Note On Why Adam Copeland Decided To Shorten His Ring Name

As previously reported, Adam Copeland shortend his ring name to just ‘Cope’ on last Wednesday’s episode of AEW Dynamite. In the latest episode of Wrestling Observer Radio (via Wrestling Inc), Dave Meltzer reported that it was Copeland’s decision for the change, not AEW or Tony Khan’s.

He said: “I have no idea why. I think that because his whole career he was Edge, so he just figures that he should be Cope. Whatever, it’s his call, I mean it doesn’t make — it doesn’t make a difference, he’s Adam Copeland. The idea absolutely is to just call him Cope, yes. It’s his call, I don’t think it changes the world or anything. I wouldn’t have done it … you’d have to ask him why, you know what I mean? I said I wouldn’t have done it, but it’s not like anything where I go like ‘oh, stupid idea,’ it’s just something.“
