Adam Copeland & Christian Cage win first AEW tag match at Forbidden Door
Adam Copeland and Christian Cage picked up their first win as a tag team in AEW at Forbidden Door on Sunday.
They defeated Kip Sabian and Killswitch in the opening match of the pay-per-view from London’s O2 Arena. In the early moments, Cage and Copeland didn’t appear to be on the same page, as Christian was hesitant to tag in when Killswitch was the legal man.
As the match went on, Copeland and Cage began working together more effectively, while Sabian and Killswitch showed signs of dissension. At one point, Sabian demanded a tag and Killswitch obliged by delivering a hard chop to his chest.
The finish saw Christian lift Sabian up for Copeland to hit a spear, with Cage then making the cover for the win. Following the win, the two shook hands but Cage was hesitant to give Copeland a full hug.
It was their first match together since 2011, with their full-time run as Edge and Christian having ended in 2001. Our ongoing pay-per-view coverage is available here.
