Adam Copeland Says He Already Had His Sendoff, AEW Contract Uncertain Ahead of Double or Nothing

Adam Copeland told Clutch Points he already experienced a retirement sendoff in 2011 after a neck injury and that his AEW contract has added time for injuries and outside projects — including a broken leg and filming Beekeeper 2 and Percy Jackson — leaving him unsure when the deal actually expires. He emphasized any future farewell will be on his terms and that he doesn’t need a big, tearful sendoff, noting he was forced to retire with cervical spinal stenosis before returning at the 2020 Royal Rumble.

At 52 Copeland acknowledged the wear and tear and the benefits of a reduced schedule, saying time off can make returning bumps feel worse and be disconcerting on live TV. He and Christian Cage will challenge FTR for the AEW Tag Team Titles in an “I Quit” match at Double or Nothing — with a tag-team retirement stipulation if they lose — on May 24 at Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, a city Copeland says holds special meaning after his first PPV at SummerSlam ’98 in Madison Square Garden.
