### All Elite Wrestling

On March 7, 2021 at Revolution, Cage made his surprise debut for All Elite Wrestling (AEW). It was announced by AEW president Tony Khan in the post-event media scrum that Cage had signed a multi-year contract with the company.

He made his in-ring debut for AEW at Double or Nothing on May 30. He competed in the Casino Battle Royale, lasting until the end before being eliminated by Jungle Boy.

On the September 23 episode of _Collision_, Cage won the AEW TNT Championship after competing in a three-way match against Luchasaurus and Darby Allin. Cage had claimed Luchasaurus' TNT Championship as his own in the months leading up to the match. At Worlds End, Cage would lose the title to his former friend Adam Copeland in an no disqualification match. Minutes after the match, Cage would use the title shot that was earned by Killswitch (previously Luchasaurus) earlier on the preshow and win his second TNT Championship.
