Nick Jackson of the Young Bucks opened up his Twitter for a short q&a session yesterday. During the conversation, Jackson commented on AEW’s relationship with New Japan Pro Wrestling, his favorite wrestlers, dream matches and more.
Highlights from Jackson’s Twitter q&a are below.
Jackson responded with the following when asked about an AEW working relationship with NJPW:
Nick Jackson also commented on a potential Canadian TV deal for AEW. NXT will not air in Canada on Wednesday nights, rather a 1-hour condensed version of the show will air on Sportsnet Fridays at 7 p.m. before SmackDown.
Cody Rhodes was active on social media on Tuesday where he confirmed the television rating for the AEW weekly series on TNT.
The All Elite Wrestling Executive Vice President confirmed on his official Twitter account that AEW Dynamite will be rated TV-14.
The news was made when Rhodes was responding to a fan who asked if the weekly AEW TV show on TNT will be rated TV-PG.
AEW’s competition, WWE, made the move to PG programming several years ago, which has led to many fans wanting them to make the product edgier like they had back in the Attitude Era.
Starting Wednesday, October 2 in Washington, D.C., at the famed Capital One Arena, AEW will begin airing live two-hour weekly matches on TNT at 8 p.m. ET.
Rhodes is expected to open the show as he’ll be in action when he takes on Sammy Guevara in a singles match.
He was last seen in action under the AEW banner when he got his revenge on Sean Spears by beating him at the All Out event in at the Sears Centre in Chicago, IL that aired on pay-per-view.
A possible AEW (All Elite Wrestling) studio show could be on its way soon.
The Wrap reports that WarnerMedia is in discussions for a studio show, which comes after more details surfaced about WWE’s FOX Sports 1 studio show that is expected to premiere soon.
This studio show for AEW would be in addition to the main show, AEW Dynamite, that debuts on October 2nd on TNT.
Brett Weitz, the general manager of TNT, TBS, and truTV, told TheWrap that they are talking about.
He stated that Tony Khan, who serves as the President of AEW, is not short of ideas or passion.
“So there is a world where we’re thinking about ‘Where does something like that live?’ Knowing full well that within the WarnerMedia ecosystem we have B/R Live, we’ve got all these different components at our disposal.”
Weitz continued by noting that more content for these fans the better and that they would love to figure out what something like that looks like.
WWE’s studio show is expected to be called WWE Backstage and debut on November 5th. It should be noted that WWE and FOX Sports 1 have yet to comment on that news.
All Elite Wrestling has announced another segment for their Dynamite premiere show on TNT that features Adam Page.
The promotion confirmed his appearance with the question of what will Page have to say. This appears to be a play on how his last match ended under the AEW banner.
Jericho beat Hangman Page to become the first World Champion under the All Elite Wrestling banner in the headliner of the All Out pay-per-view event last month.
This match was set up shortly after the first AEW pay-per-view event, Double or Nothing.
This is where Page drew the Joker card in the Casino Battle Royale allowing him to enter at lucky number 21 where he would win the contest while Jericho beat Kenny Omega.
Starting Wednesday, October 2 in Washington, D.C., at the famed Capital One Arena, AEW will begin airing live two-hour weekly matches on TNT at 8 p.m. ET. The show will take place in different cities across the nation each week on Wednesdays.
Here is the updated card for the premiere episode:
Chris Jericho & mystery partners vs. The Young Bucks & Kenny Omega.
Nyla Rose vs. Riho to crown the first AEW Women’s Champion
AEW Dynamite premieres on TNT in just over one week. Ahead of next week’s big show, there are some interesting new details to report regarding behind-the-scenes happenings at All Elite Wrestling.
As first reported in our world exclusive about the formation of AEW, agent Barry Bloom was instrumental in getting the project off the ground, until he was effectively pushed out of the venture in its early stages.
Since then, Bloom has maneuvered himself back into the AEW mix in a more profitable way: by cornering the market on AEW’s top stars.
