Adam Copeland has admitted that his time left in the ring is extremely limited.
Copeland, who made his surprise debut at WrestleDream, is on one final run to tick off a few more dream matches before retiring for good on his own terms. As Copeland approaches the 4th anniversary of his shock comeback at the 2020 Royal Rumble, he is aware that he is over halfway into his final run.
Speaking with Sam Roberts, The Rated R Superstar admitted that he can only continue wrestling for a limited time and predicts that this dream will come to an end in around 2 years. Because of the short window, the Hall of Famer has stated that he expects to be done in around 2 years:
“I can do this for a limited time because it is all limited. Even though it’s been four or five years back now, it’s not like I got another four or five in front of me. I know I don’t. We’re looking at like a two-year window here to be able to get as much done as I can get done, tell as many stories as I can, and try and help talent along the way with that and I need to be there more and to do that and I want to be there more to do that because even still, it’s not like the schedule was back when I was riding 220 or 250 days a year.
At most, it’s two times a week and that’s very doable to still be the dad I need to be, to be the partner I need to be. I still have the time and the energy to do that because it’s not as all-consuming as it was. I don’t let it be as all-consuming as it used to be either. But by the schedule, it just becomes less all-consuming. I wanted to be able to do as much as I could while I could and that felt like the place I was going to be able to be allowed to do that. That’s when it really, I was like, that’s where I gotta go.”

In a night of highs and lows, Copeland defeated Christian Cage in a No Disqualification match to capture the TNT Championship, his first AEW title reign. However, the dream quickly ended when Killswitch gifted Cage a rematch after he won a number one contenders battle royal on the pre-show, making Cage a two-time champion.
