WWE fans are upset as a wrestling legend changes his name for his return to AEW.

The man formerly known as Edge and Adam Copeland has gone through yet another name change as he continues his journey in the wrestling world. Cope, as he is now being referred to, made his debut as a wrestler in AEW Dynamite's latest episode, which also marked the show's move to MAX as WWE transitions to Netflix. Fans have been quick to express their opinions on this new name, and let's just say, they're not exactly thrilled.

Edge, or rather Adam Copeland, had previously left WWE in 2023 and joined AEW shortly after. However, due to trademark issues, he was unable to use his iconic name, which led to his recent name change. But it seems like fans are not convinced with Cope as a replacement. Many took to social media to express their disappointment, with one writing, "Adam Copeland being called Cope is just not it. It's just sounds cringe." Another fan added, "Adam Copeland going by 'Cope' is cringe."

The 51-year-old wrestler's return to the ring has been highly anticipated, especially after his injury in May of last year. He had suffered a fractured tibia during a match against Malakai Black, and fans have been eagerly waiting for his comeback. As Edge, he has held multiple world championships in WWE, and he was also the TNT Champion in AEW before his injury.

Last month, at AEW Worlds End, Cope made a surprise appearance to confront Jon Moxley and his Death Riders teammates, Wheeler Yuta and Claudio Castagnoli. And just recently, he made his in-ring return at AEW Dynamite: Fight For The Fallen, teaming up with his longtime friends FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler). Together, they defeated the Death Riders in an intense match that had fans on the edge of their seats.

Aside from Cope's return, there was also plenty of drama on the show, with Jay White interfering and causing chaos in the ring. In the end, Cope, with the help of FTR, emerged victorious, pinning Yuta after a Spear. But that wasn't the only exciting news of the night. Jeff Jarrett, another WWE Hall of Famer, announced that he had signed his final wrestling contract with AEW. He also revealed his plans to go after the world championship before officially retiring.

But not everything was met with enthusiasm on Dynamite. Fans had some complaints about the new theme song for the show, which is The Pointer Sisters' 1982 hit, "I'm So Excited." Some fans felt that it wasn't a fitting choice for a wrestling show, while others argued that it was a great fit for AEW's new era. Nonetheless, it was a night full of surprises and emotions for both wrestlers and fans.
