FTR’s restraining order against Adam Copeland was lifted last week when Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler attacked him in order to protect their manager Stokely Hathaway. Just when it looked like Cope was about to become one of Stokely’s hoes via a spike piledriver, Christian Cage ran down to the ring with Adam’s signature weapon “SPIKE” to save his former friend and run off the heels. Copeland returned the favor by spearing the former Patriarchy members before they could attack Christian from behind. Copeland hugged Christian afterwards, and he was receptive to it. A short while later, it was revealed that fka Edge & Christian will reunite at Forbidden Door when they team up against Nick Wayne and Kip Sabian.

Tony Schiavone will interview Cope & Cage tonight on Dynamite, so we’ll hear what they both have to say about finally reuniting in AEW. Christian has been a giant asshole for the last several years and was hell-bent on crippling Copeland at one point, so things are still a little awkward between them right now as they try to adjust to being allies again. The legendary Hiroshi Tanahashi’s retirement tour makes its way to AEW tonight when he joins up with JetSpeed in a trios match against the Death Riders (Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Wheeler Yuta). This bout is here to whet the appetite for Forbidden Door’s main event Lights Out Steel Cage match, which features half of these men (sorry, Wheeler and JetSpeed) as well as Darby Allin, Will Ospreay, Kenny Omega, Kota Ibushi, the Young Bucks, and Gabe Kidd.