Barry Bloom has been a power broker in the industry for decades. He represented Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall and others during the height of WCW’s boom period. He still reps some of the top names in the wrestling, including Jim Ross and Chris Jericho.
SEScoops has learned that Bloom recently signed Kenny Omega as a client. Omega is arguably the franchise player of All Elite Wrestling, so this signing is significant as it relates to Bloom’s influence. Nick and Matt Jackson of the Young Bucks are also in talks with Barry Bloom.
Fellow AEW Executive VP Cody Rhodes is currently signed with Brian Wittenstein, but Jim Ross is encouraging Cody to keep his options open.
In addition to Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks, Barry Bloom is taking meetings with high profile talent from WWE and Impact Wrestling about representation.
According to a source to the matter, Bloom is actively positioning himself to be a key player in the inevitable WWE/NXT vs. AEW talent war.
David Benoit, son of Chris Benoit, has voiced his interest in entering the squared circle for All Elite Wrestling (AEW).
Benoit was a guest on a recent episode of the Pro and Bro Wrestling Podcast with Fred Rosser. When asked by Rosser (formerly WWE Superstar Darren Young) if he had been training, Benoit replied that he’s just been “messing around in the ring right now with a couple of guys from AEW.”
Although he did not provide details on who he has been training with, Benoit did mention he has a close relationship with AEW Champion Chris Jericho. He was also in attendance for both Double or Nothing and All Out. Despite his claims that he is only messing around, Benoit has had gear made so he is ready for whenever he might debut.
When asked where he might like to wrestle, Benoit didn’t hesitate, responding:
“I want to go to AEW one hundred percent. I love AEW. I love what they do for the boys. Take care of them.”
This interview with Fred Rosser was advertised as David Benoit’s first-ever podcast interview.
Benoit has frequently attended WWE shows in the past, uploading photos of himself at various events. He mentioned that he is no longer allowed backstage at WWE events but didn’t explain why.
Former WWE and current AEW Star Dustin Rhodes recently had
an interview with Bleacher Report where he spoke openly about his role in the
newly established wrestling company.
Dusty Rhodes, the father of Dustin Rhodes is credited by a
lot of current and former NXT Stars as the one who helped them develop their
character and improve their mic skills to a great extent.
Now Dustin will be following the footsteps of his dad as the AEW promo coach and according to him, the wrestlers will not have to memorize anything word for word:
“I’ve been hired as a promo coach, and I want to help
teach them how to talk, you don’t have to take this gigantic paragraph of text
and memorize that s–t word for word, because it’s going to come off bland and
not true to your character.”
Rhodes went on to say that they will work out who the
character of the person is and try to find a happy medium between where the
company wants the stars to go and where the stars want to go themselves.
According to Dustin, the ones he is going to push the most
are the ones who have never done promo and who are nervous about being on TV.
Apart from this, Dustin Rhodes also discussed how they will have time to tell stories on their TV show and they won’t be stuck doing 4 minutes television matches. You can read his full interview at this link.
After requesting and being granted her release from All Elite Wrestling earlier this summer, Kylie Rae returned to wrestling last night. She performed on a Freelance Wrestling show in Chicago as a last-minute replacement for Shotzi Blackheart. It was her first match since June.
Just hours before the event, Freelance Wrestling posted on their Twitter account that Kylie would be Blackheart’s replacement on the card:
Unfortunately @Shotziblack will be unable to join us tonight.
But I think we found a more than suitable replacement.
AEW President Tony Khan confirmed after All Out that Kylie had requested and been granted her release. It is not known at this time what led to her requesting her release from the promotion. She deleted her Twitter account and has not posted to Instagram since July. Her only match as an official member of the AEW roster was at Double or Nothing in the fatal 4-way match won by Britt Baker.
“She is no longer with us,” Khan said at the All Out post-event media scrum. “She asked for her release and we granted it, she called me and asked if she could be released from her contract, it was pretty simple. I said ‘Yeah’ and asked if everything was okay. She said, ‘Yeah,’ and didn’t want to be with the company anymore.”
