AEW star Adam Copeland took part in a digital exclusive interview with the company immediately after Collision this past Saturday night and it was during the interview, where The Rated R Superstar talked about a number of topics including why he started his Cope Open Challenge and his match with Minoru Suzuki on tomorrow’s episode of Dynamite.
Copeland said, โI started this Cope Open for a few reasons. One, to prove to Christian Cage what Iโve always told him, which is that Iโm just better and Iโm better because I work harder. I have more work ethic. I wanted to see who would step up, who would step up to the challenge, who wanted it? Who would come face to face with me in it so far? Griff Garrison. Lee Moriarty. Dante Martin. Now someone who has stepped up. I wouldnโt have expected. You asked any wrestling fan five years ago if they would have ever expected that theyโd see this match. Thatโs gonna happen. Wednesday. Savannah. Dynamite. Minoru Suzuki versus the Rated R Superstar. Man. I get goosebumps just thinking about it. We are gonna beat the hell out of each other. Two grisly gnarled evil bastards beating each other up and I canโt wait. Suzuki, I know what youโre gonna bring. I hope you know what Iโm gonna bring. Iโm gonna sum this match up in three words for all of you, Grit. Your. Teeth.โ
