One AEW star wants to prove his superiority to Adam Copeland before he retires.
In October, Adam Copeland announced that he would retire in 2027. With the Rated-R Superstar’s time in the ring coming to a close, Kyle Fletcher wants to wrestle him one more time to prove he is the better man.
During an appearance on TMZ Sports, the Protostar reflected on Copeland’s retirement, admitting he has mixed emotions.
“I think he is an absolute legend in the sport, and I think that he was a part of my childhood; he was a part of so many people’s childhoods. One of the best things and the best feelings in wrestling is that nostalgia and remembering how it made you feel when you’re a kid. I think he was probably one of the first wrestlers that I watched, you know?
“So for me, it’s a lot of mixed emotions. I’m obviously very sad. I watched him retire in whatever it was, I believe 2010, and I thought that was going to be the end of it. I was watching live when he made his return, and that was very emotional too. So I’m sure watching him retire will be very emotional as well.”
Kyle Fletcher Wants To Wrestle Adam Copeland Again
Kyle Fletcher and Adam Copeland have clashed in the ring multiple times, but never one-on-one. Most recently, Fletcher forced Cope to surrender at Blood & Guts on the November 4th edition of Dynamite by threatening to stab Will Ospreay in the eye if he didn’t.
Fletcher also has a pinfall victory over Copeland, with him and Kevin Knight defeating Copeland and Will Ospreay two weeks before Blood & Guts. With those wins over the WWE Hall of Famer, Fletcher wants to prove his superiority once and for all.
“But I will say that now I have been able to get in the ring with him. I’ve pinned him, and I would very much like to get in there with him again before he retires because I would like to show the world that I am far superior to him.”
