As AEW approaches the new year, they will be getting back one of its top stars who has been absent from television.
Adam Copeland has been sidelined for several months with a broken leg, sustained during a daring dive off a steel cage at Double or Nothing. During his recovery, Copeland worked on a film project and was medically cleared to return to action several weeks ago.
During Wednesday’s episode of AEW Dynamite, FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) announced their plans to confront the Death Riders on the January 1, 2025, edition of Dynamite. This episode will be taking place in FTR’s hometown of Asheville, North Carolina.
FTR has a score to settle after being attacked by the Death Riders on the December 14 episode of Collision. While the duo will be medically cleared to wrestle at Fight for the Fallen, they hinted that they wouldn’t be coming to the January 1 showdown alone.
This has led to speculation Copeland may join them due to his alliance with the tag team and him living in the area. According to Fightful Select’s Sean Ross Sapp, Copeland’s return is expected imminently.
Fans are buzzing about the possibility of Copeland teaming with FTR, especially in their shared hometown, which would undoubtedly make for an unforgettable moment in AEW history.
