Nick Wayne & The Patriarchy Turns Heel on Christian Cage, Cope Makes Surprise Return & Teases Reunion with Cage

Saturday’s AEW All In Texas event at the Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas featured Nick Wayne attacking Christian Cage and The Patriarchy turning on Cage.

Following Hurt Syndicate’s victory over JetSpeed and The Patriarchy to retain the AEW World Tag Team Championship, FTR and Stokely Hathaway confronted a knocked out Cage in the ring. This led to Wayne and Kip Sabian with a chair in his hand getting into the ring to protect Cage. After a tense standoff, Cage prepared to leave the ring only to get hit with a Killswitch by Wayne.

This led to Mother Wayne laughing in delight over what her son did and Sabian getting steel chairs for Wayne to do a Con-Chair-To to Cage to take him out for good. Before Wayne was about to strike Cage with the chair, Adam Copeland’s music played and came out with Spike his hand.

Cope proceeded to lay out Wayne and Sabian while FTR and Hathaway bailed out of the ring and through the crowd to safety. After clearing the ring of the Patriarchy, Cope helped up Cage and told him to “go find yourself” before leaving the ring and Cage giving thought about what to do next.

This was Copeland’s first appearance since this past April’s Dynasty 2025 due to a storyline “injury” at the hands of FTR.

During the AEW World Championship Texas Death Match between Hangman Adam Page and Jon Moxley, the Death Riders’ Marina Shafir, Wheeler Yuta, and Claudio Castagnoli interfered leading to Will Ospreay running out trying to save Page to no avail. This led to a video airing on the big screen featuring Allin delivering an ominous message to Moxley and the Death Riders.

As the Death Riders were distracted, a masked hooded person ran into the wearing a Blue Panther mask and doing Danielson’s signature “YES” taunt. After this mystery person hit a Busaiku Knee to Yuta, this person took off their mask revealing himself to indeed be Danielson.

This then led to a Allin rappelling down from the rafters and proceeded to lay out Moxley and followed it with a Coffin Drop to the rest of the Death Riders on the outside.