With NXT premiering this past week on USA Network and All Elite Wrestling (AEW) gearing up for their debut on TNT on October 2nd, some might wonder how closely the two promotions are monitoring one another.
In an interview with talkSPORT, Matt and Nick Jackson spoke about NXT’s debut as well as Triple H’s recent comments regarding NXT’s roster.
Nick admitted that he watched some of the premiere because of the people he knows in the promotion, calling it a “fun show.”
“Matt and I, we have a lot of friends there. Candice LeRae, we have a history with so I was happy for her,” Nick said. “She was in the first match in the four-way and she did great, so I was happy for her.”
Regarding the shows going head-to-head, his brother Matt added, “I’m rooting for them, though. I want them to have a good show. Ours is just going to be better.”
The Young Bucks then turned their attention to a previous interview with Triple H. During that interview,’ The Game’ shared that he wouldn’t want to trade anyone on his NXT roster for anyone else in the world. The Jackson brothers found this statement funny because, as Nick puts it “Like, come on…we know you wanted us.”
Matt then said, “A year ago you were trying to get us all [in The Elite]! A year ago you were trying to get every one of us to come and work for you, so, that’s cool. You can say whatever. Don’t act like there was no interest in us and you wouldn’t trade for us because I know for a fact, you would.”
The Young Bucks are scheduled to face off against Private Party in the AEW Tag Team Tournament on October 9th.
WWE recently announced that NXT will remain in Full Sail University after going live, however, the Young Bucks seem to think that it’s a wrong move for the company.
Bucks recently spoke to Alex McCarthy of TalkSPORT where they discussed things like Triple H’s recent comments about the NXT roster, their UK television deal and more.
Talking about the USA premiere episode of the Black and Yellow brand, Matt said that he is rooting for them. He said that he wants them to have a good show but their show debuting on TNT on October 2nd will be better.
Nick then raised a concern about the show remaining in Full Sail “It was a fun show. But 10 weeks from now, those fans might get tired. It happened with IMPACT [doing a show from the same studio].”
The Bucks also talked about Pac making his debut for the
promotion during the All Out PPV where he replaced Jon Moxley in a match
against Kenny Omega.
Nick revealed that there were a couple of more names being discussed as a possible replacement. Though those talks were nixed and it was Tony Khan who got the deal with the former WWE Star done.
What do you think about The Young Bucks’ comments about the
audience getting bored with NXT? Let us know your thoughts in the comment
section below:
Both Dustin Rhodes and Cody Rhodes have honored the legacy of their father Dusty Rhodes in their own way and they both have worked hard to become successful wrestlers in their own right.
However, during a recent interview with Bleacher Report,
Dustin talked about his start in wrestling and revealed that their dad actually
didn’t want him to become a wrestler.
Rhodes was talking about his childhood. He said that he
loved everything about the business since he was little and revealed that Dusty
didn’t want him to get into the wrestling industry:
“For the first time I was let in on all the secret
stuff, the kayfabe stuff, I’d been longing for so, so long. He gave me a crash course;
he didn’t want me to get into the wrestling industry. But that’s all I wanted.
I grew up desiring nothing but the wrestling business.”
However, the current AEW Star stayed loyal to his dream. This forced his dad to allow him to work in the business, though he still made Dustin work his way up through the industry.
According to the star formerly known as Goldust, he had to
learn everything about the business by working hard and spending countless
hours in the gym as well as with the veterans on the road.
His first break in the industry came when Dusty told him to referee a couple of matches. He instructed Dustin to drive the car to reach the arena, while the Hall Of Famer flew in for the show in his private jet.
Apart from this, Dustin also talked about AEW’s upcoming TV show, helping young talents and more. You can check out his full interview at this link.
