Rated FTR Give Speech to Hometown Crowd Following AEW Dynamite Fight for the Fallen Show

Following Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite Fight for the Fallen 2025 show in Asheville, North Carolina, Rated FTR’s Dax Harwood gave a speech to the live crowd about their hometown and impact of Hurricane Helene in the area.

“Last time I was in this building, guys it was very bleak in the stands. We had just about 1,000 people, but tonight, you packed it out to see Rated FTR, and we love you guys. Thank you very much.”

Adam Copeland responded talking about his in-ring return from injury and his praise of his hometown community for their strength and perseverance in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.

“First match back in seven months. One more surgery, another plate, seven screws, don’t matter. Because guess what? I live in the 828. Here in the 828, we’re tough sons of bitches. We don’t let a hurricane keep us down, do we? No, we don’t. We pick ourselves up, we dust ourselves off, we dig out, and we all come and have a good time. I cannot say enough about this community. I cannot say enough about the things I saw when we went out trying to help some people, just like all of you did. Because we’re a community, because we’re neighbors. So if I see any of you in the street, just come on up. ‘Hey Cope, what’s up?’ ‘I don’t know man, what’s up with you?’ Maybe we have a coffee, I don’t know. But we’d have a good time, just like we had tonight. So stand up, all of you get off your asses. Everybody get up and say, ‘Go to hell, hurricane.’ Now I want to hear, ‘828.’ We’ll see you next time, Asheville. I love you.”
