Copeland won a rare independent match after interference, weapons and a Rhino save in a main event that marked his first first-time venue appearance.

  • On Saturday, Adam Copeland defeated Steve Maclin in the main event of Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling's MLP Northern Rising at the historic Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto, Ontario.
  • Wrestling at the famous Maple Leaf Gardens was a bucket list item for Copeland, who returned to the ring in 2020 after completing his WWE deal.
  • The main event featured Maclin using a goalie mask and tables before Deonna Purrazzo interfered with pepper spray; Rhino made the save, allowing Copeland to finish with a final spear.
  • Reflecting on the night, Copeland said, "Tonight, this building opens its doors to another generation," emphasizing his mission to write the next chapter for those fighting to make their mark.
  • This event marked Copeland's first non-WWE or AEW match since 2001, when he wrestled for the Heartland Wrestling Association; fans can access results via MyAEW and PPV.