Dominik Dijakovic will face Keith Lee next week live on NXT. The 32-year-old responded to Kenny Omega’s recent comments regarding NXT “developmental talent” with the following Tweet:
Well I had the second best match that weekend, was extremely hungover, no sold a burning hammer and got yelled at by regal for falling on my head 50 times….. 10 hours late with that response but WHATS UP?
“You can call it a war if you want,” Omega said in a recent interview with Sportskeeda. “It’s like, to me, we’re in a completely different kind of business. I mean what they’re doing is different from what we’re doing. It’s weird, because it’s hard to say you’re going to war with people that I call my friends. And yet, we are going to war.”
Omega continued, “And yet, when I sit back and look at the grand picture, I’m going to war with these dudes that, if we were on the same show together, the same promotion…let’s pretend there were no borders. Let’s pretend there were no promotions. Let’s just pretend there’s just one big promotion. If these guys were in the same show as me, they’d be in the dark match. They’d be in the opening match of my main event match.”
WWE uses the third hour of SmackDown Live to tape content for their on-demand service WWE Network and some latest comments from Cody Rhodes make it seem like AEW could also follow these footprints.
Cody recently had an interview with IGN, where he discussed things like NXT’s debut on USA Network, his upcoming championship match with Chris Jericho and more.
While talking about their TV Show, the former WWE Star explained how they will switch between stars. He explained that not every star will be on TV every week and Rhodes went on to discuss the possibility of a third hour of on-demand content:
“It will probably (be) live for people to stream on B/R Live, we have a lot of resources and we want to make sure that people can plug into the wrestlers who we signed who they’re fans of. We’re going to try and keep everybody busy.”
The former IC Champion also discussed their upcoming show on TNT saying that they want to provide “bell-to-bell sports-centric pro-wrestling.”
Expanding on his comments, Cody Rhodes explained that this will mean that their matches will be longer and the stories will be told through the bouts, in between the ropes.
AEW’s TNT show dubbed Dynamite will premiere on October 2nd. You can watch the latest promo for the same below:
On Thursday, All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and TNT revealed the name and first official poster of their upcoming weekly show. The name is All Elite Wrestling: “Dynamite.”
Starting Wednesday, October 2, AEW will begin airing live two-hour weekly matches on TNT at 8 p.m. ET. The show will take place in different cities across the nation each week on Wednesdays, starting in Washington, D.C., at the famed Capital One Arena.
In the press release, it was noted that “AEW is giving fans a new wrestling experience for the first time in 20 years. AEW is about more than wrestling. It’s a movement fueled by fans, offering fun, gripping and authentic athletic matches every week.”
Future events announced so far will be held in Boston, MA, Philadelphia, PA, Pittsburgh PA, Charleston, WV, Charlotte NC, Nashville, TN, Indianapolis, IN and Chicago, IL.
Here is the updated card for the premiere episode:
Chris Jericho & mystery partners vs. The Young Bucks & Kenny Omega.
Nyla Rose vs. Riho to crown the first AEW Women’s Champion
Kenny Omega was recently interviewed by Sportskeeda while in Singapore and spoke about the pending war on Wednesday nights between AEW and NXT. Omega was hesitant to call it a war, however, and insinuated that NXT is still just WWE’s developmental brand.
“You can call it a war if you want,” he said. “It’s like, to me, we’re in a completely different kind of business. I mean what they’re doing is different from what we’re doing. It’s weird, because it’s hard to say you’re going to war with people that I call my friends. And yet, we are going to war.”
Omega continued, “And yet, when I sit back and look at the grand picture, I’m going to war with these dudes that, if we were on the same show together, the same promotion…let’s pretend there were no borders. Let’s pretend there were no promotions. Let’s just pretend there’s just one big promotion. If these guys were in the same show as me, they’d be in the dark match. They’d be in the opening match of my main event match.”
The former IWGP Heavyweight Champion added that AEW fans will see real stars on TNT, whereas NXT offers “developmental talent.”
