SouthernWorldwide.com – In a monumental moment for professional wrestling, Adam Copeland and Christian Cage have recaptured tag team championship gold, ending a 25-year drought by defeating Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler for the AEW Tag Team Championship at the highly anticipated Double or Nothing event.
The electrifying encounter on Sunday was a brutal affair, showcasing the intensity and desperation of all four competitors. The match was a chaotic spectacle, featuring the use of ladders, various tools, and even a flaming table, pushing the limits of physical endurance.
As the contest escalated in brutality, none of the wrestlers were initially willing to concede. Christian Cage endured multiple arm smashings, while Cash Wheeler narrowly avoided having a portion of his nose severed. The barbed wire used in the match left visible marks on the skin of each participant, underscoring the extreme nature of the bout.
Stokely Hathaway, a prominent figure associated with FTR, attempted to intervene in the match. However, in a surprising turn of events, Beth Copeland, formerly known as Beth Phoenix, made a dramatic appearance to equalize the situation. Unfortunately, she was neutralized before she could exert a significant influence on the match’s outcome.

Dax Harwood then took matters into his own hands, setting up a table and dousing it with lighter fluid. As he ignited the table, Cash Wheeler prepared to drive Beth Copeland through the flames. In a last-second twist, Hathaway was pulled in front of Wheeler, becoming the one speared through the burning table instead.
Seizing the opportunity presented by the chaos, Adam Copeland and Christian Cage immediately focused their assault on Harwood. They expertly applied a series of submission holds, contorting him into a “pretzel.” Beth Copeland then re-emerged, providing her husband with a spiked bat, which he used to further inflict punishment on a beleaguered Harwood.
Under immense pressure and pain, Dax Harwood uttered the dreaded words, “I quit,” signaling the end of the match and handing the AEW Tag Team Championship titles to Copeland and Cage.
Adam Copeland and Christian Cage are widely recognized as a legendary tag team, having previously held tag team championships a remarkable seven times during their tenure in WWE. Despite their individual successes in AEW, neither had managed to secure championship gold since joining the promotion. Now, over a quarter of a century later, they have once again reached the pinnacle of the tag team division.
Their last reign as tag team champions concluded in April 2001. They captured the titles at WrestleMania X-7 in a memorable Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match. However, their reign was short-lived, as they lost the championships to the formidable team of Kane and The Undertaker just 16 days later.
