Adam Copeland explains in his tweet why he did not renew his contract with WWE at the end of the contract that expires this Saturday.

“First, I want to talk about my 25 years with WWE. I love WWE and appreciate everything it has done for me. It will always be like that. They made me known, gave me extraordinary opportunities and thanks to hard work on both sides, I was given a wonderful career. WWE allowed me to meet the woman I would start my family with. » says the 49-year-old wrestler. “Sometimes relationships fall apart and WWE and I feel like we’ve outgrown each other. I wanted to do more. They didn’t have much to offer me. It’s as simple as that. And that’s okay. I’ll continue to see and support all my friends in WWE.”