“You wanna call that a war, you wanna call that competition? Go ahead. Maybe it’s fun for you to do. That’s cool. But we’re different planets. And you’re going to see that right away, when you see 10000+ arenas sold out. You’re going to see smiles on fans’ faces. You’re going to see real stars. Not developmental talent but real stars appearing on your television sets, every week.”
All Elite Wrestling’s Joey Janela uploaded an unfortunate video during Wednesday afternoon. ‘The Bad Boy’ took to Twitter to share footage of damage to his car after somebody had broken into it. He revealed that his wrestling gear had been stolen while he was in Philadelphia.
The short clip shows the aftermath of the robbery, with broken glass all across the car seats. Cables can be seen strewn across the passenger seat as Janela deadpans “Good afternoon, Philadelphia.”
In the actual tweet, Janela wrote:
“Good afternoon Philadelphia, Wrestling gear is bye, bye…. Bunkhouse Janela is BOLA…….”
He later added that, despite having $80 in cash in plain sight, the robbers decided to steal the “sweaty gross wrestling gear” instead. They also took his Beats Headphones.
“I’m dying that I had $80 in cash laying around in plain site but the robbers decided to take sweaty gross wrestling gear and a man purse full of foreign coins…..”
I’m dying that I had $80 in cash laying around in plain site but the robbers decided to take sweaty gross wrestling gear and a man purse full of foreign coins….. ???
Trying to stay positive about the awful situation, Janela later tweeted that “If I don’t have any gear this weekend I still got these sick CHOPS BABY…”
Joey Janela recently competed for All Elite Wrestling’s All Out event. He participated in a three-way Cracker Barrel Clash matchup against Darby Allin and Jimmy Havoc.
Before the incident that took place at WrestlePro last Saturday night, Big Cass sat down for an interview with Wrestling Inc., where he spoke about feuding with Daniel Bryan, wanting a dream match against Roman Reigns, and All Elite Wrestling’s forthcoming debut on TNT.
“Working with him was absolutely amazing,” Cass said about working with Daniel Bryan. “We would call barely anything in the back, and we’d go out for house shows in the main event, and I was really nervous, and he was really calm, and he was like, ‘No, we’re gonna call [the match] out there.’ We would go like 25 to 30 minutes of nothing called except the finishing sequence. He would just walk me through and guide me through the entire match. While it was happening, I was like, ‘This guy is the best in the world. No one can touch him.’ He made me comfortable out there to the point where I could walk through a match with him, twenty minutes without anything called, and just be confident in what I was doing. He is the man.”
Dream Match & Keeping Up With AEW
Cass once said his ultimate dream match would be a WrestleMania clash against Roman Reigns. Given that he is no longer a part of WWE, however, he’s unsure if he’ll ever get another chance against the Big Dog.
“It’s definitely a dream match [to go against Roman Reigns],” Cass explained. “I just don’t know if it’s feasible depending on where I go or what he does; I don’t know what his situation is. I don’t know if it’s feasible, but we shall see.”
He then explained how he has been watching everything AEW has done so far. Cass added he is excited for AEW’s debut on October 2nd, saying that the promotion has put out an amazing product so far.
AEW has released the brackets for their upcoming tag team title tournament, which kicks off on the premiere episode of AEW on TNT.
The promotion did so during the latest episode of Road to TNT on AEW’s official YouTube channel. There are eight teams competing in the tournament.
It should be noted that The Dark Order defeated The Best Friends to earn the first-round bye in the tournament at the AEW All Out pay-per-view event that aired live on Bleacher Report’s streaming service, B/R Live. Here’s the bracket:
The Young Bucks are set to battle Private Party on the second episode of AEW on TNT on October 9 in Boston. The semi-finals of the tournament will take place on the fourth AEW on TNT episode in Pittsburgh.
The bracket comes after AEW announced that fans were able to vote for which team they want to see get the final spot in the tournament.
The first-ever AEW World Tag Team Champions will be crowned with the finals on the fifth AEW TNT episode on October 30 in Charleston, WV.
