Jay White returns to AEW in Cope & Cage's first tag team title defense in over 25 years

Adam Copeland and Christian Cage put their AEW world tag team championship on the line tonight (June 28) at Forbidden Door against The Dog’s David Finlay and Clark Connors. This was Cope and Cage’s first tag team title defense together since 2001, during their seventh reign as WWF Tag Team Champions Edge & Christian. The 52-year-old champs walked into the match banged up, courtesy of being old men recent attacks by The Dogs. The heels continued their spree of violence by trying to burn Christian’s face when the referee’s back was turned. GRUESOME attack to the face of @Christian4Peeps and the referee didn't see it!
