He found his next target.

[–]Few-Establishment277 48 points49 points  (1 child)

Edge has stated publicly many times how important his mother was to him and to his wrestling career… Would Christian dare? The heat would be unreal

[–]CoherentPanda 36 points37 points  (0 children)

They are childhood friends, no doubt Edge would let him go as far as he wants, because he can trust Christian more than anyone else in the locker room.

[–]BauermeisterArms Too Short to Box With God 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Wikipedia confirmed it!

If I ever have a kid I will be disappointed in them if Christian Cage's music isn't played at my funeral.

[–]TruiArts 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This Christian Cage LTG edit hits two funny spots in my mind

[–]Hardtopickaname 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking the opposite.

Edge was raised by a single mom and never knew his dad, so he's immune to Christian's chief weapon.

Christian the biggest piece of shit in wrestling and I love it.

[–]Ayjel89 135 points136 points  (2 children)

Honestly needed a replacement for MJF in that department, since he turned face.

[–]bohanmyl 75 points76 points  (1 child)

Christian started this whole gimmick 2 weeks after MJF disappeared from TV with his Fire me TK promo. Literally in the same run Christian has replaced top heel MJF twice when they needed him most and its been glorious

[–]Taipei_streetroaming 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Exactly, he replaced MJF and did the edgy thing better than him when he was still a heel.

[–]Douglas_Michael 271 points272 points  (3 children)

This is, by far, the best work of his career

[–]thebrownwire 35 points36 points  (2 children)

I've always been very lukewarm yo Christian but I absolutely love this.

[–]infidelkastro 50 points51 points  (1 child)

He plays a Heel much better than a Face. Face Cage is pretty generic, imo. Heel Cage, like the Dantes Inferno of being a Heel. So many layers.

[–]montrealcowboyxThe Cream Rises 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He was blessed with the most slappable smirk in all of wrestling.

[–]BauermeisterArms Too Short to Box With God 61 points62 points  (3 children)

You seem to be confused. Christian Cage is the TMT Champion now and forever. Adam Copeland came running to try and ride Christian’s coattails to superstardom! Cope and seethe, Adam 3. Cope and seethe in this Christian land.

[–]Macho-nurin 55 points56 points  (1 child)

If he joined the Callis family the world would implode from the heat.

[–]geekstone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I want to see him lose Wayne to the Callis family, as that should be the catalyst for him and Edge to team up for an eventual Blood and Guts with the Callis family vs Team Canada.

[–]salaryman40k 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it's beautiful because christian is the biggest crap jerk right now, and edge was the biggest crap jerk when i stopped watching wrestling eons ago.

now we got both of them together again and they're about to do some mighty fine work.

Nick immediately gaining douchebag sartorial powers now that he's Christian's young boy is so fuckin great

I was pretty impressed with his douchebag facial expressions tonight tbh

[–]MeltyFist 20 points21 points  (0 children)

That’s just his face

[–]IntoAMuteCrypt 54 points55 points  (0 children)

That's a large part of why AEW hires guys like Christian. And Sting. And Don Callis. And Billy Gunn. And...

It's the formula. Take an old legend of the business who is great at the promo and presentation side, pair them with a young guy who needs to work on that, profit.

[–]WhoiusBarrel 768 points769 points  (21 children)

Copeland making a reference to Judgement Day in regards to Luchasaurus and Nick Wayne was hella fucking cool.

Jeez Christian that delivery was fucking COLD.

[–]Lower_Monk6577 158 points159 points  (0 children)

Didn’t even catch that. Super excited to see where this goes.

[–]Martindale28 74 points75 points  (11 children)

What was the reference? I didn’t catch it.

[–]HighwayZi 270 points271 points  (10 children)

He said Luchasaurus and Nick Wayne will drop Christian when they sucked all the info out of his brain. ie: like what Judgement Day did to Edge.

[–]ab316_1punchdCowboy Shit Supremacy 101 points102 points  (8 children)

(In my kayfabin mode) Bro thought he was Ministry Taker, I'm sure Christian Cage would've done a better job managing funny Goth people.

