Adam Copeland just raised the stakes in a huge way, issuing a challenge that could end his tag team run for good.
During a backstage promo on the April 22 episode of AEW Dynamite, Copeland directly called out FTR and made it clear that he and Christian Cage want another shot at the AEW World Tag Team Championships. But this wasn’t just a standard title challenge — Copeland added a major stipulation that immediately changed the stakes.
While addressing FTR, Copeland laid out the kind of match he wants and made it clear they aren’t looking for a traditional bout. Adam Copeland proposed that he and Christian face FTR in a New York Street Fight at AEW Double Or Nothing. Adam Copeland stated that if he and Christian lose to FTR at Double Or Nothing, they will retire as a tag team.
That stipulation instantly turns the potential match into one of the highest-stakes tag team bouts possible, especially considering the long history between Copeland, Christian, and FTR.
FTR has yet to respond to the challenge, but the pressure is now firmly on them to decide whether they’ll accept the terms. With Double Or Nothing approaching, this could quickly become one of the most talked-about matches on the card if it’s made official.
Do you think FTR should accept Copeland and Christian’s challenge, or would it be smarter for them to avoid a match with that kind of career-ending stipulation?
