Rated-R Superstar expected to return in July after brutal beatdown by FTR at Dynasty
Summary
– Adam Copeland remains off AEW TV after FTR’s post-match assault at Dynasty
– Recently attended a Toronto Maple Leafs game with Trish Stratus
– Copeland’s return is expected in July, with revenge on FTR likely brewing
Adam Copeland may be off AEW television, but he’s still making headlines. The former World Champion was recently spotted with WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus. The two attended a Toronto Maple Leafs playoff game, drawing attention from wrestling fans and hockey faithful alike.
The outing comes weeks after FTR viciously attacked Copeland at the AEW Dynasty pay-per-view. Following their loss to the Death Riders, the tag team snapped and took out Copeland in a calculated ambush. The assault was reportedly used to write Copeland off the TV while he took time to recover and reset.
While AEW hasn’t offered an on-screen update, Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer noted that Copeland isn’t expected back until July. That means he’ll miss the upcoming AEW pay-per-view, but his absence may be part of a larger long-term plan.
Copeland’s appearance at the Leafs game alongside Trish Stratus has fans buzzing. Stratus shared the photo with the caption, “When in Toronto… #game2,” tagging both the team and Copeland, further fueling nostalgia for longtime WWE fans.
With AEW’s All In: Texas on the horizon and a looming storyline with FTR, Copeland’s return promises to be explosive. Until then, he’s enjoying some downtime in his hometown with familiar faces—and likely plotting his next move.
