At the AEW Double or Nothing pay-per-view, The Rated ‘R’ Superstar Adam Copeland defended his TNT Championship against Malakai Black inside a steel cage. Copeland managed to retain his title. Unfortunately, during the match, the WWE Hall of Famer suffered a severe injury which led to him relinquishing his championship.
Recently, while speaking to Freddie Prinze Jr.’s Wrestling with Freddie podcast, Adam Copeland mentioned that his leg is still not ready and he might be out of action for a minimum of six months.
“Only what I know is that it’s not [ready] for weight bearing for eight to ten weeks, which is by far the most frustrating part. This is the same leg I tore my Achilles on, so I kinda know what it is and it’s just a whole lot of doing nothing. Once I get walking again, that’s when I can have a better gauge of, oh this is going to be a six month or eight month.
“I guess it was just a bad area, you never want to break your leg, but it was just above the ankle joint, which I guess is called a pilon fracture. There’s more that comes into it in terms of the healing process with the tissue, with the blood flow — and I’m 50, so I have to be a realist and understand that my body is gonna play some limitations on myself that weren’t there before. Hence, why I got hurt. I truly think when I was 30, I could have pulled it off,” Adam Copeland said. [H/T Fightful.com]
We at Wrestlezone are wishing Adam Copeland a speedy recovery.
Should Copeland renew his feud with the House of Black when he returns?