[–]2RINITYI'm so bad I should be in detention 140 points141 points  (7 children)

If Dom had betrayed Christian, Christian would kill Rey just so he could make dead father jokes

[–]ab316_1punchdCowboy Shit Supremacy 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I do find an interesting parallel between Taker and Paul Bearer with Edge and Christian.

Taker loved spooky satanic theatrics and led the Ministry with a creepier theme song, Edge did too (plus Brood + Slayer for obvious reasons) and led Judgment Day (albeit less successfully) with a creepier Alter Bridge song.

While Paul Bearer was Taker's father figure who berated his dead father after the heel turn while having banged his mom (hence, Kane) and got a disturbed kid like Mankind under his wings. You know who else is doing all of that (except, probably bang moms)?

And Edge and Christian were in the Ministry, go figure.

[–]run_bike_run 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Christian would be to Judgment Day what Mr Brodie Lee was to the Dark Order.

[–]geekstone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Or just say Reyay be your dad but Eddie was more your father, and your father is dead.

[–]Scavgraphics 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Dom: I said dead BEAT dad.

Christian: Close enough.

[–]KingMobScene 2 points3 points  (2 children)

He doesn't need to kill dom's adoptive father. Eddie is gone.

[–]2RINITYI'm so bad I should be in detention 1 point2 points  (1 child)

But if he kills Rey, he can say Dom has two dead fathers

[–]Taipei_streetroaming 4 points5 points  (0 children)

im not the biggest fan of AEW but Christian is a top 3 entertainer in the business right now. this is like TNA Christian on steroids. so good.

[–]PM_ME_YOUR_INNY 7 points8 points  (2 children)

What was the reference to JD, missed thst

[–]KingBadfordGive Eddie the strap 13 points14 points  (1 child)

Edge said to take it from him because he knew from experience, Luchasaurus and Nick Wayne would drop Christian as soon as they had sucked all the knowledge they needed from his head.

[–]PM_ME_YOUR_INNY 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahhhh , yup def a JD reference - “noice”

[–]Bloodstone95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Long term storytelling at its finest and eventually we’ll get the inevitable Edge and Christian reunion when he’ll slowly join forces with him again. Once Christian does get turned on eventually.

These two signs being in the same camera shot frame though during Christian’s entrance was perfect.

[–]ieatbigmacsdaily 105 points106 points  (2 children)

Actual conversation between wife and I when this shit came up:

  • Is that supposed to be sarcastic or what's the deal?
  • Completely sarcastic. His gimmick has become making fun of people's dead father's.
  • Oh. That's actually kind of funny.

[–]mikro17 61 points62 points  (1 child)

His gimmick has become making fun of people's dead father's while hitting on their widowed mothers.

Don't forget the other half of the gimmick lol

[–]BauermeisterArms Too Short to Box With God 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That’s not a gimmick that’s a shoot brother

And Christian’s gonna be shootin’ all night long if you know what I mean

[–]LordHakaishinBeerus 263 points264 points  (8 children)

If Christian is not in the top 5 for WON Wrestler of the year, it will be a great injustice.

[–]kporter4692 91 points92 points  (4 children)

When TK hyped up how important this signing was everyone was underwhelmed, but long term it has been one of his best ever.

[–]mysteriousbaba 8 points9 points  (1 child)

Not everyone was underwhelmed, there were a fair number of us Redditors pushing back.

[–]YamiSilaas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same with Jeff Jarrett. Some of us actually have taste.

People out here saying Wardlow should have been AEW champ while killers like these are on the loose. Shameful.

[–]ZapTheBugs 44 points45 points  (2 children)

I don't think many people would bat an eye if the title on his shoulder was the world title. Not that it SHOULD be, but that's the base level performance he's putting in this year.

Ever since he put on the turtle neck, he's almost never had a bad show.

[–]run_bike_run 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This version of Christian screwing face MJF out of the title would generate enough heat to power a city.

[–]DetonationMade in Detroit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I want him to win it before he retires, please TK I beg of you.

