EXTENDED & UNEDITED: The reunion of Christian Cage & Rated-R Superstar Adam Copeland! | AEW Dynamite

[@SpocksEvilKlone]

A heartfelt, passionate, 10+ minute promo by Copeland that brings the fans up, dying to see the two of them tag again, and Cage kills it all with three words. This is tremendous.

Edge vs Wardlow

[@match356]

It’s only going to get better… I trust AEW!

[@DumbIdeaPresentedStupidly]

It wasn't just that I was excited to see Edge/Copeland in AEW But it was the excitement of seeing him with THIS version of Cage.

[@ppdadon]

Like I said if Christian isnt the number 1 heel in wrestling today then who is

[@Tchado1000]

I am so fucking impressed with Christian in this one , he almost had no mic time , but sold an entire story with just master body language , this level of talent cant be taught......this is the result of ridiculous hard work over the years and dedication to his character , RESPECT !

[@alaooooy7]

Christian Cage is really at the top of his game! Hope he gets a run as the AEW Champion soon! The definition of underrated and a pure heel! He deserves his flowers more than anyone.

[@floatingdisembodiedhead8975]

Noticed after he said "Go F Yourself" and went out the ring into the ramps. The crowd were chanting something but when he lifts the mic closer to his face, the crowd just went quiet like there's a dial somewhere that turns them off. That's honestly impressive. I always loved Christian, glad he's getting the love he deserves. So underrated

[@Hiram_Fitness]

[@alaooooy7]

Christian Cage was held back so much in his career, got treated rudely by internet fans when he signed in AEW after years where we thought he won't be able to wrestle again! So happy he's proving that he's one of the best ever in this fantastic heel run. Hope he gets a run as the AEW Champion to complete his redemption and get his flowers on the highest level possible. He truly deserves it.

[@alaooooy7]

@@Flo-ky9uz It was really disgusting how disrespectful some of the reactions were! The whole "It didn't live up to the hype" thing. Christian Cage coming back from retirement after 7 years due to injury wasn't worth hype? Some people are insane! Glad he made them all eat their words.

[@gandalf_thegrey]

[@tsocj77]

Me too. Those days when the kill switch was trending

[@Nicksuavemusic]

Respect to aew they always treat sting like a big deal and a living legend like he always should be

[@CodeBleu724]

Sting IS a big deal. He won the title from Ric Flair in June or July 1990 in Baltimore...to his days dealing with the nWo...Sting won the strap when I graduated high school. I remember it like it was yesterday.

[@coolcebolla]

​@CodeBleu724 what was watching wrestling like at that time? Shit must have been insane with guys like Sting, Ron Simmons, The Road Warriors, Midnight Express, ALL the smoothest workers ever

[@RJ-fe9pu]

We didn't appreciate it properly

[@2010theunit]

July 7th, 1990...Sting defeats Ric Flair for the NWA World Heavyweight Championship at the 1990 Great American Bash ppv. Truly epic. Little(now big) Stinger since '87.

[@CodeBleu724]

@@coolcebolla I watched NWA/WCW on Superstation WTBS in the 80s. 4 Horsemen, Road Warriors, Freebirds, Dusty, Magnum TA, Nikita Koloff, etc...then Sting arrived in 1987 and he tore the roof off of every venue he entered. Sting was that good.

[@kabiruddin434]

Glad they put the uncensored version of this segment. No doubt Christian Cage is currently the best heel in wrestling right now. Can’t wait to see how this rivalry will go down as it’s going to be epic. 🔥🔥

[@rev_kev.y2k]

What a time to be a wrestling fan. From watching since the Monday Night Wars to this, is honestly a blessing to even witness. There are wrestling fans from the generation that watched these two debut that will never get to witness these amazing segments, let alone the moments they’re about to create. Appreciate this because we’re witnessing a beautiful story book ending in the making.

[@robertpalatsky5017]

Makes you feel like you've got just a piece of an era back that we haven't seen in over 20 years

[@indydail]

Totally agree. I grew up watching wrestling the past 35 years. I’m 41 now. The Monday Night Wars era was the peak of my childhood. I remember watching these guys debut and put the tag team division and ladder match on the map. Amazing to have lived through that and now this.

[@kwanholloway4112]

I had just said that. Lol I started watching wrestling with smackdown which I didn't know at the time was technically still the attitude Era. It was great but when Eddie and Chris died I stopped watching about a year later. So everything up to now is a little confusing. This looks promising though. So many of the younger generation won't realize how great wrestling was back then lol

[@4everUndisputed]

Christian makes the TNT Championship feel like the main belt of the company. That's STAR POWER right there.

