Christian Cage first debuted with All Elite Wrestling back in 2021, and he’s been a key member of the roster ever since. Earlier this year Christian reunited with Adam Copeland, and together they took the tag team division by storm when they won the AEW World Tag Team Championship at Double or Nothing back in May.
Cope and Christian went on to drop the AEW World Tag Team Championship to The Young Bucks when they defended the titles against The Bucks and FTR in a three way ladder match at All Out in September. Following the show it was announced that Christian suffered three broken ribs and a collapsed lung in the ladder match, which has left him sidelined for an indefinite amount of time.
Ahead of the AEW Full Gear pay-per-view Tony Khan addressed Christian Cage’s status during a media call and he revealed that Christian is going through a difficult recovery.
“I’m very optimistic that we will see Christian Cage back, but I can’t say when. I can’t give any update other than to say he’s doing well, and he’s had a very challenging recovery, and he’s in the middle of a very challenging recovery.”
While Christian Cage is out of action, Cope is focused on singles competition. He will be attempting to win gold tonight at the AEW Full Gear pay-per-view as Cope is currently set to challenge Kazuchika Okada for the AEW International Championship.
Stay tuned for updates.