[–]ObachanYou are not him 65 points66 points  (1 child)

Idk why but when he said the part Christian idolizing Sting I pictured Christian with current Sting’s hair lol

[–]bloodylip 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Yeah you heard me. Shave the hair line back and thin it out. Then make me look like a mad scientist"

[–]TheKrausHouse 65 points66 points  (2 children)

Christian being on an amazing singles title run, after essentially being in Edge’s shadow their whole careers, makes the timing of this just so perfect.

[–]geekstone 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They had to have a pretty strong indicator that this was coming but they did a good job keeping it a secret

[–]benfh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think that's why this feels so perfect, even down to Edges motivation, he's there to "have fun" and have a send off run with Christian... this comes at a time when Christian's finally cementing his own legacy as an all time great.

[–]rbarton812Ross is War 103 points104 points  (1 child)

It was censored on my station, though it was clear as day what he said.

[–]CoherentPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fite.tv cut it out of the recording, I don't know if they messed up the cutoff time or it was on purpose to censor it. Doesn't matter though because the Youtube clip will get millions of views.

[–]MrApocFunk 164 points165 points  (9 children)

said it main post show thread but might as well do it here too.

Christians facial expressions during Adams promo were so good. Really made it look like Adam was getting through to him for a minute there. And then Christian realized it and had to cut it short the only way he knew he could.

He took the mic from him AND bailed out of the ring so he couldn't say anything else to him to convince him further.

Buckle in everyone. theres gonna be layers to this story and its gonna be a fun one lol.

[–]frankthetank8675309 34 points35 points  (0 children)

100%, Christian and Adam put on a clinic with that segment. You could definitely tell Adam was breaking through and he went right for the throat of nostalgia, and you could tell it hit Christian hard. It felt like the Mox/Eddie promo from when Eddie was chasing the world title.

[–]Goatlikejordan 38 points39 points  (2 children)

Christian doesn't wanna share the spotlight with some has been that he teamed up with 10+ years ago.

[–]Thirdstar1 3 points4 points  (1 child)

20+ years ago. Pretty sure it might even be closer to 25.

[–]DavidL1112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he started teaming with him 20+ years years ago, but last time they teamed was 13 years ago.

[–]L15102M3 34 points35 points  (1 child)

Christian is rightfully pissed. For how many years he had been casted aside making space for edge while he struggled to get tv time and now when he finally is having the best run of his career, edge shows up to take his spotlight. The potential for this feud is amazing

[–]nihontiger 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This. This makes it all make sense.

[–]TheFellaWithTheHead 238 points239 points  (21 children)

Christian is the best heel in wrestling and frankly it’s not even close. You can tell he just loves playing this character.

[–]AlarmedDish5836 86 points87 points  (20 children)

I agree, people will say dom but he’s just a dick. Good heels are dicks, the best heels are evil.

Christian is evil 👿

[–]BauermeisterArms Too Short to Box With God 133 points134 points  (8 children)

Christian isn’t evil, he’s a father to lost boys. Stop smearing a proper role model in your woke misandrist agenda!

[–]AlarmedDish5836 52 points53 points  (4 children)

He stole a dinosaur from a jungle and nicked a Wayne from a single mom

[–]MastaBusta 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If only Dom had a father like Christian

[–]mikro17 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Also things aren't built around Dom like they are Christian.

Dom is in a faction with multiple members who are in equal or more high profile spots than he is, whereas Christian is the centerpiece of this entire thing. The rest of Christian's faction is a largely mute dinosaur and a literal 18 year old who debuted for the company less than three months ago. Dom is being asked to do significantly less and that matters when discussing things like "best" IMO, role matters.

[–]Low_Ad_7553 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When was the last time Dom dropped heat on the mic or carried feuds like Christian has? I won't try to change anyone's opinion because that's weird but imo it's not even close. Even the simple things like Christian smirking at the kids of Inoki being at Wrestle Dream just takes him to another level.

Props to dom though for even being in the discussion this early in his career.

[–]times_zero 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I thought the explanation/motivation was great. It tied into their shared history/background, and there's something pretty wholesome about Copeland still being a little Stinger at heart.

It warms my heart how much respect and love Christian is getting for being the biggest piece of shit in the universe. Sometimes when I meet strangers I just scream I LOVE WRESTLING and don't make new friends.

