Adam 'Cope' Copeland Says He Found The Death Riders Storyline Confusing At First

Adam ‘Cope’ Copeland is set to take on Jon Moxley for the AEW World Championship at the Revolution 2025 PPV on March 9, and in the build up to the show he has taken out The Death Riders one by one to even the odds against the champion. 

The Death Riders storyline has received plenty of criticism from those online in recent months, largely due to some plot holes and a lack of direction. It seems as though Cope shared some of that sentiment, admitting in an interview with Jon Alba of Sports Illustrated that he was confused at first. 

“Anything I’m involved in, I try to at least add some layers to it. And when putting the things together, going, ‘Okay, here’s the package for the match.’ You got to build in beats for that package to sum everything up, so if you watch that two minutes right before the match, you’re caught up. You got it, and know, ‘Alright, and now I’m looking forward to this thing.’ I think more than anything, that’s my mentality, is just trying to craft something or be a part of helping craft something where you get those beats, those tentpoles throughout that you can just insert in a package and get everybody caught up, before, you know, they watch the actual match. But still, that to me is what hooks me.”
