Two title matches added to AEW All In

Posted on by Bryan Rose

A three-way for the AEW Tag Team titles is now set for All In.

The main event of Saturday’s Collision saw FTR and The Acclaimed wrestle to a 30 minute time limit draw in a match that had been set to determine The Young Bucks’ opponents for August 25. As the two teams argued in the ring, both ended up fighting. Tony Schiavone announced on commentary that Tony Khan had officially made the Wembley Stadium match a three-way.

After being the number one contenders for the AEW Tag Team titles for weeks, The Acclaimed got their shot against The Young Bucks on Wednesday’s Dynamite. The finish of that match had Matthew Jackson attempting to use one of the titles as a weapon. FTR came out to prevent it, but ended up fighting The Young Bucks when Matthew spit in Dax Harwood’s face, causing the match to be thrown out.

Also announced is a London Ladders match for the AEW Trios titles. The Patriarchy (Christian Cage, Nick Wayne, and Killswitch) will face off against The House of Black, The Bang Bang Gang, and a third team yet to be determined. The final slot will be determined in a wildcard match that will take place on Collision next Saturday in Wales.

Here’s the current AEW All In card for Sunday, August 25 from London’s Wembley Stadium:

  • AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland defends against Bryan Danielson
  • AEW Women’s World Champion Toni Storm defends against Mariah May
  • AEW American Champion MJF defends against Will Ospreay

Young Bucks win Tag Team titles at AEW Dynasty after Jack Perry interferes

Posted on by Josh Nason

For the third time, The Young Bucks are AEW Tag Team Champions thanks to interference from old friend Jack Perry at AEW Dynasty.

Matthew & Nicholas Jackson defeated FTR at Sunday’s pay-per-view in a ladder match for the vacant titles, aided by Perry’s surprise return. As Dax Harwood was up on the ladder and about to grab the belts, a man in a white mask and hood ran into the ring and pushed Harwood off the ladder.

Security swarmed him and commentary played it up like he was a fan, but they removed his mask to reveal Perry. Nicholas then was up on the ladder to grab the belts and win the titles. Perry was taken out by security afterward as the Bucks pretended to be surprised by everything.

The titles were vacated by Darby Allin & Sting following Sting’s retirement at March’s Revolution and put up in a tournament. FTR advanced with wins over The Infantry and Top Flight while the Bucks defeated Private Party and Best Friends (Orange Cassidy & Trent Beretta) to get to the finals.

It’s the third reign for the Bucks and their first since a 28-day reign in 2022. This was the fourth-ever meeting between both teams with each winning two of them.

Perry has been out of AEW since last August’s All In when he got into a backstage skirmish with CM Punk that AEW aired footage of several weeks ago. He just wrapped up a short run in NJPW where he adopted the “Scapegoat” moniker to help play off the Punk controversy.

Both teams did their best to follow the spectacular Bryan Danielson vs. Will Ospreay match that preceded them, pulling out all the stops and eventually getting the crowd back into things.

Some highlights:

Wheeler hit a running spear to Matthew on the ring apron who then slid on the table and broke it before his body then nailed the barricade, followed by Nicholas hurricanrana counter onto Harwood through a table at ringside.

Harwood and Wheeler hit a massive powerplex onto Nicholas off the ladders.

In a nasty looking bump, Nicholas hit a 450 splash onto Wheeler through a table while Harwood hit a piledriver onto Matt on top of a ladder, but the ladder broke making for an awkward fall.

Tag Team title tournament to begin on next AEW Collision

Posted on by Bryan Rose

The tournament to crown new AEW Tag Team Champions begins next week.

It was announced on Collision that the tournament will begin on next week’s show. They have been vacant since AEW Revolution, when Sting & Darby Allin vacated the titles following Sting’s retirement. No teams or a tournament bracket have been officially revealed.

Collision saw FTR come out to express interest in competing in the tournament, promising to win the AEW Tag Team titles for a third time if they get the chance. They were interrupted by Capt. Shawn Dean and Carlie Bravo, The Infantry. They shook hands with FTR, but said that they wanted to give the tag team tournament a “revival”, referencing FTR’s WWE name. Dax Harwood responded by saying The Revival was dead, and if they came across The Infantry during the tournament, they would be too.

Sting & Darby Allin successfully defended the titles at Revolution, defeating The Young Bucks. They had won the titles shortly before Sting’s retirement match by defeating Ricky Starks and Big Bill on the February 7 edition of AEW Dynamite.

Tony Khan announces tournament for vacant AEW Tag Team titles

Posted on by Bryan Rose

The AEW Tag Team titles are officially vacant.

