TNA Wrestling star Nic Nemeth recently addressed concerns about the pace of the Christian Cage AEW storyline rush during a conversation on Busted Open Radio. Nemeth expressed his belief that All Elite Wrestling expedited the build-up between Christian Cage and Adam Copeland, raising questions about the timing ahead of the Forbidden Door event.
Speaking about the upcoming pay-per-view, Nemeth said,
“Forbidden Door, a little over a week away. I wonder now that we’re talking about it, is it a ‘Man, you know what would be a great moment for this Forbidden Door pay-per-view to get something going? Can we speed this up three months?’”

Uncertainty Surrounding the Storyline’s Authenticity and Future
Nemeth also expressed hope that the rapid progression might be a deliberate misdirection, rather than a complete story resolution. He reflected on the nature of the interactions between Cage and Copeland, noting some hesitation in their exchanges.
He elaborated,
“I really hope it’s a ruse. I’m going to stay with that because it wasn’t a full embrace, but yes, you did get the hug. You got the match made. The match is made. It’s official no matter what happens. If it’s a ding, ding, ding and it’s [like Ric] Flair turning on Sting and they all just kick the s*** out of Cope, you still had the match made and the three quarters of a hug. So maybe it is, maybe it isn’t. Maybe it’s a moment of reluctance and the story continues at Forbidden Door, but it happens so quickly.”

Implications for AEW and the Upcoming Forbidden Door Event
This quick advancement in the Christian Cage AEW storyline rush could have significant effects on how fans engage with the pay-per-view and the narrative depth surrounding the wrestlers. Nemeth’s remarks suggest that while the match is confirmed, the storyline development may lack the usual buildup, potentially impacting its long-term reception. As the Forbidden Door event approaches, viewers will watch closely to see whether the story unfolds as anticipated or shifts in unexpected ways.
