At the height of his WWE career, Adam Copeland (FKA Edge) had the perfect dance partner in John Cena. When the latter retired from professional wrestling in 2025, Copeland was a member of the AEW roster, causing the world to miss out on the two legendary rivals colliding one final time.
That didn't mean there wasn't some openness to the idea, though — at least on one side. Copeland, who's currently one-half of the AEW World Tag Team Champions with his longtime friend and fellow wrestling legend Christian Cage, revealed Tuesday on "The Ariel Helwani Show" that a Cena match was entirely possible. He fully believes AEW founder Tony Khan would have allowed the groundbreaking crossover dream match.
It all came down to WWE being willing to play ball.
"Here's what I realized: They could link [doors] to each other. One place doesn't want it to. So, OK," Copeland told Uncrowned.
"Absolutely [Khan would have allowed it]. I truly believe that. Because he knows what it would have meant to a very large segment of the wrestling fans. And that's important."
