Adam “Cope” Copeland Officially Embraces New Ring Name in AEW
Adam Copeland, formerly known as Edge in WWE, made his long-anticipated name change official on Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite: Fight for the Fallen. The charismatic star shortened his ring name to simply “Cope,” a title he has been using on social media since leaving WWE.
AEW commentators, ring announcer Justin Roberts, and the on-screen chyron all acknowledged the change, officially ushering in a new era for Copeland in All Elite Wrestling.
