Aleister Black Praises Adam Copeland and Their Feud in AEW

– During a recent interview with the Wrestling the Rap Game Podcast, newly returned WWE Superstar Aleister Black spoke on his feud with WWE Hall of Famer Adam Copeland (aka Cope) in AEW. Black said it was one of his favorite things he’s ever done in wrestling. Below are some highlights (via Fightful):

Aleister Black on his feud with Cope: “The feud with Adam Copeland is by far one of my favorite things that I’ve done in wrestling. It’s in my top five. Him and me, we kind of meshed that whole feud together and he went to Tony and talked about it. We got a lot of the stuff we wanted to do, we got that in. I’ve always wanted to work with him. He’s one of those people I talk to very frequently to kind of relay stuff to. ‘Hey, what do you think of this,’ and he’ll give me his feedback. I’ve always done that when it comes to promos, character ideas, match ideas, I bounce off of him. When we finally got to work together, it was everything I wanted it to be.”

His thoughts on their cage amtch: “The cage match was definitely one of my favorite matches in AEW. He was very giving and we had such a blast in there. I remember, I lost so much blood in that match. They calculated that I lost about a pint and a half, that’s what they think, because I bled for so long and so profusely. It was pouring out. It added so much because you don’t see me bleed that often. That cage match had to be violent and we absolutely added a level of violence in there, that was slow and methodical, but also precise and quick at times. The swerves in there. That whole feud was one of my absolute favorite things. I’m glad I got to do it.”

Aleister Black on Adam Copeland finishing the match with a broken leg: “He’s a trooper. He’s a beast.”

Aleister Black made his WWE return last week on Friday Night SmackDown, knocking out The Miz. His in-ring return is set for this week’s SmackDown, as he goes one-on-one with the former WWE Champion.
