Today at 07:43 PM

AEW star Adam Copeland has been out of action since May. A new report provides an update on the potential timeframe for his return.

Copeland has not wrestled since AEW Double or Nothing. There, he beat Malakai Black in a Barbed Wire Steel Cage Match to retain the TNT Championship. During the match, Copeland suffered a fractured tibia, and he underwent surgery.

Mike Johnson of PWInsider reports that Adam Copeland has been cleared for physicality. However, he is not expected to be back in AEW regularly until he completes filming for the second season of Percy Jackson and Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Sources said that the show is expected to wrap in January. Copeland plays Ares in the series.

WrestleZone will provide more information as it becomes available.

Tony Khan On Adam Copeland

During the AEW Full Gear post-show scrum, Tony Khan was asked about Copeland’s potential return.

“We’ve been missing him very, very much. He was doing so great this year for us as the TNT Champion. We really missed the ‘Rated-R Superstar’ so much, and I can’t wait to hopefully get him back at some point in the near future.”

“It was really a devastating thing, but we’re very blessed to have such a great roster in AEW because everybody really stepped up. When you lose somebody so valuable to the team like Adam Copeland, it’s always going to hurt.”

“As soon as we can get him back, it’s going to make a huge positive difference to have Adam back on this team. We really missed the ‘Rated-R Superstar,’ and it was one of those really hard things that happened at the MGM Grand at Double or Nothing when we temporarily lost Adam from the roster. Whenever he gets back, we’re going to be so excited.”
