Adam Copeland & Christian Cage Team Again as CNC is Set to Face FTR at AEW All Out
AEW has confirmed tonight on Dynamite, a blockbuster tag team clash for All Out on September 20th: Adam Copeland and Christian Cage, now officially calling themselves “CNC” (the name the internet wrestling community gave them long ago,) will face FTR in what’s shaping up to be a generational showdown.
Fans witnessed history at Forbidden Door, when Copeland and Cage reunited as a tag team for the first time in over a decade. That victory wasn’t a one-night-only nostalgia act — it was the spark of something more. Now, just weeks later, the Hall of Fame-caliber duo is stepping back into the ring together, signaling that their reunion is becoming a true ongoing partnership.
But this time, the stakes are higher. Across the ring will be FTR — widely considered one of the greatest tag teams of this era. Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler are coming into All Out after a heartbreaking loss at Forbidden Door, and for them, this match isn’t just about pride. It’s about redemption. Defeating legends like Copeland and Cage could be the reset button they desperately need.
CNC, however, brings something intangible — legacy, chemistry, and decades of history together. Their new branding gives the AEW tag team division a fresh wrinkle, one that feels both nostalgic and dangerous at the same time. While FTR has carved their names as modern-day tag team kings, CNC’s second outing promises to test just how sharp both tandems truly are under the brightest spotlight.

The announcement cements Copeland and Cage as a serious, ongoing presence in AEW’s tag team division — not just a reunion for old times’ sake. FTR vs. CNC feels like a collision between wrestling’s past and present, with bragging rights and momentum on the line. If CNC can keep building momentum, it won’t be long before championship gold enters the conversation.
