Adam Copeland paid tribute to a legendary WWE figure during his first appearance at Arena Mexico for AEW Grand Slam Mexico.
The star being honored was none other than the iconic luchador, Rey Mysterio. Adam Copeland participated in the opening match of the August 5 episode of Dynamite: Grand Slam Mexico. Partnering with Christian Cage and the Young Bucks, he faced off against the Death Riders, consisting of Jon Moxley, Wheeler Yuta, Daniel Garcia, and Pac. The event took place before an enthusiastic crowd that filled Arena Mexico in Mexico City.
The match was an intense and fast-paced clash as both teams vied for dominance. At one point, Copeland and Nick Jackson got the better of Jon Moxley, leaving him dazed on the ropes. Recognizing the moment, the Rated-R Superstar and the former AEW EVP decided to honor Rey Mysterio by executing a double 619. A video of this moment can be viewed below:

After this highlight, the match continued with both teams striving for victory. In the closing moments, Adam Copeland attempted a spear but miscommunicated with Matt Jackson on the ring apron. This mistake allowed Jon Moxley to pin the 11-time World Champion using his tights, securing a three-count.
Post-match, there was noticeable tension between Cope & Christian and the Young Bucks. However, Cope extended a handshake, and they all exited together. This tension sets the stage for their upcoming clash for the AEW World Tag Team Championships at All In 2026, a highly anticipated encounter. The next developments remain to be seen.
