The war of words has officially begun between House of Black and Adam Copeland, with Buddy Matthews taking to social media to gloat about his faction’s recent attack on the TNT Champion. In a series of Instagram posts, Matthews shared photos from the brutal assault, which left Copeland lying in the ring, bereft of his wedding ring. The psychological games are clearly underway, and Matthews is seeking to get inside Copeland’s head ahead of their highly anticipated Barbed Wire Steel Cage match at Double or Nothing 2024.
Matthews’ bold claim is that Copeland’s weakness lies in his history of struggling against trios. The House of Black member pointed to not only his own faction but also Judgment Day, the group that Copeland once helped form before being betrayed and ousted. In a subtle yet telling move, Matthews’ fiancée, Rhea Ripley – a key player in Judgment Day – responded to his tweet with a devil face emoji, implying that she agrees with his assessment.
The numbers disadvantage has long been the Achilles’ heel for stars facing off against the House of Black. Copeland, in particular, has faced this challenge head-on, with only Kyle O’Reilly lending a hand in their recent confrontation. Even with O’Reilly’s assistance, the trio proved too much to handle, laying out all three men. As Double or Nothing draws near, the question on everyone’s mind is: can Copeland overcome the odds and emerge victorious, or will the House of Black’s strength in numbers prove too great to overcome?
With tensions escalating and the stakes higher than ever, the TNT Championship match at Double or Nothing promises to be an intense, hard-hitting affair. Can Adam Copeland overcome the psychological and physical toll of facing the House of Black, or will Malakai Black emerge victorious and claim the championship for himself? One thing is certain: the world of professional wrestling will be watching with bated breath as these two superstars clash in what promises to be an unforgettable encounter.
