Brian Cage Rants About Not Getting a Match at AEW WrestleDream

Earlier this week on AEW Dynamite, Konosuke Takeshita beat Brian Cage in a qualifying match for Clockwork Carnage at AEW WrestleDream. That leaves Cage without a spot in the pay-per-view match. Cage released a new video on his X account last night, commenting on not being able to get a slot on the pay-per-view card and showing fans that he can work and talk.

Cage comments, “I told myself I wouldn’t do this again. I wouldn’t be doing this again in the car, yet here we are. You know, earlier this week I showed all of you — oh, you’re damn right I can talk. Then I showed you all a couple days later — well, I’ve already showed you multiple times that I can work. I had a match of the night after I just talked my *** off, flipping everybody around.”

He continued: “I saw all the comments. And this time, we weren’t talking about how I was going to get rammed through. No, no, no. All the comments were talking about, ‘Oh damn! Let me eat my words. Oh damn, Brian Cage can talk that talk! Oh damn, Brian Cage can walk that walk! You know what? I know there’s been a lot of followers, a lot of believers, a lot of people backing Cage, a lot of people part of the Cage Brigade. And I’ll tell you what, I welcome everyone there with open arms. Better late than never. And everyone turning the page to Brian Cage, hey, you’re welcome to join on in, buddy. Here we are. It’s fun here. It’s a good time here. Every time I go out there, you’re damn right. I own the spotlight, I have the match of the night, I get all of my stuff in. The athletic anomaly, the physical phenomenon, you just saw it all in person. You saw it there live on TV.”

Cage also bemoaned not getting a match at WrestleDream this weekend. He stated, “And who’s there this weekend at WrestleDream? That’s right, not me. And that’s anything but a dream, because you got the dream body, the dream body that everybody wishes for, the dream look, the create-a-wrestler brought to life. And we’re not at WrestleDream?! That is a catastrophe! Once again, one more pay-per-view of the year, the most pay-per-views we’ve had out of any year since AEW, and Brian Cage still isn’t on one?! What is going on here?!”

Cage noted that he deserves to get a spot on an AEW PPV event. He added, “What we need is to get me on that PPV. What we need, as everyone keeps saying, is that Brian Cage push.”

Cage did promote that he will be at AEW Dynamite in Coral Gables, Florida on October 21. He stated, “I’m gonna be there. And just like last week I told you, I’m gonna show up and guarantee you two things. I’m gonna look better than everybody else. I’m gonna go out there and have one hell of a banger, win or lose, because as I always say, who better than Brian Cage? Nobody.”

He also wrote in the caption of his video, “Don’t cut me off, don’t count me down, I ain’t done talking here.” Cage previously signed with AEW in early 2020 and has been part of the promotion for almost seven years. He’s currently a member of The Don Callis Family.
