It also opened with one.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">FTR\u2019s Tag title defense against Adam Copeland and Christian Cage was already personal given the way Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler took out Copeland\u2019s wife Beth after their first encounter, and have generally tried to end the careers of the former Edge &amp; Christian at every opportunity. But then C &amp; C put their careers as a team on the line too, and both sides agreed to make it an \u201cI Quit\u201d match.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">That meant anything went, and it did\u2026<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u2026 and after or during a lot of those stretches, referee Paul Turner asked one of the men if they quit.
