Adam Copeland & Christian Cage Reunite For First Match In 14 Years

Adam Copeland and Christian Cage are going to fight together in AEW, but is all really fine between the legendary tag team?

When Adam Copeland made his shock AEW debut, he soon sought out his old partner for a reunion in the twilight of their respective careers. Christian Cage famously told Cope, “Go f*ck yourself,” as an emphatic no to that proposal. A war then broke out between the men, with the TNT Title at the heart of it.

But time is a great healer, as are common enemies. At Dynasty, FTR viciously turned on Adam Copeland, putting him on the shelf for several months. The WWE Hall of Famer made his return to AEW at All In Texas, where he got a measure of revenge on FTR, who were in the ring watching on as The Patriarchy turned on Christian Cage.

Copeland told Cage, “Go find yourself,” but in a recent appearance on AEW TV, Cage was unrepentant about his past actions. Now, on the August 13th edition of Dynamite, the iconic team is finally back together, even if their alliance remains uneasy.

Dynamite saw Copeland take on FTR’s manager Stokely Hathaway in a one-on-one match. Copeland won the match by disqualification as FTR got involved. FTR were on the verge of dropping Adam Copeland with the stuffed piledriver when Christian Cage appeared with Spike to send FTR running.

Adam Copeland & Christian Cage Hug In The Ring

Nick Wayne then ran in with a steel chair, but Cage nailed it with Spike to send Wayne heading for the hills as well. Copeland and Cage then shared a long embrace to signal that they were back on the same page. AEW then confirmed that Adam Copeland and Christian Cage will team up at Forbidden Door to face Nick Wayne and Kip Sabian. This will be the first time Cage and Copeland will team up since they were known simply as Edge and Christian in WWE in 2011.

There is a widely held belief that the massive Copeland & Cage vs. FTR match will take place in Copeland and Cage’s hometown of Toronto in September at All Out.

All Out will go head-to-head with a WWE main roster PLE as Brock Lesnar is set to return to the ring for the first time in over two years.
