ECW original Tommy Dreamer recently made an appearance on an episode of Busted Open Radio, where he talked about a number of topics including how AEW has handled the careers of new TNT Champion Adam Copeland and Christian Cage.
Dreamer said, “My other praise of AEW is both guys were done. Adam Copeland had an amazing WWE career, an amazing WWE run… I’m sure you could have still seen this in WWE, it just was a much-needed change.”
On where Copeland would have been if he stayed in WWE:
”If Adam Copeland still stayed in WWE, where would he fit in… If he was still there, he would have turned heel and been a heel against somebody because they were so stacked on babyfaces. But then where does the storyline go? That doesn’t fit for him anymore. So, a great move.”
On how WWE handled the career of Cage in 2021:
“WWE could have done this. They just chose not to. And Christian was — his return, that same Royal Rumble, Christian showed up. Then it was just like more of a one-off than anything. It proved that he can still go.”
