Adam Copeland, also known as Edge, has been absent from AEW programming since the post-All Out episode of Dynamite in September.
During that episode, Copeland told tag team partner Christian Cage that he needed to “step away to find himself,” after witnessing FTR attack his wife Beth Phoenix in a shocking post-match angle.
The 52-year-old’s hiatus has sparked curiosity among fans given his return to action after nine years in retirement has hardly gone smooth health-wise.
However, according to PWInsider, Copeland is currently in London, England, filming for the movie “The Beekeeper 2”, alongside Hollywood star Jason Statham.
Copeland’s involvement in the movie is expected to keep him occupied for the majority of November.
The Beekeeper 2, an action movie featuring Statham as a retired government assassin, began filming approximately a month ago.
Recent scenes were shot in Canary Wharf, and production has since moved to Greenham Common, a former Royal Air Force station.
Notably, explosions and a “gigantic fireball” were used on set, prompting concerned residents to contact West Berkshire Council.
Cage is still around in AEW while Copeland is away, but he does not have a match scheduled for Full Gear at this time of writing.
Copeland has dabbled in TV a fair amount over the past decade with his main success coming in the TV show Vikings.
The veteran has dealt with a torn triceps during his WWE return and then a broken leg since he joined AEW. The Canadian has already stated that he believes he is wrestling his final contract.
He told Newsweek earlier this year he probably has 18 months left:
“Not much longer. The schedule is far better than what it used to be. If you asked me to try and pull off over 200 days a year that I pulled before, there is absolutely no way because the recovery takes too long now. I’ll have a match and it’ll take me a good week to finally start walking normal.
“I’ve realised now, I’m 51 years old, I figure I have until maybe 53, the end of this contract, and then it’s probably time to call it a day and get out while I can still limp away [laughs]. Lick my wounds and do a whole lot of yoga after,” Cope stated during the interview.
