Adam Copeland and Christian Cage were victorious in their heated grudge match against FTR at the AEW All Out pay-per-view in their hometown of Toronto, but their celebration was violently cut short by a shocking post-match attack on Copeland’s wife, Beth Copeland, by The Matriarchy. The opening match of the main card was an emotional and hard-fought battle that saw the legendary tag team reunite in the ring, but the night ended in a dark and deeply personal turn of events.
The match began after some notable pre-match moments, including Bryan Danielson making his entrance to join the commentary team full-time and a backstage segment where Copeland and Cage encountered the “Trailer Park Boys” character, Bubbles. The Toronto crowd was firmly behind the hometown team, even chanting “He’s our asshole” for the heelish Christian Cage. The bout was a back-and-forth affair, with FTR focusing their attack on Dax Harwood’s recently broken nose. Late in the match, FTR’s manager, Stokely Hathaway, interfered by pulling the referee out of the ring. This brought out Beth Copeland, who speared Hathaway and neutralized the threat, allowing her husband and Cage to secure the pinfall victory after a Spear from Copeland.
As the reunited duo celebrated their win, they were ambushed by The Matriarchy. Shayna Wayne, Kip Sabian, and Killswitch hit the ring and viciously attacked Beth Copeland. The horrifying segment concluded with the group holding Beth down and allowing Nick Wayne’s father to deliver a brutal piledriver to her in the center of the ring, leaving her motionless as the show continued.
