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.
