- 1:27 AMCageside Seats — Adam Copeland might be retiring as a heel after saying the AEW locker room isn’t for him
"Tonight’s (Nov. 11) episode of Dynamite kicked off with AEW airing a Blood & Guts post-match video where Will Ospreay confronted Adam Copeland over his decision to surrender in that bout. The AEW world champion took too long to get to the point, so angry old man Cope told him to shut up and listen for once in his life. You see, Copeland was forced to retire from pro wrestling for nine years due to the decisions he made in the ring. He doesn’t wasn’t the same thing to happen to Ospreay, who already has a double fused neck. Likewise, he surrendered out of concern for the well-being of his other Blood & Guts teammates Steven Borden and the Young Bucks, who have or had their own notable injury issues to deal with. With all of that in mind, if they can’t understand why Copeland quit Blood & Guts, then “maybe this isn’t the place for me.” THE AFTERMATH OF WAR! They vowed never to submit or surrender, but @RatedRCope wants @WillOspreay to understand the bigger picture following BLOOD & GUTS!
