Adam Copeland, the ex-AEW TNT Champion, broke his shin bone during a match against Malakai Black in a Barbed Wire Steel Cage Match at the AEW Double or Nothing 2024 pay-per-view.
Due to this injury, he had to give up his title and have an operation. Thile speaking to Freddie Prinze Jr. in his Wrestling with Freddie podcast, the former TNT Champion said he wishes the injury didn’t happen before All In at Wembley Stadium in August.
“The regret that I have in this injury happening when it has, was Wembley Stadium. I was really, really pumped for Wembley because throughout everything and all the different venues I’ve been — and even all the dumps that I’ve wrestled or the barns that I’ve wrestled or just whatever right — Wembley, man, like I just think of Freddy Mercury I think of Queen. That’s where I go and it’s like, ‘Oh Wembley I can’t wait.’ Well, looks like I’m gonna have to wait longer,” Adam Copeland said.
