Major Adam Copeland & Christian Match May Not Happen at All In: Texas After All

AEW may be rethinking the timing of a huge tag team showdown involving Adam Copeland and Christian Cage. While the plan was once set for Cope and Christian to reunite to take on FTR at All In: Texas on July 12, things may no longer be locked in for that show.

On the Fightful Select Q&A podcast, Sean Ross Sapp was asked directly whether the match is still scheduled for the Texas pay-per-view. His answer pointed to a slowdown behind the scenes.

“It’s still a plan but I haven’t heard that it’s still the plan for All In,” Sapp said. “From what I understand, Christian wants to make sure that things with The Patriarchy are fleshed out. This has caused some slowdown on a lot of performers.”

This follows earlier comments Sapp made on The Hump, where he revealed that people in AEW hinted there were complications around turning Christian babyface and moving him away from his Patriarchy faction. According to those close to the situation, Christian has been in no rush to shift gears just yet.

“Seems like he wanted to do that for a little bit longer,” Sapp said on the show. “They had planned for Cope and Christian against FTR at All In.”

Dave Meltzer also weighed in recently on Wrestling Observer Radio, noting that Adam Copeland isn’t expected back until July and will miss the next pay-per-view entirely.

“I don’t expect him back until July. So he will miss the next pay-per-view. I think he’ll be out for a while,” Meltzer said.

AEW appears to be playing the long game with this potential reunion—allowing Christian to continue his work as the Patriarch while keeping Copeland’s return timeline flexible.
