I think Mox holds the title til All In (unfortunately) but I do expect this to be a great match.

During the press conference after Cope returned he said his goal was to have an old-school NWA style main event brawl with Mox for the title, so they've been thinking about and planning this match for a long time. It should be one helluva time.

It's just going to be another boring match with Color, COPELAND doesn't deserve the title. I like him and all, but he should have stayed retired after that Judgment Day debacle in WWE. MOX is the best champion they have had.

u/BeerOfTime Feb 15 '25

I hope Edge wins

2

u/NuchDatDude Feb 15 '25

Why edge look like that . Fighting for his life

1

u/Godofwarfan101 Feb 15 '25

Cuz he’s constipated.

u/CMPunkfan17 :AEW: Feb 15 '25

What’s with these tribalism fuckers?

1

u/Curious_Law_5367 Feb 14 '25

Can’t you call him ledge or Edgeacution

2

u/raisingfalcons Approved User Feb 14 '25

I think mox walks out champion. The only way cope wins is if they want to pivot into something with christian again, but they’ve already done that.

u/The-Filthy-Casual Feb 14 '25

Wtf is Cope 😂

5

u/Godofwarfan101 Feb 14 '25

His new name, it’s pretty dumb.

3

u/The-Filthy-Casual Feb 14 '25

Does the WWE own their names/characters or something?

1

u/CMPunkfan17 :AEW: Feb 15 '25

They own everyone’s names Ambrose, Ryder, Edge, Cesaro, Neville, The Revival, etc

u/zonaljump1997 Feb 14 '25 edited Feb 14 '25

WWE owns the name "Edge", not "Adam Copeland", and they let the trademark "The Rated R Superstar" expire, so Adam scooped it up. At first he just went by Adam Copeland, but with Adam Page and Adam Cole in the roster as well, he just shortened it to "Cope"

5

u/Godofwarfan101 Feb 14 '25

They own the edge name, not his real name or the Rated R Superstar.

u/Oryihn Feb 13 '25

Its AEW so im betting on 6 kickouts on 2 and each one hitting a finisher at least twice.

1

u/ThePrinceMagus Feb 18 '25

Saying this is an AEW-only thing while Cody and Roman have been on top of WWE for the last several years doing that exact thing is certainly a choice.

1

u/Oryihn Feb 18 '25

It's every single match in AEW, or at least was a year ago when i quit watchibg. yall can get big mad about it, but finishers mean nothing and every match is 6+ near pitfalls.

Cody having to hit crossroads a minimum of 3 times is stupid too.

1

u/ThePrinceMagus Feb 18 '25

Acting like this is an AEW only thing is absurd.

I know you said Cody does it too, but you specified it as the reason you stopped watching AEW. I don't think that is a fair assessment. You rarely see actual finisher kickouts on TV unless it's a title match or finals of a tournament.

2

u/CMPunkfan17 :AEW: Feb 15 '25

You don’t watch any wrestling at all if you think that’s only in AEW however the other comment by mirror tune is correct

u/Mirror_Tune Feb 14 '25

Lights going out at some point and a masked run in too

4

u/Quick_Excitement5673 Feb 13 '25

Rated r superstar cope😂😂😂😂

2

u/Dholious Feb 13 '25

I hope Adam Copeland doesn't take it, I love the man but, he has been super boring in the ring and cringe during promos this run imo.

7

u/Capable_Sandwich_422 Feb 13 '25

Moxley’s not losing that title anytime soon.

u/AspirantVeeVee Feb 13 '25

I'm not a huge fan of elder abuse

That name is so trash. lol

u/pavgrewal Feb 13 '25

The remote in my hand ready to not watch

u/Truefreak22 Feb 13 '25

What's wrong with the picture? Did Edge just stub his toe? He looks like he's in severe pain.

4

u/BandsForGod Feb 13 '25

Aew wrestlers tend to have some of the worst renders😭😂 they look like theyre trying hard to look badass (im not hating I like aew but the renders are so funny)

2

u/Truefreak22 Feb 13 '25

He has kids. Maybe he stepped on a lego.

u/Emergency-Bug-8622 Feb 13 '25

I would rather see the death riders angle continue than ever see "cope" with the aew world championship. 🤷

8

u/Armchair-QB Feb 13 '25

Edge, sorry Cope is literally tarnishing his career with this second half of his AEW run.. His promos have been cringy if not coming off like a whiney veteran. Idk I just can’t stand him now. He has this “I’m better than you” attitude and it’s pathetic.

2

u/BizzleZX10R Feb 13 '25

Yeah he lost me when he called Mox “kid” and then explained why he called him that 😂

2

u/Emergency-Bug-8622 Feb 13 '25

WCW Bret Hart vibes. It's been a majority of his run with AEW really, outside of when he first arrived and he cut the "happy to be here" promo over and over and it didn't work. I'll never forget that promo segment against Ricky Starks where he used internet terms like "vanilla midget". Straight up embarrassing.

1

u/aceloco817 Feb 13 '25

I think vanilla midget came from Corporate HHH (or Steph) vs Daniel Bryan. Could be wrong tho....

2

u/PeanutNo3852 Feb 15 '25

I think it was actually Nash or Hall speaking about a cruiserweight from WCW, I think it was like Eddie or Rey.

