AEW’s Adam Copeland has held the TNT Championship twice in the corporate, but at Double or Nothing, he won perhaps an excellent more meaningful title, the AEW World Tag Team Championships alongside his real-life best friend, Christian Cage. The pair broke into the mainstream skilled wrestling industry together within the then-WWF in 1998, and even after forced medical retirements for the each of them, they’re still going strong in 2026. Copeland recently appeared on “SHAK Wrestling” and spoke about what he’s hoping for during this last tag run with Cage.
“I believe greater than anything it’s, ‘Hey, let’s give this a try again and have some fun,'” Copeland said. “It’s only a likelihood to revisit something that basically worked well. And why not try to revisit it while we still can? Because, you recognize, that window’s closing. I believe it’s just been fun to find latest things with this, because even during promos or pre-tapes or anything, the opposite doesn’t really know what other’s going to do, and I believe that keeps us on our toes.”
Copeland said they’ve natural chemistry from being friends their entire lives, which is something you possibly can’t fabricate. He explained that while they do not know what the opposite goes to do on the microphone, within the ring, they’re at all times in sync. Even after so a few years, with this run, they’re trying latest things of their matches.
“I believe in our first match, we hit a pop-up spear finisher. We might never done it before,” he explained. “We said, ‘Ah, let’s give it a try’ because the finish of our match, first time teaming again in, I believe it was like 15 years.”
