Finals set for AEW Tag Team title eliminator tournament
The finals are now confirmed in the AEW Tag Team title eliminator tournament following the events of Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite.
The new team of Brodido (ROH World Champion Bandido & Brody King) successfully defeated the Young Bucks in a semifinal and will now take on FTR in the finals. Bandido scored the clean pin on Matt Jackson after a running assisted monkey flip spin from King (seen below).
The date of the match has yet to be announced as of this writing.
The winning team will advance to this month’s AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door in London, England, where they will challenge reigning AEW World Tag Team Champions The Hurt Syndicate (Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin).
Neither King or Bandido have held the Tag Team titles to this point while FTR (Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler) are looking for their third AEW Tag Team title run and first since October 2023.
FTR advanced with wins over JetSpeed and the Bang Bang Gang while Brodido defeated the Gates of Agony before beating the Bucks.
All four men have shared the ring with each other before, but not in a straight tag team match.
