The next challengers for the AEW Tag Team titles at this month’s WrestleDream will be determined on this Saturday’s edition of Collision.
Private Party, Top Flight and House of Black will vie for the opportunity to challenge the Young Bucks (pictured above) at the Saturday, October 12th pay-per-view. None of the teams have held the Tag Team titles before.
Private Party issued a challenge on this past Wednesday’s fifth anniversary edition of Dynamite and the Bucks feigned as if they were going to accept but then decided not to. That led to Jack Perry attacking Private Party from behind and the three heels beating them up until Katsuyori Shibata made the save.
Friday’s Rampage will feature the Bucks and Perry against Private Party and Shibata.
Top Flight have battled the Bucks several times in the past while House of Black feuded with The Elite over the AEW Trios titles in early-2023.
