What they're saying

It was billed as a dream match today (Aug. 30) at All In London when Adam Copeland and Christian Cage defended the AEW world tag team championship against the Young Bucks. The old men champs had the advantage during the early part of the bout when they worked over Matt Jackson’s neck and Nick Jackson’s foot. Nick even slipped off the rope on a springboard attempt due to his compromised ankle. The commentators noted that it would be an uphill battle for the Bucks to come back and win against the legendary team of Cope and Cage. .@Christian4Peeps takes advantage of Nick Jackson slipping off of the top rope!

Christian dropped Matt with the Killswitch and tossed him into a Cope spear, but it still wasn’t enough for the three count. Cage lost it and tried to cheat with a blow from the championship, but the referee saw what he was doing. As the ref cleaned up that situation, Cage pulled out a wrench from his loaded brace to take out the Bucks. Copeland hit one more spear for the win. .@Christian4Peeps used the wrench!
