The Young Bucks have reclaimed the top spot in the All Elite Wrestling (AEW) tag team division. Adam Copeland and Christian Cage put their AEW Tag Team Championship on the line against Matt and Nick Jackson, and Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler, known as FTR, who made a return to the scene at All In. The title was contested in a thrilling three-way ladder match at All Out.
For fans familiar with Copeland and Cage’s careers, their participation in the ladder match paralleled the experience of watching Michael Jordan play at the United Center. The match was filled with high-impact moves and intense moments.
“The match was almost as exciting as watching Jordan cook defenses on the court.”
During a critical moment, Harwood and Copeland faced each other atop a ladder while another was positioned perpendicular to the ropes. Harwood executed a suplex on Copeland onto the ladder. Simultaneously, Cage and Wheeler reached the top turnbuckles and each delivered a powerful splash on Harwood and Copeland.
In a separate sequence, Wheeler was propelled through a table from the ring to the floor. Matt Jackson then positioned Harwood on a table, allowing Nick Jackson to leap into a 450 splash on the competitor.
Another memorable moment saw the Young Bucks climbing a tall ladder while Harwood and Copeland lay across tables below. They each performed an elbow drop and a splash, with Wheeler observing the scene. Spotting an opening, Wheeler executed a suicide dive through the middle of the ladder onto Cage.
The arena was a scene of chaos with bodies all around. The outcome hinged on determination. Despite enduring a Shatter Machine from FTR, the Young Bucks prevailed. Matt and Nick Jackson ascended the ladder, capturing the title belts.
This victory marks the fourth AEW Tag Team Championship reign for the Young Bucks, solidifying their position as the team with the most tag team titles in AEW history. Their triumph ended Copeland and Cage’s reign at 125 days. This is the Young Bucks’ first title since their April 2024 win at Dynasty.
The new champions are expected to face Kevin Knight and Kyle Fletcher next.
