Copeland says everyone understands the real story behind his character..
The reigning and two-time AEW TNT Champion Adam Copeland is closing in on one full month as champion. Thus far, he’s had two defenses of the belt against the likes of Matt Cardona and Penta El Zero Miedo.
Copeland was interviewed by Mo Amir of VANCOLOUR and they took a look back at his heel run from his time in WWE. Present day, Copeland is not sure if he’d be able to be a heel. He joked that he tried and it failed miserably.
It’s always fun to play a character where your job is to fall flat on your face and to have no redeeming qualities and that’s easy. It’s easy to get people to not like you. Especially in today’s climate, it’s hard to get an audience on your side. I think the only reason I’ve been able to up until this point is because everyone understands the real story of Adam behind the character and the battle to get this thing back after being forced to retire. So I think now, as much as it’d be nice to try and be heel, I tried it once and it failed pretty miserably (he laughed). So, I don’t know if it would work anymore. But, it was fun while it lasted for sure.
Copeland is scheduled to be in action on the next episode of Dynamite. He’ll be teaming with Willow Nightingale to take on Brody King and TBS Champion Julia Hart.
At the Dynasty pay-per-view that week, Copeland, Eddie Kingston and ROH World Champion Mark Briscoe are set to face House of Black (Malakai Black, Brody King & Buddy Matthews).
