Adam Copeland's (fka Edge) "damage control" promo on AEW Dynamite raises big question, according to WWE legend
WWE Hall of Famer Adam Copeland (fka Edge) opened the latest episode of Dynamite with a passionate promo, where he mentioned how AEW had some of the best pro wrestlers on its roster. Wrestling legend Bully Ray has shared his thoughts on the segment.
On this week's Dynamite, Adam Copeland touched upon the importance of AEW's existence in the pro wrestling industry. The Rated-R Superstar also added how he was having a lot of fun in the promotion. Many fans on the internet implied that it was a 'damage control' promo after CM Punk seemingly buried the company in a recent interview on MMA Hour.
Bully Ray (aka Bubba Ray Dudley) seemingly echoes the same sentiment as some fans on the internet. On the latest episode of Busted Open, he said the following about the former Edge's promo:
"The first note that I took was 'Adam Copeland is doing damage control for AEW'. I'm gonna pose a question for you guys right off the back before I even get into Copeland's promo. You heard it, you saw his enthusiasm, you could hear the tone and inflection in his voice."
Bully Ray further questioned whether everything The Rated-R Superstar said on Dynamite came from the latter's heart.
"Did you buy into what Adam Copeland was saying? Do you think Adam Copeland was speaking from the heart tonight? Or do you think Adam Copeland was given marching orders and told go out there and cut me a passionate promo about the state of the company?" [2:41 - 3:26]
