WWE Attitude Era Star Assists Adam Copeland To Retain TNT Championship At AEW Double Or Nothing

At AEW Double or Nothing, Adam Copeland, also known as the former Edge in WWE, engaged in a brutal Barbed Wire Cage Match against Malakai Black, ultimately emerging victorious and retaining the TNT title. However, Copeland’s triumph was not without a surprising intervention from an unexpected source linked to his past in The Brood.

Displaying a nostalgic nod to his time with The Brood, Adam Copeland not only made a dramatic entrance reminiscent of the faction’s legacy but also incorporated The Brood’s name into his video wall graphic.

During the intense match, the involvement of Buddy Matthews and Brody King, who briefly hinted at aligning with Copeland, took an unexpected turn as they turned against him, prompting a sudden and dramatic intervention.

In a stunning twist, the WWE Attitude Era star Gangrel made a surprise appearance, emerging from beneath the ring and incapacitating Brody King and Buddy Matthews by spitting a mysterious red substance into their eyes.

This unexpected turn of events allowed Copeland to capitalise, delivering a decisive Spear to Malakai Black before subjecting him to his Grindhouse move, utilising barbed wire to further intensify the hold. The relentless onslaught ultimately led to Black succumbing and Copeland successfully retaining the championship.

The gruelling nature of the match took a visible toll on Copeland, evident by his post-match condition, as he was seen limping after executing a daring dive from the top of the cage, culminating in a high-impact manoeuvre that incapacitated Black.

Did Adam Copeland Attempt To Bring Back Gangrel To WWE?

Adam Copeland spoke about how he attempted to get Gangrel back into WWE in 2020 for WrestleMania but kept getting “shut down” as WWE executives thought that nobody would remember The Brood and Gangrel.
