In a recent social media post, he noted that his wrestling journey "will not last a lot longer." The WWE Hall of Famer is currently out of action with a storyline injury. He was taken out by FTR at the AEW Dynasty pay-per-view earlier this year. Adam Copeland Reflects On 33-Year Career On July 1st, Copeland celebrated Canada Day by reflecting on his career. The date also marked the 33rd anniversary of his professional wrestling debut. He thanked his fans for their support throughout his journey. He then stated that he plans to soak in every moment he has left. "It won't last a lot longer so I'm gonna soak in every second," Copeland wrote. "Thank you for coming along on this ride with me."

PHILIPPE HUGUEN/AFP/Getty Images More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation Adam Copeland's Current AEW Status Copeland made his AEW debut in October 2023 at WrestleDream. Since then, he has won the TNT Championship and challenged for the AEW World Title. He is currently sidelined after FTR turned on him at AEW Dynasty. The duo attacked him and hit him with a con-chair-to. There is no official timeline for his return to AEW television. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Adam Copeland (@ratedrcope) Copeland, known in WWE as Edge, is one of the most decorated superstars in the company's history. He first revolutionized the industry alongside his partner Christian, winning a record 14 world tag team championships and pioneering the iconic Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match. As a singles star, "The Rated-R Superstar" became an 11-time World Champion. He was also the first-ever Money in the Bank winner, a two-time Royal Rumble winner (2010 and 2021), and a King of the Ring. A Grand Slam Champion, Edge was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2012 following a career-ending injury, only to make a miraculous return to the ring years later to continue building his legendary resume. Edge's first retirement was a sudden and emotional event that took place on the April 11, 2011, episode of Monday Night Raw. He was forced to end his in-ring career immediately after being diagnosed with cervical spinal stenosis, a severe narrowing of the spinal canal. Doctors warned him that he was risking paralysis or worse if he took another bad bump. The announcement was especially shocking as he was the reigning World Heavyweight Champion, having just defended the title at WrestleMania XXVII. During a heartfelt and tearful speech, he recounted his journey and officially vacated the championship, laying it in the center of the ring. Believed to be the definitive end of his career, he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2012 before making a miraculous and unexpected return to the ring nearly nine years later at the 2020 Royal Rumble.

Ohio lawmakers to introduce bill banning abortion, criminalizing the procedure
Republican lawmakers in Ohio are planning on introducing a bill on Wednesday that would ban almost all abortions and criminalize the procedure. The " Ohio Prenatal Equal Protection Act" would overturn the amendment to the Ohio constitution, voted on in 2023, that establishes "an individual right to one's own reproductive medical treatment, including but not limited to abortion" before viability. Reproductive medical treatment includes contraception, fertility treatments and miscarriage care. Abortions are currently allowed up to 20 weeks since fertilization, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research group that studies sexual and reproductive rights. "[It] is a very, very simple and beautiful piece of legislation in that all it does is identify all human beings as persons deserving equal protection of the law, both born humans and pre-born humans," anti-abortion advocate Austin Beigel, with End Abortion Ohio, told ABC News. "So, it identifies those personhood rights starting at the moment of fertilization, when the new distinct organism is formed, the new human life that being that person now has equal protection under the law." Kellie Copeland, executive director of Abortion Forward, which helped pass the 2023 amendment in Ohio, said the bill goes against the will of voters. "This is the most extreme and anti-life legislation that you can imagine," she told ABC News. "It would strip Ohioans of their constitutionally guaranteed right to bodily autonomy, and that's the goal of this legislation." When Beigel was asked if he was concerned that the bill may go against the will of the voters, he said he was not because "the will of the voters was evil." "In many times in our country's history, the majority of people have desired evil things. We have discriminated horribly against the Black man and woman, and people wanted that," he continued. "So, I have no qualms about saying I oppose the majority of the will of the people when the people desire something that is evil." Copeland replied that "subjecting people to the loss of bodily autonomy, taking basic human rights away from Ohioans is the real evil that we're talking about here." Beigel said he has been working with Republican state Reps. Levi Dean and Jonathan Newman on the bill, which uses the U.S. Constitution's equal protection clause -- part of the Fourteenth Amendment -- to override Ohio's constitutional amendment. Beigel said the co-sponsors will be announced on Wednesday. Dean's and Newman's offices did not immediately return ABC News' request for comment. The bill would ban abortion with no exceptions for rape or incest. The only exceptions would be for a spontaneous miscarriage or to save the life of the pregnant woman. The bill would also criminalize those who have abortions, not just the providers who perform the procedure. Copeland she is worried the bill could lead to attacks on people who support abortion rights or who underwent abortions. "When people equate reproductive health care with murder, that kind of rhetoric invites violence," Copeland said. "It invites violence that we have seen at abortion clinics that we have seen perpetrated against abortion providers." Beigel said the bill does not outlaw contraception and is not designed to outlaw in-vitro fertilization (IVF). However, he did say that IVF may not be able to function the way that it does now if the bill is passed because it would apply equal protection to "pre-born humans." "The courts are going to have to debate the implications of this," he said. "Is it actually moral to freeze a young human being in a cryochamber and preserve them at the age they are and not let them grow?" Ohio's history of abortion bills In 2019, Ohio lawmakers passed a so-called heartbeat bill that bans abortions after cardiac activity can be detected, which occurs as early as six weeks of pregnancy, before many women know they're pregnant. It was signed into law by Gov. Mike DeWine. The ban had no exceptions for rape or incest. The only exceptions were cases of ectopic pregnancies and to prevent the mother's death or impairment of a major bodily function. A federal judge blocked the ban in 2019, but it was reinstated just hours after the Supreme Court decision to overrule Roe v. Wade. In September 2022, an Ohio lower court granted a temporary restraining order before granting a preliminary injunction a few weeks later. In December 2023, the state's Supreme Court dismissed the state's appeal and sent the case back to the lower courts. In November 2023, 57% of voters approved the passing of the amendment, adding abortion protections to the state constitution. Much of the six-week ban was rendered unconstitutional after the amendment went into effect in December 2023, Ohio's Attorney General Dave Yost said earlier this year. However, some lawmakers have tried to maintain other parts of the ban, including reporting requirements and a 24-hour waiting period before an abortion can be administered.

