AEW recently released its updated poster ahead of All In, which is in less than two months. Fans noticed that Adam Copeland was replaced, an indication that he won't be at the pay-per-view.

At Double or Nothing last month, the Rated-R Superstar successfully defended his TNT Championship against Malakai Black, but he did not leave in one piece. He sustained a serious leg injury during the match after his dive from the steel cage. This required surgery, which meant that his recovery period would take much longer, and this meant that he was set to miss All In this year.

Last week, AEW updated its poster for All In this year. Some changes saw Adam Copeland and Julia Hart removed while the likes of Jack Perry, MJF, and Mariah May were added. The Scapegoat is the new TNT Champion, succeeding Copeland, while Mariah May has a chance to headline All In as she is in the semifinals of the Owen Hart Cup now.

Fans expressed disappointment at Adam Copeland's removal from the poster. One felt this was disrespectful to the legend, who was out due to injury. Others were just disappointed they won't be able to see him at All In this year.

"Kind of disrespectful to Cope" a fan claimed.
"Im sad edge gon miss all in" another commented.

Some fans talked about some other AEW stars. One brought up how it would be interesting to see how Jack Perry would be received by the British crowd, seeing as the last time he was there, he was involved in an incident backstage.

Others hoped to see Jamie Hayter and Adam Cole at the show. At this point, there is no confirmation of their status for the event, as they are dealing with respective injuries. One fan hoped for Bryan Danielson to make it injury-free, as it seems he is on the road to redemption and wants to close his career on a high note.

"Looking forward to the UK's reaction to Perry." another mentioned.
"We need Jamie Hayter and Adam Cole" one fan said.
"Please god let Bryan make it unscathed" one hoped.

Adam Copeland recalled a milestone in his career

Adam Copeland reminisced about a major milestone in his career, this being his debut.

On Instagram, he posted ahead of Canada Day being celebrated, and he mentioned how, apart from this momentous day being important, his debut in wrestling also happened on this day.

"Happy Canada Day. This day holds special significance for me, because I’m very proud to be Canadian, and it marks the anniversary of my first wrestling match. 32 years ago. Helluva ride," he wrote.

The Rated-R Superstar has become one of the most iconic wrestlers in history, best known for his time in WWE. To this day, he continues to create incredible moments and showcase what he can do in front of his faithful fans.

For now, Adam Copeland is in his recovery phase, and we can't wait to see what will be in store once he returns.
