FTR Saved The Acclaimed
AEW World Tag Team Champions The Acclaimed made their way to the ring with a big reaction from the crowd. Billy Gunn had his hands taped up because Swerve Strickland attacked them with pliers. They put a foam scissor hand on Billy so he could still scissor with the team. They also gave Daddy Ass a World’s Greatest Dad trophy.
Bowens and Caster then produced a certificate for adoption and the crowd chanted “sign it!”. Gunn Club interrupted and provided a distraction as W. Morrissey attacked from behind. ROH Tag Team Champions FTR made the save and The Firm retreated. FTR then took a look at the AEW Tag Team Championships before handing them to The Acclaimed and backing away.
