The Elite’s Kenny Omega, who joined Jericho during the AEW WrestleDream post-show media scrum, also provided his thoughts on Copeland joining AEW. Omega has never faced Copeland, and a dream match between the pair could now happen in Tony Khan’s promotion.

“As someone who grew up watching Edge on different programming, it’s really cool to see someone come into our locker room with such a positive [attitude] — his demeanor was incredible backstage,” Omega said. “For us, as younger guys, who maybe haven’t had experience over in WWE, to meet him for the first time and see that someone who is here very much motivated, willing to contribute, and put their best foot forward, and to probably do something that he has not done yet in his career. He’s stepping out of his comfort zone. He’s willing to do things he’s never done before, and he’s willing to do it with us.”

The former AEW World Champion said that, above all, Copeland’s debut in AEW is exciting for the fans because they’re now going to be able to see a lot of fresh matches, feuds, and angles involving the WWE Hall of Famer moving forward. Omega noted that it was also an exciting time for the locker room, but the part that makes him the most happy is that Copeland’s arrival is thrilling for the fans.
