This was the veteran&#8217;s debut in Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling. Cope vs. Maclin was an excellent showdown, which the former TNT Champion ultimately won after a lot of effort. Interestingly, Cope paid tribute to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/aew\/news-christian-cage-takes-brutal-shot-wwe-tko-aew-dynamite\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Christian Cage<\/a> during this bout.<\/p>\n<p>The former Edge delivered a Killswitch on his opponent during Northern Rising.

The veteran spoke about the importance of wrestling venues in this conversation. The former champion said that venues have immense sentimental value for wrestlers. He is very attached to Maple Leaf Gardens.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cI think because if you find yourself in a position or if you\u2019ve chosen this career, whatever that career is, and if it\u2019s in sporting or entertainment, chances are part of the reason you fell in love with it is where it happened. For me, the first wrestling show I saw live was at Maple Leaf Gardens, and when I would try and go as many times as I could, it was Maple Leaf Gardens, and then I was also watching the Leafs in Maple Leaf Gardens. So Maple Leaf Gardens became the thread that stitched the quilt of what my childhood was together.\u201d he said.
