I roll my eyes. You all spent time talking about music because you're fans and love it. I'm sure you've heard songs and judged whether they are good or bad. Now, show me your music degree. Show me the hit records you produced. Show me how skilled a singer or songwriter you are. Where are your credentials to be a proper judge of music? See? Its silly. It doesn't take a seasoned ring veteran to tell if a match is good or bad.

[@markcafebrown2883]

38:20 not even tryna defend cm punk regardless of him losing in ufc, he got accepted with no fights. A non ranked dude in a random promotion destroys drew in a real fight those muscles mean nothing if he has no training. Edit: Brock, Bobby, Shinsuke, and punk all have done mma and would legit beat the whole roster. Seth does a lot of grappling work as well so maybe him.

[@DeathofaNINJA]

Punk is hopefully going heel at the right time.

[@tharukaepaarachchi6110]

Drew's character right now is brilliant. Yes, he is a heel but he is reasonable one who will do some bad things to mess people up. The segment between Drew and Punk was great and I am loving this royal rumble build-ups with promos between Rhea and Becky, Drew and Punk and Cody and Drew segments.

[@SirJayUK]

I'd love to talk to Adam about his love for music. How it gives him goosebumps and such, I've never felt understood by someone else talking about their love for Music. Alice in Chains are my all time fav

[@dizzolve9189]

They keep implying that he's going to teach the younger talent, the difference between the last guy and Adam is Adam didn't come in there to critique. He came in to wrestle and he's passively helping the newer talent. Teaching isn't his main goal, but he's better at it than the guy who "wanted" to do it.

[@yusufgazi7]

Edge should have stayed in WWE, should have been the first World Heavyweight Champion. I get that he wanted to work with Christian though

[@DKDove]

[@gollumandeowyn]

Look I will always love Edge. I cried my eyes out when he returned at the 2020 Rumble. I have neck issues. I know how impossible things can feel with those. But Edge is in AEW because WWE wasn't interested in using him much anymore. He's frigging Edge, yes, but since his return... how much value has he really had? I don't feel like his work in the last few years has been all that great. Lots of hardcore/hell in a cell/no dq matches to hide how much wrestling ability he's actually lost. And I think the audience, as much as they pop at his music, kinda ho-hummed through his matches. They still cared about Edge, but they didn't care about any of the angles or storylines he was in anymore. There's all sorts of young talent in WWE/NXT he could work with, but WWE would rather have visibly young talent vs visibly young talent for the visual effect alone than older talent. There's a few exceptions still Punk/Roman/Lesnar, but those are guys who are genuine mega-stars that get people talking. And notice how they (even with the VERY FRESHLY RETURNED PUNK) are not on every show. That's by design. WWE wants there product to be 95% young talent only. Not just the wrestlers. Besides Michael Cole, all of WWE's commentary, ring announcers, backstage interviewers are YOUNG, ATTRACTIVE TALENT. Edge is in AEW because WWE didn't want to work him as often as he wanted to work. Same as Big Show. Same as Mark Henry. Same as Christian. Same as JR. Same as Ziggler.
