AEW Denies WWE Contact Over Adam Copeland for John Cena's Final Match

Tony Khan says Copeland is committed through year-end, limiting chances of a cross-promotion cameo during Cena’s December farewell.

Overview

  • In an interview on The Ariel Helwani Show, Tony Khan said WWE did not approach AEW about using Adam Copeland, formerly Edge, for John Cena’s retirement tour.
  • Khan stated Copeland will remain with AEW through the end of the year and described him as a major part of the company.
  • He noted Copeland is currently away filming, following Copeland’s earlier decision to step back to spend time with family after AEW All Out.
  • Khan added “never say never,” indicating a crossover would only be conceivable if Cena’s schedule extends beyond the year.
  • Speculation over Cena’s opponent continues across WWE and AEW circles, with names such as Chris Jericho discussed based on contract timing.
