"My experience by the end with WWE was overproduced, over rehearsed, over EVERYTHING. And it kept handcuffs on you to where you couldn't really explore too much. That's not the case with AEW, it's fun!" - Adam Copeland on Ariel Helwani Show

Of course it's been great to see over these nearly three (!!!) years what Cope has been able to do with AEW as far as stretching his creative muscle from talking about the initial vignette filmed with Darby ahead of Wrestledream to the Brood reunion to the approach with Christian Cage as rivals and reunited tag team partners. And hey, some like Cope and Mox may thrive in bringing endless ideas to the table in AEW which is something he also emphasized in the interview and then on the other side of the coin, you have Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins doing things how they prefer to do them in the WWE machine.