Tony Khan announced during the AEW Revolution media scrum on Sunday that a tournament will be held this month to determine new AEW Tag Team Champions. Khan said the tournament would start in March, but didn’t give a specific date.

The titles will be vacated due to Sting’s retirement match at Revolution, where he and Darby Allin successfully retained the titles against The Young Bucks in a tornado match. Allin took a huge dive off a ladder during the course of the match, injuring his back after falling through glass. Regardless, he has already been announced for a singles bout at AEW Big Business on March 13, where he will face Jay White.

Sting & Allin held the titles for 25 days, defeating Ricky Starks and Big Bill on the February 7 edition of Dynamite. After they won the titles, they were attacked by The Young Bucks with baseball bats, leading to the match at AEW Revolution.

Sting & Darby Allin to challenge for Tag Team titles on February 7 AEW Dynamite

Posted on by Josh Nason

As his career winds down, Sting will get an opportunity to challenge for the AEW Tag Team titles.

He and Darby Allin will face current champions Big Bill & Ricky Starks on the Wednesday, February 7th edition of AEW Dynamite in Phoenix, Arizona.

In a promo on Wednesday’s show, Allin pointed out how they were undefeated as a team in AEW which he felt put them in line for a title shot. Allin asked him, “You still got it?” Sting then replied, “I’m all in.”

In a segment later on the show, Bill and Starks accepted the challenge and the match date was confirmed later in the show.

Sting will be looking for his first AEW title of any kind while Allin is a former two-time TNT titleholder. Sting hasn’t lost in any match he’s been part of since making his debut in March 2021.

Starks & Bill have successfully defended their titles three times since winning them from FTR in October 2023.

Sting’s final match will come at March’s Revolution pay-per-view in Greensboro, North Carolina, as he teams with Allin to take on the Young Bucks.

Kenny Omega & Chris Jericho earn future AEW Tag Team title match at Full Gear

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega have earned a future AEW Tag Team title match.

At Saturday’s Full Gear, The Golden Jets (Jericho and Omega) defeated The Young Bucks after Omega hit the One Winged Angel on Matt Jackson. As a result, Jericho and Omega won a future AEW Tag Team title match at any time they want, something that The Young Bucks had earned at WrestleDream last month. 

After the match, Nick Jackson threw a tantrum at ringside, clearly unhappy about the loss. After Matt recovered, he too began throwing a tantrum.

The Young Bucks won a four-way match at WrestleDream, defeating The Gunns, The Lucha Bros., and Orange Cassidy & Hook. In the weeks following their win, they have grown hostile towards Kenny Omega and Chris Jericho’s new association, accusing Omega of focusing on his relationship with Jericho rather than with The Elite.

The AEW Tag Team titles are currently held by Ricky Starks and Big Bill. They successfully retained the titles at Full Gear in a four-way ladder match that involved FTR, Rush & Dralistico of LFI, and Brody King & Malakai Black of The House of Black.

Ladder stipulation added to AEW Full Gear Tag Team title match

Posted on by Bryan Rose

A ladder match stipulation has been added to the Tag Team title match at AEW Full Gear.

On Friday’s Collision, Ricky Starks announced that he had added a ladder match stipulation to Saturday’s Full Gear match between himself & Big Bill, Rush & Dralistico, FTR, and Kings of the Black Throne.

Later in the show, Dax Harwood wrestled Rush in a singles match. After Rush got confrontational with Starks, who was doing commentary at ringside, both Starks and Bill got in the ring and attacked both men, causing the match to be ruled a no contest. Eventually all of the participants in the ladder match came into the ring and got in a brawl, with security running in to separate everyone.

Here is the updated card for Saturday’s Full Gear:

Tag Team title match announced for next week’s AEW Collision

Posted on by Bryan Rose

FTR’s next Tag Team title defense will take place next week.

On Saturday’s Collision, FTR were interviewed and asked what was next for them. They said that in order to be the best team, they needed to beat the best teams in AEW. They announced the start of the FTR World Tag Team Challenge, where they will defend their titles against any young team in the division that wanted to challenge for the titles. Later in the show, it was announced that FTR will defend the titles next week against The Iron Savages.

FTR’s last title defense took place at All In at Wembley Stadium last month, where they defeated The Young Bucks to retain their titles and win the rubber match in their trilogy. The following week, they agreed to team with The Young Bucks against Bullet Club Gold, who taunted them backstage following their match. FTR and The Young Bucks ended up losing that match at All Out to miscommunication.

Here is the card so far for next week’s Collision:

  • AEW Tag Team titles: FTR defends against The Iron Savages

Two-out-of-three falls Tag title match added to next week’s AEW Collision

Posted on by Bryan Rose

A two-out-of-three falls match for the AEW Tag Team titles is set for next week’s Collision at the Saddledome.

