AEW star Adam Copeland reflects on opportunity to compete at iconic Mexican venue

It’s hard to believe someone as legendary as Adam Copeland has never competed in an iconic venue like Arena México, but on Wednesday night he will get his first opportunity.

Copeland will be a part of an eight-man tag team match at All Elite Wrestling’s (AEW) Grand Slam: Mexico event on Wednesday night. Copeland and his tag team partner Christian Cage (AEW’s tag team champions) will team with Matt and Nick Jackson to take on Jon Moxley, Daniel Garcia, Pac and Wheeler Yuta.

Copeland reflected on the chance to compete at the iconic Mexico City venue in a post on Instagram.

"Tonight I get to perform for the first time in The Wrestling Cathedral," he wrote in the post. "Arena Mexico. The last time I had a match in Mexico was 2008. Mexico we got some catching up to do! I love Lucha Libre. Everything about it. The masks, the mystique, the pageantry. Can’t wait to get out there. See ya soon Mexico, bring your voices."

Copeland previously wrote down a list of venues he wanted to perform in. Arena México was at the top of the list along with Wembley Stadium in London, Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto and the Tokyo Dome in Japan.

He will likely get to check off Wembley Stadium from his list when AEW holds its premier pay-per-view of the year, All In, at the venue later this month.

Copeland and Cage won the AEW World Tag Team Championship at Double or Nothing in a brutal I Quit match against FTR. They’ve held the titles ever since and appear to be the ones walking into Wembley Stadium as the champions if they have any formidable challengers.
