Adam Copeland and Christian Cage will team up against FTR in a notable tag team match scheduled to open AEW All Out on Saturday at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, the hometown for Copeland. This Christian Cage AEW match highlights a unique clash as two top teams from different wrestling eras compete against each other for one of the rare occasions that such a generational showdown takes place.
Copeland Reflects on the Significance of the Match
During an interview with Rock 95 Barrie, Copeland shared that this bout marks the first time he and Christian Cage will team together in a two-on-two match on a pay-per-view event held in Canada. Despite their long careers, they’ve never joined forces in this format for a Canadian audience before.
“I didn’t realize that Jay and I, Christian and I, have never teamed on pay-per-view in Canada before.”
— Adam Copeland
“That aspect that I didn’t know about until I read it somewhere and I thought, ‘Well, that’s pretty cool, that’s awesome.’
— Adam Copeland
Generational Talents Meet in a Match of Wrestling Eras
Copeland expressed pride in competing at a high level with Cage even at this point in their careers, acknowledging the quality of their opponents. FTR is widely regarded as one of the best tag teams in modern wrestling, with Copeland noting their status among the all-time greats. The match thus represents a fascinating confrontation of champions from distinct time periods.
“And then I think more than anything is just the fact that we’re still here doing it at a level where we feel like we’re contributing at this stage of our careers. And to do it against a team who, I don’t think it’s arguable, is easily one of the best in the world, and I think one of the best teams of all time. So you factor in you have these two teams, one that was dominant their era, one who was dominant in theirs. How does that work out? And there’s not too many instances of matches like that, you can think Rock/Hogan, there’s just not many. This is one of those.”

Past Collaborations and Additional Discussion
Though Copeland and Cage have never previously teamed on Canadian pay-per-view events in two-on-two matches, they did perform together as part of The Brood with Gangrel, securing a win over the Job Squad at In Your House: Rock Bottom in Vancouver back in 1998. Additionally, Copeland touched on his recent feud with John Cena and his use of the Spear finishing move during the interview.
