AEW President Tony Khan recently clarified the situation surrounding John Cena and Adam Copeland’s contract.
One of John Cena’s greatest career rivals has always been Adam Copeland (Edge). Although Copeland is currently signed with AEW, many fans speculated that he could somehow take part in Cena’s 2026 retirement tour.
During an appearance on today’s edition of “The Ariel Helwani Show,” AEW President Tony Khan was asked about whether WWE had ever reached out to him about Copeland being involved in Cena’s farewell run. He said,
“No. Adam is going to be with us through the end of the year. He is a huge part of AEW and I have so much respect for him and I really like Adam a lot. I’m glad to have him here. He’s away filming, but he’s with us and he’s going to stay with us.”
