Copeland and Christian Reunite to Challenge FTR for AEW Tag Titles at Dynasty

The reunion showcases a new presentation that preserves Christian's current persona.

Overview

  • The longtime partners challenge FTR for the AEW Tag Team Championship on Sunday at AEW Dynasty in Vancouver, airing on HBO Max and Amazon Prime.
  • Copeland says their act is not a greatest-hits return, stressing that Christian keeps the character traits that made him popular in AEW.
  • Copeland’s path back to this spot began with a 2011 retirement for neck injuries, a 2020 in-ring return, and a 2023 move to AEW.
  • His acting work is expanding his audience, with many kids now recognizing him as Ares from Disney+'s Percy Jackson rather than from wrestling.
  • Copeland said his wife Beth Phoenix is unlikely to appear at the event because she will be in Portugal and focused on projects outside wrestling.
