AEW Christian Cage has commented on WWE Hall of Famer Edge (Adam Copeland) joining AEW, following the closing moments of AEW WrestleDream.
In the main event of the October 1 pay-per-view, Christian Cage defeated Darby Allin in a 2/3 falls match to retain his TNT Championship, after Nick Wayne turned on Allin.
Cage, Wayne and Luchasaurus continued to attack Allin and Sting after the bout, before the Rated-R Superstar made his rumored AEW debut.
After initially appearing to side with Cage, ‘Adam Copeland’ ultimately attacked Wayne and Luchasaurus before Cage escaped with his title.
During the post-show media scrum, Christian Cage was asked for his thoughts about his old friend showing up.
Cage responded:
“I said this at the last scrum, I don’t have any friends other than Luchasaurus. Was I surprised to see him? Yes. Did I care? Not really, it doesn’t change anything for me.
“I’m still the face of TNT, I’m still the TNT Champion, I’m still the man to beat in AEW. You understand that, right?”

Cage went on to argue that he has made the TNT Championship more prestigious than MJF’s AEW World Championship:
“A few short months ago, people were saying this title meant nothing. I’ve taken it and main evented WrestleDream tonight. I made this title.
“This title, in my opinion, is more prestigious than the world title, mainly because I carry it. But I think my track record speaks for itself, and I think you have to give me my flowers now, do you not?”
