Aleister Black Lost Over a Pint of Blood in Brutal Cage Match Against Adam Copeland

The 2024 AEW Double or Nothing pay-per-view featured Adam Copeland defending his TNT Championship against Aleister Black in a brutal steel cage match. In fact, Black has now claimed that he lost over a pint of blood in the match.

While speaking on Wrestling the Rap Game podcast, Aleister Black talked about his steel cage match with Adam Copeland last year. He called the match one of his favorites in AEW and said Adam was very helpful and easy to work with, making the match a lot of fun.

Black remembered how badly he bled, with people estimating he lost about a pint and a half of blood because it kept pouring out for so long. Even though it was a lot, he thought the blood made the match feel even more intense, especially since he doesn’t usually bleed in his matches.

Black stated that the cage match needed to be violent and felt that they pulled it off by mixing slow, heavy moments with quick, sharp action to make it really exciting.

“The cage match was great. It was definitely one of my favorite matches that I’ve done in AEW, and you know, Adam is just—man, he’s Adam Cole, dude. Like, he’s—god damn it, you know—and he was very giving. And we had such a blast in there, mhm. I just remember, I lost so much blood in that match. I lost—they calculated I lost about a pint and a half, that’s what they think. Jesus.

Because it bled so long and so profusely, it was like—it was pouring out. But it added so much, you know? And also, because you don’t see me bleed that often.”

Yeah, it was just like—that cage match had to be violent. I think we absolutely added a level of violence in there that was like slow, methodical, but then also very precise and quick at times.”

Black made his return during the April 25 episode of WWE SmackDown, and he destroyed The Miz with a Black Mass. He’s back in WWE for good, but will always be grateful for his time in AEW and that’s never going to change.
