What happens

Adam Copeland and Christian Cage, also known as Cage and Cope, are a Canadian professional wrestling tag team. They are signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where they are the reigning AEW World Tag Team Champions in their first reign, both as a team and individually. They are best known for their time in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), later renamed World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), as Edge & Christian (E&C) (Edge being Copeland's WWE ring name, and the other Cage's), where they won the WWF Tag Team Championship on seven occasions. Initially, the two were portrayed as on-screen brothers, but this aspect was de-emphasized in the mid-2000s, and in 2010, the team was officially retconned as legitimate childhood friends. The team disbanded in 2001 but reunited briefly under the SmackDown brand in 2011. Edge, however, announced his retirement from professional wrestling due to neck injury on the April 11 episode of Monday Night Raw, which would ultimately end their final run in WWE together. Edge made his in-ring return in 2020, followed by Christian in 2021, as the two were both entrants in the 2021 Royal Rumble. Shortly after, Christian left WWE for AEW using the ring name Christian Cage, and Edge would then join AEW in 2023 under his real name Adam Copeland, also truncated as Cope. The duo reunited in AEW in August 2025. In addition to their seven reigns as WWF Tag Team Champions, they each won singles titles during their run as a tag team. Edge and Christian are also noteworthy for their participation in the first three Tables, Ladders, and Chairs matches (TLC matches), and the use of steel folding chairs as weapons. They developed a move called the "con-chair-to", a play on words of "concerto" where both Edge and Christian each hit a wrestler simultaneously with a chair, often in the head, or they lay a motionless wrestler's head on a chair, and then hit them in the head with another chair. They are considered one of the major teams that revived tag team wrestling during the Attitude Era. In 2012, WWE named them the greatest tag team in WWE history. The team's popularity propelled Edge & Christian to main event success, with both men becoming multiple-time singles world champions in their own right. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
