Christian Cage acted like he had seen a ghost when his best friend, Adam Copeland, charged down the ramp during the concluding moments of AEW WrestleDream this past Sunday. Cage handed a chair to his former tag partner to help him attack Sting and Darby Allin, but the “Rated-R Superstar” instead attacked Cage’s associates, landing a chair shot on Nick Wayne and then spearing Luchasaurus.

While the segment did not establish the two Canadians being at odds, Edge shaking hands with Sting and Allin could be a sign of him and Cage coming to blows down the road. On Monday’s “Busted Open,” Bully Ray explained why it would be in AEW’s best interest to eventually re-unite Edge and Cage once they settle their differences.

“It’s a no-brainer that wrestling fans would like to see Edge and Christian on the same page again,” Ray said. “And I think wrestling fans are going to be clamoring for the day that they can see Edge and Christian standing across the ring from The Hardys one more time … You don’t have to get to that for quite some time — to think that you have that in your back pocket and you can play that hand in a year down the road, provided everyone stays healthy.”

Ray believes AEW must stick with Edge as a singles performer through the first year before pulling the trigger on a reunion with Cage, which he says could lead to “arenas being sold out” and fans reacting with “This is awesome” chants purely for nostalgic reasons. “There is a lot to do with Edge — all these singles stories before you get to the fantasy stuff [with Christian]. That is a huge positive for AEW right now,” Ray added.

While an E&C reunion could happen eventually, Edge will go one-on-one with Christian’s ally Luchasaurus on the October 10 edition of “AEW Dynamite.”