Juice Robinson and Jay White will challenge FTR for the titles. On Saturday’s Collision, Robinson & White defeated FTR in a long, back and forth match that served as a title eliminator match. Robinson & White won clean, with Robinson hitting an inverted DDT to score the pinfall on Harwood, with Cash Wheeler failing to break up the pinfall on time.

After the match, FTR were interviewed backstage when Robinson & White came up to them and gloated about winning the match. White challenged FTR to the two-out-of-three falls match, with FTR agreeing.

The finals of the men’s and women’s Owen Hart Foundation tournament will also take place next week.

Here is the lineup for next week’s Collision:

  • AEW Tag Team titles: FTR defend against Jay White & Juice Robinson
  • Men’s Owen Hart Tournament final: CM Punk vs. Ricky Starks
  • Women’s Owen Hart Tournament final: Willow Nightingale or Athena vs. Skye Blue or Ruby Soho

FTR will leave AEW if they can’t defeat The Gunns for the Tag Team titles

Posted on by Josh Nason

FTR threw down a proclamation during Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite that if they can’t defeat the Gunns for the Tag Team titles, they will leave AEW.

Following The Gunns’ successful title defense against Top Flight, thanks to interference from The Kingdom, FTR came out to deliver the message personally.

Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler said they were out to talk business, but Austin & Colten Gunn said there was nothing they could do to earn a shot at them, even if it meant no more title shots with a loss.

Wheeler then offered that they would split up in AEW if they lost and Austin still refused. Harwood then upped the ante with their departure if the Gunns defeated them and it was accepted, followed by the champions spitting in FTR’s faces.

A date wasn’t announced or intimated when that match will take place.

FTR lost the AEW Tag Team titles to The Acclaimed last December and were defeated the Gunns two weeks later in their last match for the promotion. The two made a surprise return at this month’s AEW Revolution following The Gunns’ successful title defense.

There has been speculation as to their long-term future in AEW as their contracts are reportedly up in April.

AEW Tag Team title eliminator tournament starting on Rampage

Posted on by Josh Nason

A four team AEW Tag Team title eliminator tournament was announced Wednesday with the winners moving on to face the Young Bucks in a steel cage match for the titles at next month’s All Out.

The tournament begins on Friday’s Rampage from the United Center as Private Party will take on the Jurassic Express and will continue next Wednesday on Dynamite as the Varsity Blonds go against the Lucha Brothers. The date of the finals weren’t announced.

Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus were unable to unseat the champions Wednesday due to repeated interference from fellow members of The Elite while Private Party is riding a three-match win streak. This will be the first time this pairing of Jurassic Express will take on Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy in a traditional tag team match.

The Blonds were unable to defeat the Bucks in a recent title match while the last time the Lucha Brothers faced the champions in a traditional tag team match, they successfully defended the AAA Tag Team titles against them at 2019’s All Out in a ladder match.

The Bucks learned it would be a steel cage match at this year’s All Out Wednesday as Tony Khan was tired of all the interference in their title matches.

Posted on by Bryan Rose

A tag team battle royal will take place in two weeks on Dynamite.

It was announced on tonight’s episode of Dynamite that a battle royal would be taking place in two weeks in Atlanta. No entrants were announced. The winners of the battle royal will receive an AEW Tag Team title match at Revolution on February 29.

Who the champions will be is not currently known. Hangman Page and Kenny Omega will defend the titles next week in Austin, Texas when they face former champions Frankie Kazarian and Scorpio Sky of SCU. The winners of this match will likely be the champions going into Revolution.

Page and Omega won the titles back on the January 21 edition of Dynamite. Page has a tenuous relationship with both Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks, choosing to leave the group on a recent episode of Being the Elite.

The February 19 edition of Dynamite will take place at the State Farm Arena.

Posted on by Bryan Rose

New tag team champions were crowned tonight on Dynamite.

Hangman Page and Kenny Omega defeated SCU (Scorpio Sky and Frankie Kazarian) in the opener of tonight’s AEW Dynamite. The finish came when Page pinned Kazarian with the buckshot lariat.

The Young Bucks came out to celebrate with Page and Omega after the match. Page left once they entered the ring and celebrated by himself through the crowd. Page has continunally shown disinterest in the Young Bucks, having left the The Elite recently.

Although the match aired tonight, the title change took place during yesterday’s Dynamite tapings on the Chris Jericho Rock ‘n’ Rager cruise ship.

This would mark the first time a title has changed hands in AEW. SCU became the first ever AEW Tag Team champions when they defeated the Lucha Bros. (Pentagon Jr. and Fenix) in a tournament final back on the October 30 edition of Dynamite in Charleston, West Virginia.
