Adam Copeland Reacts To Wrestling Fans Calling Him A Traitor For Joining AEW

The wrestling landscape has changed drastically since AEW first launched in 2019 as professional wrestlers now have more options when it comes to where they can work. Adam Copeland finished up with WWE back in August and he shocked the world when he made his All Elite Wrestling debut at the WrestleDream pay-per-view.

Copeland was with WWE for the vast majority of his career, but some fans apparently aren’t happy about him making the jump to AEW. During a recent interview with Adrian Hernandez, Copeland reacted to people calling him a traitor while explaining that he’s still on great terms with WWE.

“You know, it’s interesting. Just in terms of, I guess, how people have like almost a brand allegiance or a team allegiance kind of thing. For me, I knew there was gonna be some fan base in switching companies that [said], ‘Oh, he’s a traitor.’ But, man, nobody’s a traitor. We left on great terms. And for me, here’s how I Iook at it. Paul Newman did movies for Paramount. He also did movies for MGM. Did you not watch them because they were MGM, and you have this really, really, like, strong opinion about Paramount films? Like, that’s what we’re talking about here, right?”
