WWE Hall of Famer Adam “Edge” Copeland recently appeared on Chris Jericho’s Talk Is Jericho podcast to talk about a number of topics including how his character in AEW is essentially his real self unlike Edge in WWE, who was just a character.
Copeland said, “It’s essentially me now. Edge was always a character. Even in this last run, it was basically me out there and I’d even say in promos, ‘This is pretty much Adam at this stage. Edge was just a name.’ It’s odd I guess to put that skin on over the years, but with this last run I don’t feel like it really was.”
Copeland also talked about how the possibilities are wide open with his character and how there are so many different paths they can go.
“All of the real ‘Rated-R’ stuff gets left behind. Now it’s just the person behind the performer that’s almost front-and-center … and it was also kind of freeing. The possibilities are wide open, and that’s fun. There’s so many different paths we can go.”
