AEW TNT Champion Christian Cage is in for a world of hurt when he next faces Adam Copeland if the Rated-R Star is to be believed.

Since arriving in AEW at WrestleDream, the WWE Hall of Famer has feuded with his former friend. At AEW Worlds End, Cage captured the TNT Championship from Cage, his first title victory since 2011. Unfortunately for Copeland, his reign was short-lived as Killswitch would attack him from behind and gift his guaranteed TNT title shot to Cage who promptly won the gold back.

On the March 6, episode of AEW Dynamite, Copeland ambushed Cage and challenged him to an I-Quit natch for the TNT Championship for the March 20, episode. The choice of date is no coincidence, as the show will take place in Toronto, Canada.

On the March 9, edition of AEW Collision, Copeland once again got the better of Cage and the Patriarchy. He also teased having a surprise for Cage when they next face for the TNT Championship. Taking to Twitter, Copeland continued to tease having something special for his former friend.



Hopefully, Copeland's surprise will help nullify the numbers advantage that the Patriarchy gives the reigning AEW TNT Champion. In addition to Killswitch, Cage has Nick Wayne at his beck and call, as well as Mama Wayne. Copeland has some allies of his own in AEW, including Darby Allin and FTR.
