On the latest episode of AEW Collision, Adam Copeland (fka Edge) made his first appearance since the 2023 Worlds End pay-per-view.

On December 30, 2023, Copeland shockingly lost the TNT Championship to Christian Cage moments after winning it. During this week's edition of Collision, The Rated-R Superstar addressed the situation after The Patriarch claimed that his rival must move to the back of the line after his loss.

Adam Copeland claimed he deserved a rematch because he won the title. He mentioned that he would earn his shot again and wanted to begin his championship pursuit by picking a fight with anyone in the locker room. Griff Garrison, accompanied by former WWE Diva Maria Kanellis, eventually accepted The Rated-R Superstar's challenge.

Garrison got into Copeland's face as he wanted to face the latter inside the ring. The WWE Hall of Famer obliged but admitted that he was a fan of the young star and couldn't be mad at him. The upstart then slapped the Hall of Famer, heating the situation before the match started.

Growing up, Enzo admired former world champions like AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, Bryan Danielson, Triple H, and Randy Orton for their finishing moves. As an adult, he started to appreciate their character work, as they juggled between heel and babyface gimmicks.

If allowed to produce one final storyline involving his idols, he would have Orton lock horns with John Cena, would be their one last big feud as both of them seem to be approaching the tail end of their careers.