AEW Tag Team Tournament Brackets
First Round
The Young Bucks vs. Private Party
The Lucha Bros vs. Jurassic Express
So Cal Uncensored vs. Best Friends
Second Round
The Young Bucks or Private Party vs. The Lucha Bros or Jurassic Express
So Cal Uncensored or Best Friends vs. The Dark Order
The #AEW World Tag Team Championship Tournament begins on Wednesday, October 9th in Boston. Here is the complete bracket as seen on Road to @AEWonTNT Episode #3 pic.twitter.com/aA72ns4eDV
During a recent trip to Asia, Kenny Omega took to the time to make some “new friends” before returning to America. This teased collaboration teased a developing relationship that could potentially benefit his promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW).
Taking to social media, ‘The Best Bout Machine’ upload a tweet of him in front of the ONE Championship logo. Omega holds up his finger in the picture, which he accompanied with the following caption:
“Made some new friends before returning to America. You’ll probably see more of us in the future. #oneesportsgg #TNT #AEW”
For those unfamiliar with the promotion, ONCE Championship is a mixed-martial arts company based in Singapore. The promotion launched in 2011 and have signed a number of top Western talent to fight for them.
Despite ONE Championship’s MMA foundation, that’s not all the company provide. They are also involved in e-sports, which is what Kenny Omega’s tweet hints at with its ‘onesportsgg’ hashtag. It’s no secret that Omega is a huge video game fan. He has previously shared his aspirations for AEW to have its very own video game, calling it a top priority.
With that in mind, his announcement will more likely to be related to ONE’s e-sports division as opposed to seeing Omega accepting a fight.
A new match has been officially announced for the premiere episode of AEW on TNT.
The promotion announced during the latest episode of Being The Elite that MJF vs. Brandon Cutler in a singles match will take place.
This contest joins a stacked lineup that is expected to feature the main event of Chris Jericho & mystery partners vs. The Young Bucks & Kenny Omega in a six-man tag team match.
The event will take place on Wednesday, October 2 from the Capital One Arena in Washington, DC. Tickets, which were priced at $250, $90, $75, $50, $35, and $20, went on sale back on August 2 and sold out in a few hours.
Cody Rhodes answered some questions from fans on Twitter yesterday and made some interesting statements during the conversation. Fans asked Cody about AEW television in Canada, his favourite matches, and more.
Fans in Canada are still waiting to hear how they will be able to watch AEW’s weekly television show. Cody told fans in Canada to be patient and insinuated an announcement could be forthcoming.
Many believe the program could end up on TSN, which aired both RAW and Nitro during the Monday Night Wars. RAW would air live on Monday nights on TSN but Nitro was often not broadcast until Wednesday. WWE has since moved its Canadian programming to Sportsnet.
Cody Rhodes Q&A Highlights
Cody also was asked on Twitter what his favourite match of his career was.
Cody also made some interesting comments regarding changes he has seen in the wrestling industry since All In.
“After “All In” I’ve noticed it’s increasingly more talent controlled. Less or zero writers, less corporate agendas, more freedom(which lets the really talented wrestlers shine bright but is also risky for the greener ones). More seasoned talent, more awareness, more listening,” Cody Tweeted.
Despite being known for his penchant for hardcore wrestling, Joey Janela has explained how he doesn’t adhere to a formula.
Speaking with Bleacher Report, Janela detailed that he doesn’t “have a set move set or a formula. A lot of these guys, they get lazy,” he said. “They develop a formula which they use every match. And it makes their matches lack excitement.
He continued, “I’ve always been a good technical wrestler. I’m pretty good at adapting to my opponent. I wrestled a match with Zach Sabre Jr. a couple years ago where we went to a 30-minute time limit draw. Thirty minutes of technical wrestling. That’s the kind of match my critics are never going to watch, because they don’t want to admit I have that aspect.”
