Adam Copeland on the significance of match with Christian Cage vs. FTR at AEW All Out

Adam Copeland says that his and Christian Cage’s match against FTR at AEW All Out will be one of the rare instances of two top teams from different generations squaring off.

Cope and Cage vs. FTR is set to open Saturday’s show at the Scotiabank Arena in their hometown of Toronto. During a recent interview with Rock 95 Barrie, Copeland was asked why this match is important and mentioned that it’s the first time he and Christian have ever teamed together in a two-on-two match on a pay-per-view in Canada.

“I didn’t realize that Jay and I, Christian and I, have never teamed on pay-per-view in Canada before.”

“That aspect that I didn’t know about until I read it somewhere and I thought, ‘Well, that’s pretty cool, that’s awesome.'”

“And then I think more than anything is just the fact that we’re still here doing it at a level where we feel like we’re contributing at this stage of our careers. And to do it against a team who, I don’t think it’s arguable, is easily one of the best in the world, and I think one of the best teams of all time. So you factor in you have these two teams, one that was dominant their era, one who was dominant in theirs. How does that work out? And there’s not too many instances of matches like that, you can think Rock/Hogan, there’s just not many. This is one of those.”

Cope and Christian have never teamed together in a two-on-two match on a pay-per-view in Canada before, but they did team with Gangrel as The Brood in a win over the Job Squad at In Your House: Rock Bottom in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1998.

Copeland also discusses his feud with John Cena, using the Spear as a finisher, and more during the interview. It is available in full below.
