Last year Adam Copeland finished up with WWE and he went on to make his debut with All Elite Wrestling at the WrestleDream pay-per-view. In the months that followed Copeland was regularly featured on AEW programming and he managed to win the TNT Championship twice.
Back in May, Adam Copeland defended the TNT Championship against Malakai Black inside of a steel cage and at one point he jumped off the top of the cage and delivered an elbow drop to Malakai Black who was positioned on a table below. Unfortunately for Adam he broke his leg when he landed.
Recently the WWE Hall of Famer shared an update on his recovery while speaking with The Takedown on SI and he stated that he still doesn’t have a timeframe for a potential in-ring return.
“It feels really good. I got the surgery. I guess it was June 1, by the time I finally got the surgery done. So I guess yesterday was three months. I’ve never broken my leg before, so I didn’t know what that entails or what that entailed. With my Achilles, it was a process. This is not that which is good, because the Achilles, I was working eight hours a day on that thing. It became a full-time job and I got back in six months. But it was a lot of grinding of teeth. This isn’t that more than anything.
It’s trying to get the power back and flexibility from bringing your toes to your knee. That’s the last area that doesn’t want to go yet because the plate goes down to the ankle because it was a lower fracture. It was a lower tibia fracture, so the plate butts up against that ankle bone. I think that’ll be what I need to get through in order to be able to get all of that power back. I don’t know what a timeframe is. I don’t know any of that. I know that now I can walk, get in the ring, and move around a little bit, but I still feel the deficiency. So, I know I still have some work to do to return to where I need to be.”
