Adam Copeland Previews His Match With Minoru Suzuki On 1/24 AEW Dynamite: Grit. Your. Teeth.
Adam Copeland has a lot to say ahead of his upcoming dream match with Minoru Suzuki.
When Adam Copeland defeated Dante Martin on the January 20 episode of AEW Saturday Collision, he remarked that so far no veterans had stepped up to face him in the Cope Open series of open challenge matches he’s been participating in.
That all changes when Copeland steps into the squared circle with Minoru Suzuki on the January 24 episode of AEW Dynamite in the first of these open challenges to take place on Dynamite.
Previewing the match in a digital exclusive following Collision, Copeland remarked on the sheer incredible nature of this match even taking place and said that he expects it to be a hard-hitting affair.
“I started this Cope Open for a few reasons. One, to prove to Christian Cage what I’ve always told him, which is that I’m just better and I’m better because I work harder. I have more work ethic. I wanted to see who would step up, who would step up to the challenge, who wanted it? Who would come face to face with me in it so far? Griff Garrison. Lee Moriarty. Dante Martin. Now someone who has stepped up. I wouldn’t have expected. You asked any wrestling fan five years ago if they would have ever expected that they’d see this match. That’s gonna happen. Wednesday. Savannah. Dynamite. Minoru Suzuki versus the Rated R Superstar. Man. I get goosebumps just thinking about it. We are gonna beat the hell out of each other. Two grisly gnarled evil bastards beating each other up and I can’t wait. Suzuki, I know what you’re gonna bring. I hope you know what I’m gonna bring. I’m gonna sum this match up in three words for all of you, Grit. Your. Teeth.”
