The Young Bucks also secured a future shot at the AEW Tag Team titles in a match filled with a lot of thrilling spots. ‘Hangman’ Adam Page battled it out with his old rival Swerve Strickland in a losing effort. Swerve was heavily cheered throughout the match, being the hometown hero. The Main event was set between TNT Champion Christian Cage and Darby Allin in a two-out-of-three-falls match.
Adam ‘Edge’ Copeland makes his AEW Debut at WrestleDream
Christian Cage annihilated Darby throughout the match with the involvement of different weapons and furniture from the ringside. Despite being heavily cheered against Cage, Darby Allin came up short against the TNT Champion. By the final fall of the match, the wooden surface of the ring was exposed. Christian had nothing but destruction on his mind. He attempted to attack Sting with the chair just when the lights went off.
A man was shown driving to the arena in a fancy sports car. As it turned out to be, it was the Rated R Superstar Edge. The former WWE Superstar was introduced to the AEW universe as Adam Copeland, which is his real name. He entered the ring and joined forces with Sting instead of aligning himself with his old friend Christian.
With Edge’s monumental debut, AEW has once again attracted a lot of fans to their product. With Copeland on their side, they might benefit a lot, and we may see many iconic dream matches from Edge. He is currently set to make his in-ring debut against Luchasauras on AEW Dynamite on October 10.

WrestleDream served as another monumental event for All Elite Wrestling. The talent on display throughout the show was on point, with a lot of positive points. AEW has been performing well with their shows lately, which shows that they have a lot in store each time they come on Pay-per-view.
