The crowd at AEW Forbidden Door 2025 was absolutely emphatic last night. Adam Copeland‘s entrance was an early high point of the pay-per-view, with a packed London crowd singing Alter Bridge‘s “Metalingus” so loud you could barely hear the song itself.

Adam Copeland and Christian Cage opened the main card of Forbidden Door with a match against Killswitch and Nick Wayne. Christian got his revenge on the former Patriarchy members following their fallout at All In, seemingly “finding himself” after a long and bloody feud with Copeland.

A reported 18,992 fans were in attendance at the O2 Arena, and it sounded like every last one of them came together to sing Copeland‘s entrance music. Just listen to the British crowd completely overtake “Metalingus” during Copeland‘s walk to the ring.

“When I was out with my neck injury, I met [Alter Bridge guitarist] Mark Tremonti,” Copeland told Journey of a Frontman about adopting “Metalingus” as his entrance music. “I met him at a Metallica show, actually. And I went back to his place after and he played me what would end up being the first Alter Bridge album. I heard ‘Metalingus’ and I was like, ‘Dude, can I use that when I come back?’ And he said, ‘Yeah! Of course!” So that ended up being the genesis of it and when I heard it, it was actually Mark singing. It hadn’t been Myles [Kennedy] yet. So it was in its infancy, but I had heard that song. I was like, ‘Okay, that’s gonna be what I come to the ring to.’ And that’s how that all started.”