[–]Upbeat_Tension_8077 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If there's any way heel Adam can work in AEW today, I can see an E&C reunion team tying with Christian's character eventually beefing with all the tag teams on some "we fathered you mfs" attitude.

But I see this team having the run the Hardys were supposed to have in 2022.

Oh an extra note: it would be neat for Adam to maybe even have a solo character as a seasoned OG maintaining some uneasy order amongst other "Rated-R"-esque snakes like Jay White & Swerve (throw in MJF as well) as they vy for power.

[–]BruiserweightYxB 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Loved the promo.

[–]dondonna258 19 points20 points  (6 children)

I’m imagining child Christian in a turtleneck at the barbers shop with the balding, greying hair of current Sting and it’s a great visual.

Great fucking promo from Adam Copeland tho. A lot of fire, succinct, he fits right in. Christian and the TNT title are Instantly elevated from what was already lofty heights with his current run. Nice response from Christian as well.

This should be a hell of a feud. I like Luchasaurus but I think the right path here is a conchairto to him from Adam Copeland to write him off a bit. The visual of a luchadore dinosaur is a bit jarring when it’s a high stakes feud like this. Nick Wayne fits in well enough and will be a decent whipping boy.

[–]Maya-Inca-Boy 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Don’t know how this is getting upvoted luchasaurus has been the perfect heavy.

[–]Snoo-40231 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AEW Christian will beat up TNA Christian in a fight while fathering WWE Christian

[–]wrinkledballs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know why, but the fact Adam referenced Uncle Jay in his promo as Christians' real name makes me think that eventually, when they do retire together, it'll be under their real names.

They went in as Adam and Jay - they'll go out as Adam and Jay. They can lean into having to use Adam Copeland more as a device to get through to Christian. "I come to you as Adam, the guy you grew up with...etc."

Christian could go down the road of "I always had more success when you weren't around now your here stealing my spotlight."

Cheap pop would be Christian having the opportunity to pin Adam for the TNT title after a brutal cheap shot but not taking it. He doesn't want to beat his friend this way.

Mutual respect is shown in the match and it continues. Adam and Christian either send their minions away to do this one-on-one properly, fairly. Or Christian beats down Luchasaurus and Wayne to get them away from Adam.

Christian wins cleanly gets some vindication and a reconciliation between the two. They both wanted a fair fight. This way from a story perspective, it's resolved, but Christian keeps the title. Adam wanted his friend back, the guy he grew up with and he got it. It's worth more than a title to him. Dropping to Adam makes no sense, it'd make Christian seem like second fiddle again.

[–]Tinheart2137 2 points3 points  (0 children)

[–]HipsterWhistle -1 points0 points  (1 child)

I really liked Edge looking directly at the camera when he said “I thin the world title would look really good around my waist,” I feel like that was a not so subtle jab at WWE for wanting him to be a part time spectacle.

A lot of reports came out a while ago saying Edge didn’t want a title run in WWE after his return

That was simply amazing.

Edge is just amazing, and fucking almost bought me to tears with heartfelt cry to get E and C back together one last time.

Then Christian just absolutely owning it again as he has been doing for a long time now.

Man i'm just happy this is all happening. Us fans are lucky right now.

It's always good when a heel kinda has a point but they're being a complete dick about it and that's what we're seeing here

Yeah, I'm glad Christian shut down Edge's douchebag attempt to leech off of him again.

Ok relax 😂 I'm on about Christian being overshadowed by edge not edge leeching 😂

Adam Copeland: “I felt like it” Tony Schiavone: “alright back to you guys in the booth I guess”

You know, with everything that Edge has said thus far (wanting to give back to the business, wanting to help out and elevate younger talent, respecting Sting), I can't help but think to myself "hold up, this is still Edge, one of the biggest dickheads (character wise of course) in wrestling history, it feels like a ruse".

On top of that, most of what Edge is saying has benefits echo'd by Christian Cage in a mocking tone right after he turned heel: "You think I came back to help elevate younger talent? No, that's bullshit. I came back to make a ton of money, and that's the only reason.". And he wants to team with Christian. I feel like that could happen, but I guess if Edge joins Christian more than in the event of a face turn.

Or maybe I just got PTSD from Christian working me.
