AEW’s Adam Copeland Reacts To Emmy Award Nomination
Adam Copeland is known for his work in pro wrestling, but he’s also had a lot of success as an actor as well.
As a pro wrestler for the last 30 years, Adam Copeland has had a lot of success as WWE Hall of Famer Edge. Since joining AEW in October 2023, Copeland has used his real name and has been impressive as a former TNT Champion who can still go in the ring.
After suffering a broken leg at AEW Double or Nothing following an impressive cage leap, Adam Copeland is expected to return to the ring soon. While Copeland may be cleared to return, there have been reports that he is filming the Disney show “Percy Jackson” until January 2025, which is likely when he’ll make his AEW return.
On the “Percy Jackson” show, Copeland plays a character named Ares.
It was announced this week that Adam Copeland has been nominated for a Children’s & Family Emmy Award for his performance on the Disney + show. Copeland has been nominated in the category of “Supporting Performer in a Preschool, Children’s or Young Teen Program.”
An Emmy Award nomination is a huge accomplishment whether he wins the award or not. It’s also not that common for pro wrestlers to be nominated for awards like that.
Adam Copeland Thanks Supporters For Emmy Award Nomination
Writing on social media, Copeland thanked the crew of Percy Jackson along with his wife, WWE Hall of Famer Beth Copeland (Phoenix).
Massive congrats to @percyseries for its 16 Children’s Emmy nominations. Somehow I fell into that mix. There’s some instances that have occurred during my lifetime that I never expected. But getting nominated for an Emmy tops the list. I’m incredulous, but also humbled and honored.
The credit really goes to all the directors(I’m lookin at you Jet), writers, actors, stunties, hair, makeup and crew(you all hopefully know who you are) etc for making me look better than I should. Rick Riordan, Jonathan Steinberg, @danshotzy and @disneyplus for taking a chance on the guy who wears tights for a living.
My manager Daniel Abrams, who along with Beth, is the Adam Whisperer. And @thebethphoenix who predicted this in 2012. And ohhhh how I laughed. But here we are. Also, sorry I cut your head off in the last pic @walker.scobell didn’t mean to. Honest. I swear. Mwahahahhaa. Ares Rules. He actually won. That is all.
