Wrestling veteran Jim Cornette declared that a major AEW star should have retired after his time in the WWE. Cornette also claimed that the star has damaged his reputation in Tony Khan's promotion.
Jim Cornette believes that current AEW star, Cope (fka Edge), should have retired after his time in WWE. After over 25 years of his Hall of Fame career in the Stamford-based promotion, the Rated "R" Superstar made his shocking move to All Elite Wrestling in 2023 and has been a top star in the company ever since.
Last Wednesday on Dynamite, Cope challenged Jon Moxley for the AEW World Title in a street fight after failing to win the title at Revolution 2025. The match on Dynamite was brutal and chaotic, but it also faced criticism for being too violent and due to the finish as well. Wrestling veteran Jim Cornette even questioned Cope's All Elite run.