Janela is a member of the All Elite Wrestling roster. During their recent show All Out, he participated in a Cracker Barrel Clash triple threat match alongside Jimmy Havoc and Darby Allin.
He called their match “good, harmless fun,” admitting there was some craziness involved throughout. Janela added they were within the boundaries of a PG-14 environment and, had they removed the staple gun, the match could work in a PG environment.
Joey Janela will become a full-time member of AEW when the show debuts on TNT on October 2nd.
Diamond Dallas Page has shared his thoughts on the impending Wednesday Night Wars between WWE’s NXT and All Elite Wrestling’s show on TNT.
The former WCW World Heavyweight Champion recently told the Atlanta Journal Constitution that everybody wants war:
“Hell yeah, everybody always wants war. We don’t want anybody to get killed, but they want war,” he said. “When there’s no competition, things (and) fans get dull. When wrestling really works is when you blur the lines and reality — you don’t know what is reality.”
Despite not being officially signed to All Elite Wrestling, DDP has cameoed for the promotion a number of times. He accompanied Cody Rhodes to the ring during AEW’s All In show, where Cody faced off against NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion, Nick Aldis.
DDP also accompanied Cody to the ring at Double or Nothing and during AEW’s recent All Out event. He joined Brandi Rhodes and MJF in Star Trek outfits, alongside Pharaoh. Cody would end up selecting MJF to second him for his matchup against Shawn Spears. Cody would emerge victorious in his grudge match against Spears.
NXT debuts on USA Network on September 18th. Two weeks later on October 2nd, AEW will air the first episode of their television show on TNT.
Fans are able to vote for which team they want to see get the final spot in the tournament to crown the first-ever AEW World Tag Team Champions.
The promotion did not only announce the poll but also the teams which are Jungleboy and Luchasaurus or the team of Angelico and Jack Evans.
Currently, the poll has 85% have voted for Jungleboy and Luchasaurus.
AEW has already announced that The Young Bucks are battling Private Party will take place on October 9 in Boston at the Agganis Arena. AEW has also noted that the semi-finals of the tournament will take place on the fourth AEW on TNT episode in Pittsburgh.
The first-ever AEW World Tag Team Champions will be crowned with the finals on the fifth AEW TNT episode on October 30 in Charleston, WV.
As of this writing, AEW has yet to release an official list of teams and bracket for the tournament,
We want your help to determine who should get the final spot in the tournament to crown the FIRST AEW World Tag Team Champions… pic.twitter.com/Padn4NV9s0
At AEW Fyter Fest, Best Friends previously defeated SoCal Uncensored and Private Party in a Triple Threat to advance to All Out.
At Fight for the Fallen, Dark Order defeated Jungleboy and Luchasaurus and Evans and Angelico in a Triple Threat to advance.
This is where The Dark Order defeated The Best Friends to earn the first-round bye in the tournament at the AEW All Out pay-per-view event that aired live on Bleacher Report’s streaming service, B/R Live.
All Elite Wrestling’s Marko Stunt recently spoke with media at Starrcast III. He addressed his inclusion into Jurassic Express alongside Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus and the dynamic between them, as well as the freedom that AEW has afforded him.
“Originally, it was just supposed to be me and Jungle Boy, and then those two were already a team there,” Stunt explained. “They were an incredible team, and I just so happened to be put with them. It worked out, and I think we have a super dynamic team because we have something that nobody’s ever seen before. We have a walking dinosaur, a kid that lived in the jungle and an actual kid. How different can you get from that?”
Stunt continued, sharing that AEW has given him all the freedom that he could want.
“I get to go out there and show everyone who Marko Stunt is. Not necessarily who they want Marko Stunt to be, but who I’ve made Marko Stunt be,” he said. “That’s an incredible place to be because it gives me so many more opportunities to learn from what I’m doing and what I could be doing. Down the road, it only goes up.”
Jurassic Express recently competed in a losing effort against SoCal Uncensored during AEW’s All Out pay-per-view on August 31st.
