Adam Copeland and Christian Cage Capture AEW World Tag Team Championship at Double or Nothing 2026

On May 25, 2026, at AEW Double or Nothing held in the Louis Armstrong Stadium in Queens, New York, Adam Copeland and Christian Cage defeated the reigning champions FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) in an "I Quit" New York Street Fight. The match carried a career‑ending stipulation: a loss would have forced Copeland and Cage to retire as a tag team. After a brutal contest involving barbed wire, ladders, chairs and a flaming table, the duo secured victory when Beth Copeland handed Copeland a spiked board that was used to force Harwood to say "I quit," awarding Copeland and Cage their first AEW World Tag Team titles.

The win marked the first AEW tag title reign for both wrestlers, adding to their previous seven WWE tag team championships together. The encounter was a rubber match after previous losses at All Out and Dynasty, and featured interference from Stokely Hathaway, who was neutralized by Beth Copeland. Post‑match, FTR handcuffed Copeland to the ropes and struck further attacks, setting up future storyline repercussions.
