Brian Christopher Joseph Button[1][2] (born February 2, 1984), better known by the ring name Brian Cage, is an American professional wrestler and bodybuilder. He is currently signed to All Elite Wrestling (AEW), where he is a member of Cage of Agony and a former one-time FTW Champion. Cage also performs in AEW's sister promotion Ring of Honor (ROH), where he is a former two-time ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champion. He also competes on the independent circuit.

Button was hired by World Wrestling Entertainment in 2008 and was assigned to their farm territory Florida Championship Wrestling, where he worked as Kris Logan. He left the promotion the following year and began working in the American independent circuit, most notably Pro Wrestling Guerrilla as Brian Cage-Taylor. In 2014, Button was hired to appear in El Rey Network television series Lucha Underground, where he performed as Cage. Since Lucha Underground was created by Mexican promotion Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide, he appeared on several AAA shows. Also, Cage appeared on AAA's American partner Impact Wrestling where he is a former Impact World Champion and a former Impact X Division Champion.
