22 Injured AEW Stars (And When They're Set To Return)
2. Adam Copeland
Adam Copeland, a 50-year-old man at the time of the incident, dove from atop a barbed wire-enclosed steel cage, landing, partially, on Malakai Black's table-strewn body.
The rest of his body weight, though, landed on Cope's tibia, shattering it immediately.
'The Rated R Superstar' underwent successful surgery shortly after the awkward landing and predicted a return to All Elite Wrestling in the autumn of 2025, giving him a full year to prepare himself for AEW's Wembley Stadium return in August 2026, a venue that he was determined to compete in before his untimely injury.
Returning: Autumn 2025.
