Adam Copeland & Christian Cage return at AEW Revolution

Adam Copeland & Christian Cage | AEW

For the first time since September, Adam Copeland and Christian Cage have returned to AEW, making a surprise return at Sunday’s Revolution.

The duo appeared after FTR’s successful AEW World Tag Team title defense over the Young Bucks as the lights went out with the word “Revenge” shown on the video board. Copeland’s music hit followed by Cage’s, but as FTR and Stokely Hathaway were looking toward the entrance, Cage snuck behind them, spraying a substance in Wheeler’s eyes followed by a Killswitch to Dax Harwood. Copeland then took out Wheeler with a spear.

The two then tossed Hathaway outside, picked up the title belts, and stared down FTR before the Bucks re-entered the ring behind them, leading to a “holy sh*t” chant and all four men then staring down FTR to end the segment.

Copeland and Cage defeated FTR at last September’s All Out but Harwood and Wheeler took out the debuting Beth Copeland with a spike piledriver afterward. In a segment shown later, Adam Copeland told Cage he needed to take time off to write them out of storyline.

Copeland has been working movie and TV projects in addition to his second memoir.
