The AEW World Tag Team Championship Match concluded with the champions retaining their titles, but the event was overshadowed by a dramatic betrayal and the startling comeback of Adam Copeland. In a wild three-way contest, The Hurt Syndicate (Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin) held onto their titles against Jetspeed and The Patriarchy. The finish came when FTR intervened, allowing Lashley to execute the spear on Christian Cage for the pinfall victory. After the match, Cage was viciously attacked by his protégé, Nick Wayne, with Kip Sabian joining the assault. Nick Wayne’s mother, present at ringside, angrily slammed the cage before Wayne set up a chair attack.
Just as Wayne was about to strike, Adam Copeland’s entrance music played, and the WWE Hall of Famer rushed to the ring to rescue Cage. Copeland cleared the ring, delivering spears to Kip Sabian, Nick Wayne, and FTR. In a powerful and emotional moment, Copeland helped his old friend and rival Christian Cage to his feet, but instead of embracing him, he told Cage, “Go find yourself,” leaving Cage stunned in the ring.
This marks Adam Copeland’s first AEW appearance since Malakai Black’s brutal attack on him during Dynamite last April. His return introduces a new and unpredictable dynamic to AEW’s future storylines and Christian Cage’s trajectory.
Fan Take: Adam Copeland’s shocking return injects fresh excitement and mystery into AEW, promising high-stakes drama ahead. For fans, this moment is a game-changer, potentially reshaping alliances and rivalries in a way that could elevate the entire tag team division and main event scene.
