Gangrel talks AEW Double or Nothing.
Gangrel made a surprise appearance at AEW Double or Nothing, coming up from under the ring in a barbed wire steel cage match betwee♔n Adam Copeland and Malakai Black. With the help of Gangrel, Copeland was able to fend off Malakai, Brody King, and Buddy Matthews to secure the victory.
Copeland hinted at Gangrel and The Bওrood during a previous promo on AEW television, and The Brood was 💖referenced during his entrance.
Appearing🎉 on , Gangrel discussed how things came together.
"Adam is hard-headed. Once he has a story or something in his mind, he's going to get it done one way or another. Eventually, it went over to AEW and he got it done. I'm appreciative for it. I'm 55 years old. I didn't know if I could crawl up through the bottom of the ring being under there for a while. My biggest fear was, 'Can I get up and move?' My adrenaline kicked in. I was just blessed to be part of that moment.
"When I saw him do the interview, I already knew I was coming in. He just wanted to keep it quiet. When he did that interview, I was like, 'He's planting the seeds. He's going to make sure they do remember.' Smart man. They kept it hush-hush. I didn't tell anybody. They had me come in last minute. I stayed in his locker room the whole time. When I went to the ring, (Chris) Jericho was like, 'What are you doing here?' They were able to keep it quiet as best they could and I was surprised by that. It's really hard to do in wrestling nowadays. I didn't get wheelchaired in and covered up or anything like that. Just came in early, went to the locker room and sat there all day. Right before the match, threw a black hoodie on, went out there with the ring crew, climbed under the deal, and that was that."
Though Copeland won the match, he unfortunately suffered a fractured tibia and is sideline💫d indefinitely.
