Adam Copeland on Beth Phoenix Voiced Opening of His AEW Theme, Excited for New Matchups, Final WWE Match, & Fan Reactions

As noted before, Adam Copeland, former Edge in WWE, made his official debut for AEW at this past Sunday’s WrestleDream event in Seattle, Washington.

In a recent interview with Bleacher Report’s Chris Mueller, Copeland stated that his wife and former WWE wrestler Beth Phoenix voiced the “You think you know him” opening line for his “Metalingus” theme song in AEW. Copeland also stated that Phoenix and himself were the ones who recorded the clip for the new version of his entrance theme.

I don't know if this counts as breaking news or whatever, but I was able to confirm with him today that not only is the voice at the beginning of Adam Copeland's AEW entrance music that of Beth Phoenix, but that it was Edge and Beth who recorded the clip themselves.

In a recent separate interview with Sports Illustrated, Copeland gave his thoughts about the potential of a future match against Kazuchika Okada and other new new matchups he is interested in the most for his current AEW career.

“I’ve never wrestled at Wrestle Kingdom. I’ve never wrestled at Tokyo Dome. How about a match against Kazuchika Okada? That would be pretty cool. I’m pretty excited by that. How about Jon Moxley? Hell yeah. A singles match in AEW against Bryan Danielson? Miro? Claudio Castagnoli? Kenny Omega? Will Ospreay? Adam Page? Chris Jericho? Malakai Black? FTR in a tag? Teaming with Darby against the Young Bucks? Facing Darby? Facing Sting? A promo battle with Eddie Kingston? The possibilities, they’re keeping me awake at night. These new matchups are all super exciting. It all starts next week against Luchasaurus.

The realization fully hit when I was staring at Sting in the ring. I know WWE like the back of my hand. I know Edge. I don’t know AEW. It’s new to me. That is very exciting for me. It’s like starting from scratch, but with a lot more experience.”

In the same interview, Copeland also gave his thoughts about his final match in WWE against Sheamus and how close he was to considering retirement from wrestling.

“Halfway through the match with Sheamus in Toronto, I was thinking, ‘This is probably my last WWE match. I also started thinking, right then, ‘There is a great chance I retire after this.

The WWE gave me that night, and I’ll hold it with me until I die. I was having so much fun. That was the perfect ending.”

In response to a recent video of a fan sobbing in happiness over Copeland’s surprise debut appearance in AEW and the negative online reaction by some over it, Copeland stated on Twitter that he does not want his fans to ever need to apologize for being deeply moved by something in wrestling.

Well now I know you exist and thank you for showing emotion. Never apologize for being moved by something. Whatever that is. You rock. Thanks for comin on the ride with me.
