For the first time in over a decade, one of the most decorated and influential tag teams in wrestling history has officially reunited. On the August 13th episode of AEW Dynamite, Adam Copeland and Christian Cage joined forces once again, and their first match back has been set for AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door.
The emotional reunion is the culmination of months of storyline teases. The two lifelong friends, who were recently feuding with each other, have now come together to fight a common enemy.
The Reunion
The main event segment of Dynamite saw Adam Copeland defeat Stokely Hathaway. After the match, Copeland was brutally attacked by FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler). As FTR was setting up for another attack, Christian Cage's music hit, and he stormed the ring with a spiked piece of wood to make the save.
After chasing off FTR and his own former protégé, Nick Wayne, Cage stood face-to-face with Copeland. He then handed the weapon to his old friend, and the two embraced in the center of the ring to a massive ovation from the Chicago crowd.

A Legendary Partnership
Adam Copeland and Christian Cage, known for decades as Edge and Christian, are one of the most iconic tag teams of all time. The childhood friends are seven-time WWE World Tag Team Champions. Alongside The Hardy Boyz and The Dudley Boyz, they revolutionized tag team wrestling in the Attitude Era with the creation of the legendary Tables, Ladders, and Chairs (TLC) matches.
After both men went on to have separate, Hall of Fame-worthy singles careers, they found themselves in AEW together in recent years. This led to a brief but personal feud against each other, which makes their reunion to fight a common enemy in FTR—the team that brutally injured Copeland earlier this year—all the more impactful.

I tried on a bunch of dresses from Gap, RW&CO, Banana Republic & more — these are the best ones, starting under $50
One of my favourites is more than 50 per cent off right now. Anyone who knows me knows I love dresses. As a shopping writer who has made a profession out of trying on clothes, I've become quite adept at spotting frocks that flatter my 48-year-old body. However, it had been a while since I last visited the likes of mall brands like Banana Republic, Dynamite and RW&CO, and I wondered if I would still find their frocks flattering. To my surprise, I actually found a ton of dresses that were both flattering and affordable. Intrigued? Check out nine of the best dresses for 40+ women below. Banana Republic Mixed-Media Cut-Out Midi Dress $126 $260 at Banana Republic As a mom of two young kids, I don't often wear white dresses, but this Banana Republic midi dress immediately caught my eye. The stretch jersey twist top fits perfectly, and the centre cutout adds just the right amount of exposure. Plus, the 100 per cent cotton poplin skirt is made even better with its side seam pockets. One reviewer described this dress as "elegant and sophisticated," and I couldn't agree more. While it's usually $260, you can snag it at more than 50 per cent off right now — but sizes are going fast, so hurry! Dynamite Flared Oxford Mini Shirt Dress $70 at Dynamite The dress selection at Dynamite was dynamite! This collared one is especially flattering. Thanks to its gathering and shirring at the waist, my mom pooch is nowhere to be seen. I also really like the oversized sleeves of this comfortable cotton mini. It's sexy, fun and I can easily dress it up or down. Talbots Modern Poplin Midi Dress - Stunning Floral $170 at Talbots I hadn't shopped at Talbots since I was a kid, when I reluctantly went with my mom. However, I've heard great things about their revitalized look, so I decided to stop in — and I was blown away! This cotton dress, with its dropped waist, capped sleeves and seam pockets, is so pretty. I loved the floral pattern and appreciated the hidden back zip closure for a more secure fit. Gap Lace-Trim Maxi Slip Dress $47 $118 at Gap When it's hot and humid, nothing beats a slip dress. This rayon-nylon blend from Gap features adjustable straps and a lace trim that makes this middle-aged mama feel sexy. The side slit enhances the dress's appeal, making it perfect for lounging around the house or for an evening walk on the beach. Plus, the wrinkle-free fabric is ideal for travel. H&M Oversized Tie-Belt Dress $45 at H&M H&M is one of my favourite stores to shop at, particularly when I'm looking for something stylish on a budget. This oversized floral dress perfectly embodies everything I love about dresses; it's cute, flowy and flattering. The front buttons and removable tie belt further enhance the playful style, and the balloon sleeves also add a fun touch. RW&CO Sleeveless Halter-Neck Maxi Dress $140 at RW&CO I spotted this dress as soon as I entered RW&CO and knew I had to try it on. The halter neck ties in the back, and the flowy fabric feels amazing. You could pair it with a brown belt for structure, but I actually love the flare silhouette. Banana Republic Cotton Poplin Wrap Maxi Dress $260 at Banana Republic Banana Republic does it again! With a flattering V-neck front and concealed button closure, this ankle-length dress suits a variety of bust sizes. I love the deep side pockets, and the leather trim around the straps adds a nice touch. The only downside? It's quite pricey, ringing in at over $250. RW&CO Extended-Sleeve Denim Midi Dress $130 at RW&CO I'm obsessed with the heavier fabric of this cute denim number from RW&CO. The midi length combined with button-front and a tie-waist combines for a really flattering silhouette, and I'm loving the '90s Shania Twain vibes this frock is giving off. Pair it over a long-sleeve tee and with cute ankle boots in the fall, and you're off to the races. Levi's Ravina Midi Dress $100 at Levi's Levi's isn't the first place I think of when shopping for dresses, but I popped in on a whim and found this cute A-line one number. The smocking at the back made for a very comfortable fit, and the 100 per cent cotton fabric is sure to feel great on even the most humid of days. Also, the bra-friendly straps make it ideal for anyone who wants to wear some support underneath.
