This past Sunday night at the 2026 AEW Double or Nothing pay-per-view, Christian Cage and "The Rated R Superstar" Adam Copeland, collectively known as Cage & Cope, captured the AEW World Tag Team Titles by defeating FTR—comprised of Cash Wheeler and Dax "The Axe" Harwood—in an "I Quit" Match. The stakes were high, as a loss would have forced both Cage and Copeland into retirement due to the match stipulation.
On the latest edition of Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer discussed the aftermath of Double or Nothing and revealed several possible directions for the tag team division. One idea being considered for All In 2026 involves a three-way match for the titles featuring FTR, The Young Bucks, and the current champions, Cage & Cope. Meltzer emphasized that AEW made a wise choice by awarding the championships to Cage and Copeland ahead of the company’s biggest event of the year.
There is ongoing speculation about the possibility of all three teams competing in a match reminiscent of the iconic TLC bout from WWE WrestleMania X-Seven. That match featured Edge and Christian, The Hardy Boyz, and The Dudley Boyz, and is regarded as one of WWE’s most memorable tag team encounters.
