Adam Copeland changes ring name to ‘Cope’ at AEW Dynamite Fight for the Fallen

It’s just “Cope” now.

Adam Copeland shortened his ring name to Cope on Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite Fight for the Fallen episode in Asheville, North Carolina, a moniker that the star has used in his social media handles since leaving WWE.

Ring announcer Justin Roberts and AEW commentators referred to Copeland by his new name, and the chyron used during his entrance also reflected the change.

Cope, Dax Harwood, and Cash Wheeler as Rated FTR defeated Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, and Wheeler Yuta of The Death Riders in Wednesday’s Dynamite main event after Jay White interfered to help.

Rated FTR will be back in action on Saturday’s AEW Collision against Chris Jericho, Big Bill, and Bryan Keith of The Learning Tree.

Saturday’s Collision will also be the first episode simulcast on the Max streaming service.

The lineup for Saturday’s Collision can be found here.
