Swerve Strickland and Stars React to AEW’s Heartwarming Post

Recently, Kip Sabian shared a heartfelt post on social media celebrating his marriage to fellow AEW wrestler Penelope Ford, drawing reactions from notable stars including Swerve Strickland and Adam Copeland (formerly known as Edge). The post featured tender images of the couple, who tied the knot in 2021, highlighting their ongoing affection despite Sabian’s absence from AEW television in recent months.

Although Penelope Ford has recently returned to AEW programming, Sabian took to Instagram to commemorate their anniversary with the simple caption:

“Happy anniversary @the_penelopeford my love 💕”

This expression of love earned likes from numerous AEW personalities such as Renee Paquette and Taya Valkyrie, with several adding comments to join in the celebration.

Reason Behind Adam Copeland’s AEW TV Absence

Adam Copeland, who last competed at All Out 2025 alongside Christian Cage in a victorious tag team bout against FTR, has been notably missing from AEW television since then. While he made a backstage appearance on the following episode of Dynamite, Copeland has not returned on-screen. Tony Khan recently clarified the situation during an interview with Adrian Hernandez, revealing the reason for Copeland’s break from AEW shows.

“Adam’s [Copeland] in England shooting a huge Hollywood movie,” Tony informed.

Fans will need to be patient to see when the former WWE Superstar will resume his AEW appearances.

Impact of the Post and AEW Community’s Support

Kip Sabian’s social media message reflects the close-knit atmosphere within AEW, where stars support one another both personally and professionally. The collective reaction from wrestlers such as Swerve Strickland, Renee Paquette, and Penelope Ford herself underlines the strong bonds shared by the roster. Highlighting these moments of warmth during a time of absence for Sabian provides fans with a glimpse into the personal lives behind the performances.

As AEW continues to expand its reach and storylines, personal milestones shared by its performers add depth to fan engagement. With Adam Copeland temporarily focused on his Hollywood career in England, attention remains on the evolving dynamics within AEW and how stars like Sabian and Ford contribute beyond the ring.
