By AEW president Tony Khan has admitted he doesn’t know how far into 2027 Adam Copeland will keep wrestling, following the veteran’s shock announcement that next year will be his last in professional wrestling. The revelation came on Thursday’s AEW WrestleDream media call, just days after Copeland broke the news to fans.

Dynamite’s Bombshell
On this week’s episode of AEW Dynamite, Copeland stunned the wrestling world by declaring that 2027 will be his final year in the business. The 52-year-old, who competed as Edge during his legendary WWE run before joining AEW, has been one of the company’s biggest signings and a major attraction ever since his arrival.
The announcement immediately sent fans into a frenzy, with speculation running wild about how the Rated-R Superstar’s farewell tour might unfold — which opponents he’ll face, and whether AEW will build its biggest 2027 plans around his retirement.
Khan Was Told Ahead of Time
Speaking on Thursday’s media call, Khan confirmed that Copeland personally informed him of the decision before making it public, and that he fully accepted the veteran’s call. But when pressed on the details, Khan was honest about how much remains undecided.
“I don’t know how far Copeland wants to wrestle in 2027,” Khan said, making it clear that even AEW’s top boss is in the dark about how long the farewell will last — whether it’s a full-year run or something shorter. For now, all that is certain is that 2027 marks the end of the road for one of wrestling’s all-time greats.