Misty Copeland is retiring and moving to the next stage
Ten years ago this month, Misty Copeland sat in front of a hastily arranged news conference at American Ballet Theatre, fighting back tears of pride over her new role: principal dancer. 'This is it,' she said, with emotion. 'This has been my dream since I was 13.' The occasion was highly unusual — normally, when a dancer is promoted, a brief press release is issued. But this was Copeland, a crossover star with fame far beyond the insular world of ballet. And now she was becoming the first Black female principal in the company's 75-year history — just days after her New York debut as the lead in 'Swan Lake' brought a refreshingly diverse, packed audience to the Metropolitan Opera House. Now, a decade and many accomplishments later, Copeland is retiring from the company she joined as a teenager. 'It's been 25 years at ABT, and I think it's time,' Copeland, 42, told the Associated Press last week ahead of Monday's official announcement of her move. 'It's time for me to move to the next stage.' The company is planning a splashy farewell on Oct. 22, featuring performances by Copeland — for the first time in five years — and other dancers. There will be speeches and film clips. And Copeland, who's been heavily involved in the planning, will get a chance to venture one more time onto that balcony in Verona; she'll dance again in the beautiful 'Romeo and Juliet' pas de deux. Honorary chairs for the evening will be Caroline Kennedy and Oprah Winfrey. A lot has happened in a quarter-century. Copeland, whose success brought new energy to an art form that has always been overwhelmingly white, has authored a number of books, including a memoir and and several works for young people. The second installment of 'Bunheads' arrives in September, and more are already planned in a series she calls 'a reflection of my journey, showing the range of cultures and types of people that can be a part of the ballet world.' Copeland has also made a short film with her production company. And her philanthropic organization, The Misty Copeland Foundation, works on increasing diversity in the dance world and giving more kids who grew up economically disadvantaged, like she did, the chance to dance. What does this moment mean? Is ballet a chapter that's now ending for you? You know, I've become the person that I am today, and have all the opportunities I have today, because of ballet, (and) because of American Ballet Theatre. I feel like this is me saying thank you to the company. So it's a farewell. (But) it won't be the end of me dancing. ... Never say never. Who are some of the partners you've most enjoyed working with? I think about my partnership with (former ABT principal) Roberto Bolle and him giving me so many opportunities to travel the world with him ... (Former ABT principal) Marcelo Gomes, he's been such a such a big part of my journey, and of course Herman Cornejo. We've had a beautiful partnership throughout my career and I'm excited to dance with him again (at the October farewell,) So you've got the foundation, you've got the writing career, the production company. Which of those areas do you think you'll be focusing most on? It's been pretty evenly split between all of then. I think it just depends on what's at the forefront and what needs my focus. ... But it's exciting to be able to utilize dance in so many different mediums, and to me, that's how you get true diversity - by giving people different entry points into learning about dance and feeling like they can be a part of it, which has been my goal. How do I bring dance to as many people as possible in a way that really works for them? Associated Press
