Adam Copeland made his in-ring return during Wednesday night’s AEW Dynamite: Fight For The Fallen special and he has a new ring name in the form of “The Rated R Superstar Cope.”
In a six-man tag team match that headlined the show, Cope teamed with FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler) to defeat The Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, & Claudio Castagnoli).
The finish of the match came when Cope hit Wheeler Yuta with a spear after FTR hit their signature Shatter Machine.
The graphics and announcers for the match referred to Adam Copeland as “The Rated R Superstar Cope,” which appears to be his new ring name moving forward.
Cope hasn't lost a step, but the Death Riders aren't letting him get started in our Main Event!

Also on this week’s AEW Dynamite: Fight For The Fallen special, Ricochet interfered in a triple threat match featuring Swerve Strickland, Roderick Strong, and Jay White.
Following the match, Ricochet stabbed Swerve Strickland with a pair of scissors and punched him in the head.
Ricochet then proceeded to sit a bloody Strickland on a chair and hit the Spirit Gun.
RICOCHET, WHY?!
