In acknowledging the significant impact of working with Vince McMahon, Triple H, and now Tony Khan, Edge reflected on the differing perspectives each figure brings to the wrestling industry. He highlighted that Paul and Tony approach wrestling as fans, emphasizing a love for the sport.

In contrast, the TKO Chairman, while also having a degree of fandom, tends to view it more from a business and global perspective. Copeland suggested that this fundamental mindset difference might be the key distinction between the three individuals.

Paul and Tony are fans, and I think Vince is to a degree, but he looks at it from more of the business and more of the global thing, but at the heart of this thing, you know, Hunter was a fan and Tony was a fan. So I think they come at it from that mindset. I think that might be the difference maybe.
