Judy Copeland, mother of WWE Hall of Famer Adam “Edge” Copeland, has passed away, WWE is saddened to learn.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, Edge shared several photos of his mother with a written tribute to honor his “rock.”
“She never doubted me. Ever,” he wrote. “I wanna be a wrestler Ma. ‘Do it.’ She scraped together our pennies and kept me fed and clothed and even managed to get me those Kiss action figures and Wrestlemania tickets. Somehow. Because that’s what she did. She supported me and bred me to be the man I eventually became. Took some elbow grease, but I got there. A point where she knew I was going to be fine. I found an amazing partner and I’m the father to two beautiful little girls. I lived my dream and continue to do so because she watered me and let me blossom.”
WWE extends its condolences to Edge’s family, friends and fans.
