In a shocking turn of events, 11-time WWE World Champion Adam Copeland, formerly known as Edge, has issued a challenge to former NXT Champion Malakai Black for a Barbed Wire Steel Cage match at the upcoming AEW Double or Nothing 2024 Pay-Per-View. This unexpected move comes on the heels of a lengthy feud between Copeland and the House of Black faction, led by Malakai Black.
The tension between Copeland and the House of Black has been building for weeks, with the two parties engaging in a series of mind games and intense matches. At the recent Dynasty Pay-Per-View, Copeland was pinned by Malakai Black in a trios match, where he teamed up with Eddie Kingston and Mark Briscoe. However, The Rated-R Superstar bounced back in the following weeks, defeating both Buddy Matthews and Brody King of the House of Black in consecutive matches.
Despite these victories, the feud between Copeland and the House of Black shows no signs of slowing down. In a recent episode of Collision, Copeland defeated Kyle O’Reilly in an epic main-event match, but it was his post-match behavior that raised eyebrows. The WWE Hall of Famer displayed strange behavior before leaving the ring, leaving fans wondering what was going through his mind.
The mystery was finally solved when Copeland delivered a backstage promo on the latest episode of Rampage, where he called out Malakai Black and challenged him to a Barbed Wire Steel Cage match at AEW Double or Nothing 2024. This move marks a significant escalation in the feud, as Copeland seeks to put an end to the mind games and settle the score with Black once and for all.
The question on everyone’s mind is how Malakai Black will fare in his first singles AEW Pay-Per-View match, particularly against a seasoned veteran like Adam Copeland. Will Black be able to hold his own against the 11-time WWE World Champion, or will Copeland’s experience and cunning prove too much for him? One thing is certain – the Barbed Wire Steel Cage match at AEW Double or Nothing 2024 will be an unforgettable encounter that fans will be talking about for weeks to come.
