AEW star Adam Copeland reflects on opportunity to compete at iconic Mexican venue

Pro wrestling greats Adam Copeland and Christian Cage push back on criticism All Elite Wrestling has received as it's grown in recent years.

It’s hard to believe someone as legendary as Adam Copeland has never competed in an iconic venue like Arena México, but on Wednesday night he will get his first opportunity.

Copeland will be a part of an eight-man tag team match at All Elite Wrestling’s (AEW) Grand Slam: Mexico event on Wednesday night. Copeland and his tag team partner Christian Cage (AEW’s tag team champions) will team with Matt and Nick Jackson to take on Jon Moxley, Daniel Garcia, Pac and Wheeler Yuta.

Copeland reflected on the chance to compete at the iconic Mexico City venue in a post on Instagram.

"Tonight I get to perform for the first time in The Wrestling Cathedral," he wrote in the post. "Arena Mexico. The last time I had a match in Mexico was 2008. Mexico we got some catching up to do! I love Lucha Libre. Everything about it. The masks, the mystique, the pageantry. Can’t wait to get out there. See ya soon Mexico, bring your voices."
