TNT Championship (No DQ Match)
Christian Cage (C) vs. Adam Copeland

Now the video package airs to tell the story leading up to our next match of the evening, which features the TNT Championship on-the-line, as reigning title-holder Christian Cage puts his title on-the-line against longtime former friend turned bitter rival Adam Copeland in a No Disqualification match.

After the package wraps up, we return inside Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum where we hear the familiar sounds of Adam Copeland’s theme music. Out comes “The Rated-R Superstar” to a mega reaction from the Long Island crowd. He makes his way out and heads to the ring as fireworks and pyro erupts.

The commentators point out that Copeland is wearing the same ring gear that he wore during his infamous hardcore match against Mick Foley in the past from WrestleMania. He settles in the ring to a sustained roar and poses to the crowd on the ropes in the corner. His music dies down and the theme for his opponent plays.

On that note, out comes the reigning and defending TNT Champion Christian Cage accompanied by Nick Wayne and Shayna Wayne. He makes his way down to the ring to a ton of boos, but he doesn’t get half way down the entrance ramp before Copeland exits the ring and sprints up after him to get things started early. The bell sounds and they brawl on the entrance ramp.

Copeland beats Cage down as they walk throughout the crowd. He gets him down and climbs up to the top of a balcony as the crowd goes wild. He leaps off and splashes onto the TNT Champion way down below. He continues beating Cage down with a cane in the crowd. Copeland even yells at Nigel McGuiness to shut up on commentary. The fans chant “You still got it!”

After some interference from his “Family,” Cage takes over. Cage goes to work on the long injured neck of Copeland, who also has a badly busted open and swollen eye. Cage uses a cane to smash down on the injured neck of Copeland and then slaps him in a Sharpshooter while he’s got a steel chair leaning down over his back for added leverage. Copeland fights back and takes over but Cage frees himself in the ropes.

“The Rated-R Superstar” grabs a ladder and wedges it into the ropes in the corner as the fans loudly chant “TLC! TLC!” He sends Cage first into the ladder wedged into the ropes. Cage catches Copeland charging at him with a low blow with a cane, which allows him to shift the offensive momentum back into his favor. The two climb up a ladder. Cage hits a sunset flip power bomb to bring Copeland down the hard way.

Christian and Nick Wayne set up a table outside of the ring at the bottom of the entrance ramp. As Cage hops on the apron, Copeland recovers and fans chant “We Want Fire!” hoping to see a spot that matches Copeland’s special ring gear tonight from “The Rated-R Superstar’s” past. Cage avoids a spear attempt from Copeland through the ropes, but Copeland still hits an impaler DDT on a chair on Cage.

Fans break out into a loud “This is Awesome!” chant as Copeland looks to blast Cage with a con-chair-to. Nick Wayne hops on the apron to provide a distraction, which allows Cage to blast Copeland with a low blow. He rolls him up and goes for the cover, but Copeland kicks out at the count of two. A table is set up long ways leaning in the corner. Cage goes to Spear Copeland through it but Copeland avoids it and Spears Cage through it instead.

When we see Copeland go for the win, Shayna Wayne gets involved. Nick Wayne also bashes Copeland with a TNT title shot. He hits a Wayne’s World off the buckles onto Copeland on the floor. He puts Copeland back into the ring. He stands up and he and Cage bump into each other back-to-back, where Cage immediately hits a Killswitch and goes for the cover, only for Copeland to once again kick out at two.

Cage and Wayne light the table on fire at ringside as fans chant “Holy sh*t! Holy sh*t!” Cage rolls back into the ring and picks up a lifeless Copeland, who fights back and decks Cage. He knocks Nick down and starts pouring more gas on the fire, which ends up going out. The fans chant “You sick f*ck!” He lights it and then Nick Wayne gets put through it in front of his mom. Christian Cage tries a cheap shot with the belt upon Copeland getting back in the ring, but Copeland hits a low blow and then hits Cage with his own Killswitch finisher for the win.

Winner and NEW TNT Champion: Adam Copeland

After the match, Killswitch (Luchasaurus) appears behind Copeland and attacks him as the crowd boos. He has his TNT title contract after winning the battle royal earlier tonight. He teases cashing it in now. Cage tells him to give it to him so he can use it instead.

Killswitch looks defeated and hands the contract over to Cage, who signs it and hands it to the ref to cash it in right now. The bell rings again and Cage charges at Copeland and hits him with his own Spear finisher. He covers him and wins back the TNT title.

Christian Cage Responds To Adam Copeland’s No DQ Challenge For Worlds End 2023

Now we return inside the arena where we hear the familiar sounds of the entrance theme music of the reigning TNT Champion Christian Cage. Out he comes with Nick Wayne to make his response to the No DQ title match challenge issued to him by his former longtime friend turned rival Adam Copeland.

Cage starts off by telling San Antonio to sit down, shut up and let him handle his business. He brings up Nick’s mom smashing Copeland in the head with his TNT Championship when they met in Montreal. He says he could explain it, but why should he when she can do it herself. He introduces Nick’s mom and out comes Shayna Wayne.

She takes exception to the boos from the fans. She asks how they could boo a mother. She bring up having to watch Copeland smash a steel chair into her sons head. She says after that, she can’t understand why anyone would question her actions in Montreal. She praises “The Patriarch” Christian Cage for his role in Nick’s life.

Cage goes on to brag about Montreal being great for him and bad for Copeland. He says he not only scored a win but he scored in other ways that night, while looking at Shayna. He then accepts Copeland’s challenge for AEW Worlds End, but tells him he is no challenge. He claims he’s levels above him and everyone else in the business.

At Worlds End, on behalf of Copeland’s mother, he’s gonna take him behind the shed and put him down in Long Island for the last time. His theme hits again to end the promo segment as the commentators hype Copeland-Cage II at AEW Worlds End 2023
