While they have been down on their luck since this month’s defeat at AEW All In, The Young Bucks still got it when they need to.
The former three-time AEW Tag Team Champions picked up an important win during Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite, defeating The Outrunners in the AEW Tag Team title eliminator tournament to advance to the semifinals.
The Jackson brothers picked up the win after a TK/Meltzer Driver to Turbo Floyd for the pin.
In the semifinals, they will face the winners of Brodido (Brody King & Bandido) vs. The Gates of Agony which takes place on Thursday’s live Collision. On the other side of the bracket, FTR will take on The Bang Bang Gang (Austin Gunn & Juice Robinson) in a semifinal.
The winners of the tournament will challenge AEW Tag Team Champions The Hurt Syndicate at next month’s Forbidden Door pay-per-view in London, England. Of the remaining teams, only FTR and the Bucks have previously held the titles. Matt & Nick Jackson haven’t held them since October 2024.
