8-time champion returns to AEW to accept Adam Copeland’s (fka Edge) open challenge on Collision

For the second straight week, Adam Copeland (fka Edge) has appeared on Collision for what he calls The Cope Open challenge. On Saturday, he was challenged by Lee Moriarty.

The 8-time champion came out with Shane Taylor, as he is said to be the pride and joy of Shane Taylor Promotions. This was his first AEW appearance since November 25, 2023, when he took on Keith Lee.

On the other hand, The Rated-R Superstar recently reigned supreme against Griff Garrison after the latter accepted his open challenge last week. He has been looking to regain momentum after losing the TNT Championship to Christian Cage at Worlds End 2023.

Despite Lee Moriarty's and Shane Taylor's valiant efforts, Adam Copeland emerged victorious yet again, making the former tap out with his Grindhouse submission hold.

After the match, he had some words to say to his former best friend, Christian Cage. He wanted to remind The Patriarch that he had not forgotten about him and that he would come after him soon. It will be interesting to see what's next in the intriguing storyline. Will the Canadian icons lock horns again? Only time will tell.
