Adam Copeland Nears Return to AEW Following Injury and Filming Commitments

Tibia Fracture Sidelines Adam Copeland

AEW star Adam Copeland has been out of action since suffering a fractured tibia during a daring steel cage jump at Double or Nothing earlier this year. The injury required surgery, forcing Copeland to relinquish his TNT Championship and take an indefinite hiatus from wrestling.

Cleared for Physicality but Not Full-Time Return

According to a report by PWInsiderelite.com, Copeland has now been cleared for physical activity. However, his full-time return to AEW programming is on hold until he completes filming the second season of Disney+’s Percy Jackson series. The production is expected to wrap up in January 2025, aligning with his anticipated timeline for an in-ring comeback.

Speculation Around a January Return

The report also hints at the possibility of Copeland making his return at AEW’s Fight for the Fallen event on January 1, 2025. This show, set to be the first MAX simulcast in Asheville, North Carolina—where Copeland resides—presents a fitting opportunity for his comeback. While the timing seems ideal, no official confirmation has been made.

Fans eagerly await further updates as Copeland prepares to make his return to the ring.
