Adam Copeland Provides Another Update on Leg Injury – Adam Copeland recently provided an update on his recovery from a broken tibia, an injury he sustained during a match with Malakai Black at AEW Double or Nothing 2024. Copeland, 50, fractured his tibia after leaping off the top of the cage in May. In an interview with The Takedown, he shared that his recovery is progressing well, though it’s been a tough road.
Copeland noted that he underwent surgery on June 1, and while he’s making progress, there’s still work to be done. “It’s trying to get the power back and flexibility from bringing your toes to your knee,” he explained, referencing the challenges he’s facing due to the plate placed near his ankle to stabilize the lower tibia fracture. While he’s started walking and engaging in light ring work, Copeland emphasized that he still feels some limitations.
“It feels really good. I got the surgery. I guess it was June 1, by the time I finally got the surgery done. So I guess yesterday was three months. I’ve never broken my leg before, so I didn’t know what that entails … it was a lot of grinding of teeth … It’s trying to get the power back and flexibility from bringing your toes to your knee. That’s the last area that doesn’t want to go yet, because the plate goes down to the ankle because it was a lower fracture. It was a lower tibia fracture, so the plate butts up against that ankle bone. I think that’ll be what I need to get through in order to be able to get all of that power back.”
Copeland wasn’t able to offer a definitive timetable for a return, but he mentioned that he’s walking, and has started some light ring work. Though there’s no set timetable for his return, Copeland remains optimistic about his recovery. “I know I still have some work to do to return to where I need to be,” he said, indicating he’s on the road back to in-ring action.
