Several top AEW stars currently remain sidelined, including Kenny Omega, Bryan Danielson, and Adam Copeland.Danielson last competed at AEW WrestleDream and lost to Jon Moxley, marking the end of his full-time wrestling career. Currently recovering from his injuries, his return timeline remains uncertain.
Meanwhile, Kenny Omega is gearing up for his in-ring comeback after a year. He will face NJPW star Gabe Kidd at Wrestle Dynasty. AEW recently teased Omega’s return on Dynamite, and reports suggest he could return on AEW TV this weekend at AEW Worlds End.
Former TNT Champion Adam Copeland has been out of action for six months following a tibia injury he suffered during a Barbed Wire Steel Cage match against Malakai Black at Double or Nothing. While Copeland won the match, an elbow drop from the top of the cage caused a severe injury that required surgery.
Sources recently confirmed that Copeland has been cleared for physical activity. However, he likely won’t return to AEW until filming for the second season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians concludes. New updates suggest fans can expect Copeland to return as early as January.
Adam Copeland set for AEW return in early January
According to the latest reports from Fightful Select behind paywall, Adam Copeland is set to make his return to AEW TV soon. The report indicates that the January 1 Fight for the Fallen edition of AEW Dynamite will mark Copeland’s return. This show will also serve as AEW’s debut on HBO Max and will take place in Asheville, North Carolina, where Copeland lives.
Copeland’s return on AEW’s HBO Max debut could help boost viewership for the show. Speculation has also emerged regarding FTR’s recent comments about their own return in January, where they hinted at bringing someone with them.
Many believe the mystery individual accompanying FTR could be none other than Copeland. FTR’s revenge is against Jon Moxley’s Death Riders faction, who previously sidelined them. Hence, Copeland might join forces with FTR in their battle against the dominant faction.
