Adam Copeland to Replace Injured Jay White in AEW's Clockwork Carnage Match

Adam Copeland is set to participate in the Clockwork Carnage match at AEW WrestleDream 2026 following an injury to Jay White, which altered the original lineup.

Copeland secured his place in the match by defeating Josh Alexander on the October 14 episode of AEW Dynamite. He will face reigning AEW World Champion Will Ospreay along with six other competitors.

Initially, Jay White was expected to compete in the match, but he sustained an injury during the Tailgate Brawl at the September 26 AEW All Out 2026 pre-show. AEW has not yet disclosed the specifics of White's injury or his recovery timeline.
