Cope Addresses Helping Christian Cage At AEW All In Texas, FTR Stipulation Revealed

Cope addresses his return at AEW All In Texas.
The Rated-R Superstar kicked off his promo by saying he wasn’t trying to save Christian Cage at All In Texas. After recapping their history in AEW, Cope seemed slightly hopeful for the future of his former best friend, saying that he hopes he pulls his head out of his ass.
As it turns out, FTR was the main focus of Cope’s return at All In. Cope was obviously furious at Harwood and Wheeler for taking him out of action for four months, revealing that he came back to put an end the tag team.
Stokely Hathaway was out next, flanked by security. Hathaway took his sweet time criticizing Cope, saying that AEW, Tony Khan, and Warner Media have received multiple emails complaining about his behavior. The bombshell came next, with Hathaway saying that Cope will be fired if he lays a finger on FTR.
Cope ended the segment by taking out two security guards and spearing Hathaway.
Big Stoke with the bombshell! If @RatedRCope lays a hand on FTR, he's FIRED!
