Adam Copeland’s Retirement Plans Altered
Adam Copeland, known for his wrestling career, has recently disclosed that his retirement is not as imminent as previously anticipated. Initially, in April 2024, the former AEW TNT Champion had hinted at wrapping up his time in the ring within the following 18 months, suggesting a retirement timeline around October 2025. However, due to a fractured tibia sidelining him for a significant portion of 2024, Copeland has adjusted his plans. In a recent interview on “First Up with Korolnek & Colaiacovo,” he mentioned that he now aims to step away from wrestling at the conclusion of his current AEW contract, which would coincide with him turning 53.
Reflecting on the physical toll wrestling takes on his body, Copeland highlighted the challenges of maintaining the demanding schedule he once had. He emphasized the prolonged recovery periods he now requires after matches, making it clear that the rigorous nature of the sport has taken its toll. With a candid tone, he shared his realization that at 51 years old, he envisions retiring by the age of 53, allowing him to exit the ring while he still can “limp away” with dignity. Copeland’s tenure with AEW began in October 2023 at the inaugural WrestleDream event, making October 2026 a significant milestone in his wrestling journey.