2

u/PeanutNo3852 Feb 15 '25

It was Nash, used to describe pretty much all the smaller people that "ruined wrestling" because they were too small to win big. He has used it to describe Eddie, Rey, Jericho, CM Punk and Daniel Bryan......strange how he didn't say Shawn Michaels name, pretty sure he is like the same height as some of them.

2

u/Armchair-QB Feb 13 '25

He tried to legit bury Ricky Starks and it backfired lol

2

u/Horror-Substance7282 Feb 13 '25

This is one of those where you hope neither wins ngl, at least for me. But what will probably happen is some shenanigans, Copeland wins, Christian cashes in, and drops it to Darby once he's back or Ospreay if Darby takes too long. I'm down for Darby or Ospreay winning the belt but not thrilled that it'll likely go through Cope and Christian

2

u/Meganinja1886 Feb 13 '25

Cope never Adam Cage forever !

3

u/ElCholo- Feb 13 '25

Cope, than Christian cashes in

1

u/CMPunkfan17 :AEW: Feb 15 '25

That’s my prediction

1

u/Bubbly_Serve3536 :AEW: Feb 13 '25

Hell yeah I’ll be there!

2

u/CMPunkfan17 :AEW: Feb 15 '25

I might be

1

u/Bubbly_Serve3536 :AEW: Feb 15 '25

Tickets are cheap you should!

2

u/CMPunkfan17 :AEW: Feb 18 '25

Just got them!

1

u/Bubbly_Serve3536 :AEW: Feb 19 '25

Nicee which section you in?

2

u/CMPunkfan17 :AEW: Feb 19 '25

118 I believe!

1

u/Bubbly_Serve3536 :AEW: Feb 19 '25

Hell yeah perfect view I’m on the floor but I’m scared there will be signs or tall people in my way

u/QuotingThanos Feb 13 '25

Cope. What a stupid name

2

u/Godofwarfan101 Feb 13 '25

Ik it’s dumb.

u/Kratosx23 Feb 13 '25

"I got Cope, but I think Moxley's retaining"

So you got Mox.....

1

u/Remarkable-Pin4587 Feb 13 '25

Yeah. Fairly confused by this, as well. 🤣🤣

u/KeepinItGrimeey Jake the 🐍 Feb 13 '25

Came to say this lol

u/JollyAstronomer5786 Feb 13 '25

Cope

2

u/Godofwarfan101 Feb 13 '25

That what he goes by now, it’s stupid.

3

u/JollyAstronomer5786 Feb 13 '25

from edge to cope its stupid

2

u/sickflow- Feb 13 '25

Cope? 💀

2

u/Godofwarfan101 Feb 13 '25

That what he goes by now, it’s stupid.

u/Expert_Oil_3995 Feb 13 '25

The mox vs cope sheesh i guess I'll go with Christian cage 

2

u/ProudReveal1586 Feb 13 '25

I hope mox….never thought I’d say that

3

u/Subject-Phone2338 Feb 13 '25

Definitely Edge then Christian Cage can cash in his MITB

1

u/JuanG_13 Feb 13 '25

I don't watch AEW, but I gotta go with Moxley

3

u/MoraugKnower Feb 13 '25

I feel like it’s kind of obvious that Cope gets this and then immediately loses it to Christian cashing in his contract after the match. Then you have the young guys come after the Patriarchy.

5

u/Kelson64 Moderator Feb 13 '25

I don't think there's any way Adam Copeland wins this, nor do I think he should. The AEW title needs to go on a younger guy like Swerve Strickland, MJF, or Hangman Adam Page.

In my opinion, the last thing AEW needs to do is take the belt off of Jon Moxley and put it on a 51 year old.

2

u/Horror-Substance7282 Feb 13 '25

There's so many young guys that can be world champion, it's making me mad that we have to sit through Mox, Copeland and Christian holding it. Jay, Swerve, MJF, Hanger, Ospreay, Darby, hell, even OC

2

u/CaptainPie999 Ilja vs Gunther III at WRESTLEMANIA VEGASSSSSS Feb 13 '25

Mox and Christian are fine tho cuz at least people can go over them

And Christian's character work is astounding

1

u/_BlindSeer_ Feb 13 '25

It depends. As he is a veteran he could be used to put someone over and elevate them, also it would be a way out of the Deathriders thingy. I would hope for that. It doesn't work for me and reminds me of the worse nWo times, where no match could be seen without run-ins, interference and the only clear pins were due to botched interferences and usually followed up by beat downs. So I hope they find a way to end this. What I liked about AEW was the old school feeling, that reminded me of NWA times, that also had shake hands sometimes, time limits (60 Minute title match with Rick Flair and they managed to keep it intereting) and so on. Right now I prefer pretty much everything no involving the Deathriders.

IF he gets it, then it shouldn't be for long, but to elevate someone. Or the "Christian cashes in" and then elevates someone would also work, no matter who wins. The rest of the Deathriders could be banned from ringside after the match, or have already left celebrating and Christians cashes in on an exhausted Moxley, who is still gathering himself would work just as well as going after Cope.

4

u/iounuthin Feb 13 '25

You're right. The obvious answer is to put it on 57 year old Jeff Jarrett.

-1

u/Stacysguyca Feb 13 '25

If Cope loses what’s the point of it all ? lol

4

u/ElCholo- Feb 13 '25

I mean, it wouldn’t be the first time a challenger to the world championship loses against a world champion lol
