Cope (FKA Edge) to Form a New Alliance With Ex-AEW champions After Dynamite? Exploring the Possibility

AEW star Cope (FKA Edge) is one of the biggest names in the company. He debuted in late 2023 and eventually became AEW TNT Champion twice. Earlier this year, he was in an alliance with FTR. This team was collectively known as Rated-FTR. However, Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood betrayed him at the Dynasty PPV. The former AEW World Tag Team Champions brutally attacked The Rated-R Superstar, causing the Canadian to be sidelined for months.

Cope made his anticipated return at All In 2025, rescuing Christian Cage from an assault by FTR and The Patriarchy. The WWE Hall of Famer is currently in a feud with Wheeler and Harwood. He is hell-bent on exacting revenge on the former NXT Tag Team Champions. However, he is currently outnumbered. It is close to impossible for him to subdue FTR and their manager, Stokely, alone. Hence, it will make a lot of sense if the veteran joins forces with a top tag team after Dynamite: The Young Bucks.

Ever since Matt and Nick Jackson lost their EVP status at All In: Texas, the former AEW World Tag Team Champions have faced immense humiliation and disrespect. They have to do something to regain lost glory, and allying with the former Edge could change their fortune. Joining hands with the legend will automatically make them faces. Furthermore, it might open the path for them to challenge for the AEW World Tag Team Title soon.

The Young Bucks will lock horns with Brodido (Bandido and Brody King) in the semi-finals of the ongoing World Tag Team Championship Eliminator Tournament this week on Dynamite. The Jackson brothers will probably win and qualify for the final, where they will meet FTR. Next week would be the perfect time for an alliance between Cope, Matt, and Nick Jackson to take shape. That said, this is mere speculation at this point.

Former AEW World Tag Team Champions are hurt by the disrespect they have been receiving on Dynamite

The humiliation Matt and Nick Jackson have been facing on All Elite Wrestling's weekly programming since All In 2025 is affecting them immensely. A few days ago, they released a heartbreaking statement on X, expressing how hurt they feel.

"You know what hurts the most is the... the lack of respect. You know? That's what hurts the most," they wrote.

Hopefully, Matt and Nick will come out of this rough patch soon and regain their on-screen EVP status someday.
