Adam Copeland has praised AEW’s tag team division and teased the addition of a couple of former WWE stars.
Copeland, while talking to “Westwood One Sports Night,” spoke enthusiastically about teaming up with Christian Cage once more and in addition praised AEW’s tag team division. He hinted on the arrival of two recently released WWE tag teams, The Latest Day and Motor City Machine Guns, stating that their addition would further bolster the division.
“While you take a look at this tag team division, to me, there is no query it’s one of the best tag team division on the earth. You only take a look at the entire possible matches, and it’s identical to, man, it truly is like a murderer’s row of tag teams. After which when you were to throw in teams just like the Latest Day and Motor City Machine Guns on top of that, like, come on,” he said.
He compared the AEW tag team division to the late 80s and early 90s, when tag team wrestling was booming, arguing that AEW’s tag teams are nearly as good as that era. Copeland even named a couple of other tag teams that he considers elite, despite them not teaming together fairly often.
“I hearken it back — different era, do not get me flawed, and folks will say what they wish to say — but when it comes to tag teams and searching at like just, okay, that is a roster of tag teams. You think that back to love Demolition, Rockers, Hart Foundation, British Bulldogs, Brain Busters, like so many great tag teams then, right? And that to me was type of just like the golden era of tag teams,” he added. “But you take a look at this roster and like you may get like two handfuls of really great teams, let alone teams that do not necessarily at all times team, like, you realize, the Hurt Syndicate or Jet Speed, and also you chuck those into the combo too, and it’s like, come on, it’s awesome.”
It seems almost certain that The Latest Day will join AEW, with the likes of MJF, Swerve Strickland, and Bobby Lashley praising Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods while teasing their debut within the promotion.
