Adam Copeland says his win on the March 20 episode of AEW Dynamite was the kind of night you dream of.
On the March 20 episode of AEW Dynamite, which was held in Toronto, Adam Copeland defeated Christian Cage to win the TNT Championship. The bout marked their third high-profile clash in AEW, and it marked the culmination of their rivalry.
In a tweet, AEW shared a video in which Adam Copeland discussed his victory.
“Tonight was the kind of night that you dream of,” he said. “When you first get into this, when you decide to dedicate your life to this, you dream of nights like this. Your hometown, against a man that you’ve known for forty years, who in my opinion has lost his way, and to get to get that kind of match, that war, it wasn’t even a match, here, to hear that audience, to hear them sing my music to me, to have my family here, to have my buddies from grade school, my buddies from college, it’s one of those nights that I’ll take with me to the grave.
“To walk away with the TNT Championship, finally, I know I had it before for about thirty seconds, so to me, this feels like the first time I’ve properly won a championship since 2011. Man, that’s a long drought. Tonight, it felt like that chapter’s closed.”
Adam Copeland Issues Open Challenge
Adam Copeland then stated that it was time to move on. He noted that he wanted to face fresh opponents, and he issued an open challenge for the March 30 episode of AEW Collision.
“The book, a 40-year book, that 40-year story, it’s closed. It’s time to move on,” Adam Copeland said. “It’s time for me to face some different faces, it’s time for me to defend this TNT Championship. I want to be the type of champion who, if you think you deserve a shot, fine, step up. Right now, I’m sore, I’m a bloody mess.
“I got the TNT Championship. So I’ll tell you what, Collision, London [Ontario], the Cope Open’s back. So anybody who wants to step up, feel free. There’s more at stake now, too. There’s this TNT Championship, and I don’t plan on losing it any time soon. So I wish you luck.”
WrestleZone will have coverage of AEW Collision as it airs on March 30.
