Adam Copeland and Christian Cage have reunited as a tag team in All Elite Wrestling, gearing up for a major match at All Out 2025. The Christian Cage AEW tag team recently received acclaim from former AEW World Tag Team Champion Dax Harwood, who praised the veterans just ahead of their upcoming encounter.
Having resolved past disputes, Copeland and Cage decided to join forces to confront their common rivals. Their enemies include The Matriarchy—Nick Wayne, Shayne Wayne, and Kip Sabian—as well as the combination of FTR and Stokely, highlighting the intense competition they face in AEW’s tag team division.
Historic Reunion and Recent Victories
The team’s official return took place at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door 2025, where Copeland and Cage defeated Kip Sabian, known as Superbad Sabian, and a returning Killswitch. This victory marked a significant milestone in their alliance, reviving the legendary partnership reminiscent of their days as Edge and Christian.
On a recent episode of AEW Dynamite, Copeland and Cage launched a surprise attack against tag champions Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler, also known as FTR. They immediately challenged FTR to a high-stakes match at the upcoming All Out pay-per-view, setting the stage for a widely anticipated showdown.
Dax Harwood Highlights the Importance of the Match
Dax Harwood expressed enthusiasm on social media for the forthcoming clash, framing it as a battle between two influential tag teams representing different eras. Referencing the match, he wrote:
“Pioneers vs Architects Two Teams. Two Eras. One Legacy. Copeland & Cage vs FTR.” —Dax Harwood, AEW Wrestler
Harwood’s respect for Copeland and Cage as “pioneers” emphasizes the match’s significance in the evolution of tag team wrestling within AEW.
FTR’s Role in Recent AEW Tag Team Championship Battles
At AEW Forbidden Door, Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler competed in a high-profile three-way match for the AEW World Tag Team Titles. Their opponents included the popular team of Bandido and Brody King as well as the reigning champions, Shelton Benjamin and Bobby Lashley.
During the match, a surprise intervention by Ricochet and GOA temporarily removed The Hurt Syndicate members, altering the match’s dynamics. Ultimately, Bandido and Brody King, also known as Brodido, captured the tag titles in a show of impressive teamwork and skill at London’s O2 Arena.
With Bandido and Brody King holding the championships, both FTR and the Christian Cage AEW tag team face the challenge of earning the next title opportunity, making their upcoming match essential for the division’s future landscape.
The Stakes Ahead of All Out 2025
The upcoming All Out 2025 pay-per-view will serve as a pivotal event for both teams. Copeland and Christian Cage look to prove their resurgence in the ring by overcoming the formidable FTR duo, while the outcome could also influence future contenders for the AEW tag team championships.
This clash not only showcases two highly skilled teams but also symbolizes the ongoing evolution of AEW’s tag team scene, blending veteran experience with contemporary talent in a fight that fans eagerly await.
