Adam Copeland could take the Death Riders storyline to a new level

Adam Copeland hasn't been seen in AEW since breaking his leg at Double or Nothing in May. He suffered the injury when leaping from the top of a cage to send Malakai Black through a table. 

During Copeland's absence, AEW underwent some crucial shifts, with the primary change being a focus on legitimate long-term storytelling. Jon Moxley and the Death Riders are the leading faction in AEW as they continue to embark on a civil war against the locker room. 

AEW could use Copeland's experience as a storyteller, both in the ring and on the microphone, as he would help elevate the growing story to new heights. Unfortunately, there is no set timeline for the veteran's return to the ring. 

“We’ve been missing him very, very much," Tony Khan said during a news conference after Full Gear. "He was doing so great this year for us as the TNT Champion. We really missed the ‘Rated-R Superstar’ so much, and I can’t wait to hopefully get him back at some point in the near future. ... As soon as we can get him back, it’s going to make a huge positive difference to have Adam back on this team. We really missed the ‘Rated-R Superstar.’"