[@mypal1990]

That f you was just cinematic. Christian Cage and don callis are just heat magnets.

[@BiLLz66614]

Christian has been doing some of his best work lately. So i'm stoked Adam got involved ... They can really tell a great story here... with the fighting... then turning into a team again finally down the road.. This will be awesome.

[@Sanju_Gaming301]

This could be one of best ever storyline in AEW history 🔥🔥

[@2twenty]

I hope that TK keeps them apart for months. We don’t need to see these 2 fight for months yet. Let it build. Involve their families, let Christian dump on Adam, and repeatedly screw him over. Then, maybe Vegas next Memorial Day weekend, they finally get in the ring for the first (but not last) time. This culminated in Wembley next August.

[@kcnoise]

Is there any good one?

[@grievous5243]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Stormie33]

As a longtime E & C fan, it's surreal seeing them both in AEW now and about to have a real run together for the first time in ages. As much as I can't wait to see them team up again, Christian is just killing it right now. Would love to see the ultimate twist to their arc being that Edge turns heel and they team up again rather than Christian turning face, as most people probably expect it will go down. Either way, it's gonna be awesome.

[@alaooooy7]

Hope Christian Cage gets a run as the AEW Champion before they consider tagging. Heel Christian Cage is just too good and this man deserves his flowers!

[@FlashDaggerStudios]

The ironic thing here is that Edges kid telling him to go have fun with uncle Jay - this is EXACTLY Edge and Christian having a ridiculous amount of fun together running this programme together with the crowd in palm of their hand. This is the fun they wanted and I’m loving it 💪🍻

[@A_Trill_OG]

Facts

[@gammasmash1924]

You don't realize just how friggin huge Adam is until you see him standing face to face with one of AEW's biggest wrestlers. I met him briefly backstage at a show during the Attitude Era. Dude's a monster. A lot of wrestlers exaggerate their height, but Edge is every bit of the 6'5" he's listed at.

[@SauceGod22]

I met Edge In 2006 I was six years old and I remember being like this dude is a Giant I barely got past his knees

[@gearsofwar3xXx]

In the Edge DVD a while back, Adam shows why he's one of the most humble people in wrestling. He said on the DVD, "I always introduced myself as Adam Copeland, I never introduced myself as Edge." A true class act. By the way, Christian's real name is Jason Reso. Jason is actually his middle name but he goes by Jay. Him and Adam have known each other since they were kids, they grew up together in Canada.

[@ciontachthecthonicchampion3576]

It is so great seeing these guys after all this time still together and at the top of their games…there’s just something special seeing your childhood heroes follow you into adulthood that can’t be replicated

[@JTeam45]

Man, if you've have long time best friends, then you *know* Adam and Jay have probably sat around brainstorming a program versus one another for a long, long time. I'm really excited to see what they have probably been cooking for decades!

[@thesprock5270]

My exact thought! They get the freedom to do what they want too, it’s going to be great.

[@alphanerd7221]

They had a whole program for Edge's retirement that they never did. Christian was going to cost Edge the tittle against Del Rio in a rematch and they were going to feud all year until a retirement match at Mania where Edge would put Christian over.

[@doshi066]

this promo was lit, you can tell how much adam aka edge has inproved with his promo skills over the years, he is truly a legend and one of the best and christian is the best heel in the business, hes killing it with his current gimmick, this fued with be awesome and when they finally do reunite its gonna be such a big pop, i am glad its happening in AEW cause the fans are much louder and so much matches we never think were get we may see, i hope we get edge/christian vs the hardys one last time as well

[@robertpalatsky5017]

I loved the part about him knowing the feeling of having the knowledge sucked out of him then being betrayed- that's a reference to the Judgement Day- and perhaps even a case or two of real-life stuff. We'll never know that part if it's true cuz Adam's a true pro and would never talk shit about someone.

[@keepthebeat929]

I loved the signing when it first happened, but I'm loving Copeland in AEW even more the more I think about it. He's going to provide such a maturity on promos, in putting together matches, and in leading that locker room by example. One week and it feels like it was always where he was meant to be, and he seems to genuinely be having fun. And hell, if things work out right, maybe he, Christian Cage, and the Hardys can all call it a career at the same time and have their last match be against each other. Run it back one more time against the opponents that defined their careers.
