Major developments on Adam Copeland's AEW future - Reports

A huge update recently emerged on Adam Copeland's AEW return. He has been on a hiatus due to a major injury, working on different filming projects.

The Rated R-Superstar made his shocking debut at last year's WrestleDream pay-per-view. He then proved to be one of the promotion's biggest workhorses by wrestling once every couple of weeks despite being 51. His feud with Christian Cage for the TNT Championship is one of the highlights of his run as he went to capture the title from him.

Adam had a great reign as a champion, but the happiness didn't last long. At the Double or Nothing pay-per-view, he fractured his tibia in an attempt to dive on Malakai Black from the top of a steel cage. He has been out for almost six months. He also had to relinquish the TNT Championship a couple of days after the injury.

According to PWInsider, the Ultimate Opportunist has been medically cleared to wrestle, but the star will not return until he finishes filming Disney's Percy Jackson. The project is seemingly going to wrap up in January 2025.
