FTR to defend championships against returning duo at upcoming event
Summary
– Cope and Christian Cage will challenge FTR for the AEW Tag Team Titles
– The match was announced during the March 18 episode of AEW Dynamite
– AEW Dynasty is scheduled to take place on April 12
Cope and Christian Cage are officially set to challenge FTR for the AEW Tag Team Championships at AEW Dynasty on April 12.
The title match was confirmed during the March 18 episode of AEW Dynamite following a heated in-ring segment involving multiple top tag teams.
After the main event, The Young Bucks addressed the crowd and made it clear they still had their sights set on the AEW Tag Team Titles despite falling short against FTR at AEW Revolution.
Their promo was interrupted by Cope and Christian Cage, who stepped in and stated that they respected The Young Bucks but intended to be the team that takes the titles from FTR.
Tensions escalated quickly as FTR attempted to respond, but both teams turned on the champions and left them lying out in the ring.
The match marks a major return to the title picture for Cope and Christian Cage, who recently re-emerged at AEW Revolution. Their comeback followed a previous absence after events stemming from AEW All Out.
At that event, FTR attacked Cope’s wife, Beth Phoenix, in a moment that intensified the rivalry between the teams. Cope and Cage previously scored a victory over FTR, adding another layer of history heading into the championship bout.
With AEW Dynasty approaching, the tag team division now centers around a high-profile clash between two experienced teams looking to take control of the division.
