Triple H feels the time was right for both parties in regards to Adam Copeland joining AEW.
Following months of speculation, The Rated R Superstar joined AEW at the WrestleDream pay-per-view. Being a part of WWE for over 25 years, the man known as Edge certainly left an impact on his old home.
Triple H was asked about the departure of the Hall of Famer at the post-show press conference at WWE Fastlane. Triple H stated how happy he was with the next step of Copeland’s wrestling career:
“Time. Time was right for him. Time was right for us. I think he had an amazing career and an amazing send off here. I think he felt like he had done what there was to do. We sort of felt, (I think he’s right). We wish him the best. There is no animosity here, there are no hard feelings. He’s doing what’s right for him and his family. I’m happy for him, very happy for him. I sent him a message, ‘I’m happy for you.’ I’m proud of him and happy for him. This has to be right for you. This is a grind, a lot of hard work, it has to be right for you. If somebody feels like a different opportunity is better for them, great, that’s wonderful. The machine doesn’t stop for anyone. We’re going to continue to grow and continue to do what we do. I guarantee you, if you’re a young person here trying and growing every day, for no negative reason, but when they see him walk away, they go, ‘Damn right I’m taking that spot.’ That creates opportunity. Everybody will step up their game to fill that role and there are a line of people way more than capable of taking it to the next level, just like he was when he came in here,”
Triple H will be appearing live on the October 13th episode of SmackDown.
