The Young Bucks didn’t just credit FTR and Brodido for helping put tag team wrestling back on the map in AEW, they also gave a nod to JetSpeed, the duo of Kevin Knight and “Speedball” Mike Bailey, stating that injecting a new team into the division has done wonders for the division. However, they also hope that they have been able to contribute to the division’s success as well.

“I feel like we’ve all brought it to the next level,” Matt said. “Every week now it’s like, ‘God, how are we going to top that one?’ Somehow we all manage to do it but that’s good. It’s a good thing when you’re trying to top yourself when it’s this friendly competitive thing that you have with your colleagues because it only makes you want to be better. I hope Brodido and FTR have the greatest tag team match. They’ll steal the show or our six man will.” With all that said, The Young Bucks might be hoping for a Brodido victory on Saturday night as FTR will equal Matt and Nick’s record of three reigns with the AEW World Tag Team Championships if they pick up the win.

To put an even bigger spotlight on the AEW tag team division, the female roster are currently competing in a tournament to determine the first-ever AEW Women’s World Tag Team Champions. Both Matt and Nick feel like it has been a long time coming for the women’s division, and believes they can deliver in a two-on-two setting just as much as the men have. “That was the goal when we started this thing. We want tag team wrestling to be at the forefront of the company and to main event shows. Now both women and men get to showcase that. It’s the best part of wrestling. I think it’s psychologically the best way that you can lay out a match. Tag wrestling is superior to singles. I’m sorry!”
