Adam Copeland Reveals Tibia Fracture and Surgery Requirement – There was significant concern for AEW TNT Champion Adam Copeland and Malakai Black following their brutal Barbed Wire Steel Cage Match at the AEW Double Or Nothing pay-per-view event, held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Sunday night.

The match was intensely violent, featuring chairs, tables, barbed wire, and other weapons. During the bout, Copeland executed an elbow drop from the top of the cage, landing awkwardly on his legs as he crashed onto Black, who was positioned on a table. This led to immediate speculation about Copeland’s status after the match.

Copeland addressed his condition on social media, revealing that he has fractured his tibia and will require surgery. He praised Malakai Black for his tenacity, humorously noting his new “friends”—a pair of crutches:

“I guess the house always does win because I gained two new friends [showed crutches]. I don’t really like them. They’re like those buddies that just annoy you, but they’re always there….anyway, I’ve been feeling really good lately. Been having so much fun in the ring, and I got cocky, I guess, is what it really boils down to, and I’m probably a narcissist and an ego-maniac, and I’ll unpack that one day. My brain forgets what my body always seems to remember a little late is that I’m 50, and I need to make better choices. So my body pulled the emergency brake on me the other night, and I ended up fracturing my tibia, which is going to require surgery. Don’t know the time frame on that yet. Ruby’s birthday is on Friday so I really want to enjoy that.”

He mentioned that they will have a better timeframe for the surgery next week. We wish him a speedy recovery and look forward to updates on his condition.
