FTR Crowned New AEW Tag Team Champions at AEW Full Gear 2025

AEW Full Gear 2025 delivered a spectacular turning point for the tag division as new AEW Tag Team Champions were crowned in one of the most intense matches of the night. FTR challenged Brodido (Brody King & Bandido) in a dramatic, high-impact collision that highlighted both teams’ strengths and long-running differences in philosophy. The result was a match that combined violence, strategy, and emotional storytelling, perfectly fitting the prestige of the AEW Tag Team Championship.

This showdown felt special from the moment the bell rang. Brodido entered with massive momentum, a powerful blend of agility and brute force. Meanwhile, FTR, now leaning fully into their ruthless heel identity, came prepared to drag the champions into deep waters. Every moment of the match served as a reminder of why this division remains a pillar of All Elite Wrestling.

Early Offense and a Brutal Shift Outside the Ring

The match began at a furious pace with Bandido and Cash Wheeler setting the tone. Bandido controlled the early exchanges using arm drags and crisp counters that kept both challengers guessing. Even when Dax Harwood tried to interfere, Bandido responded instantly, sending him crashing to the mat. When Brody King entered, the ring turned into a wall of violence. King bullied Dax out of the ring and wiped out both members of FTR, giving Brodido a clear early advantage.

Everything changed when Stokely Hathaway appeared at ringside. His distraction allowed Bandido to commit to a big dive, but FTR capitalized by catching him mid-flight and driving him through the announce table. This became a major turning point. With Bandido broken against the wreckage, FTR slowed the match down and started dissecting him piece by piece, using their signature isolation tactics.

The pace shift was deliberate, calculated, and extremely effective. Every elbow, every chop, and every stomp pushed Brodido further away from the comfort of their usual fast-paced offense. This early foundation helped fuel the eventual championship turnaround.

Brody King Unleashes Havoc and Brodido Fight Back

As the crowd grew increasingly restless, Bandido pushed through the punishment long enough to reach Brody King. The tag triggered a complete momentum shift. King exploded into the ring with a Death Valley Driver on Dax, then hit a devastating Cannonball that crushed both challengers in the corner. His rally reignited the arena and reminded everyone why Brodido became such a dominant pairing.

FTR tried to stop the surge with their Proud & Glory setup, but King’s size and strength broke the attempt apart. Bandido flew back into the match with fast pin attempts and a powerful Press Slam that launched Cash onto Dax at ringside. Moments later, Bandido delivered a dive that wiped them both out, giving Brodido their strongest stretch of the match.

The champions then connected with the 21 Plex, coming seconds away from retaining the AEW Tag Team Championship. The fans believed it. Brodido believed it. But FTR refused to break.

Interference, Chaos, and the Final Turning Point

The closing sequence erupted into pure chaos. Cash grabbed one of the belts to swing momentum, and Brody King tried to stop him. In the struggle, Cash accidentally struck Bandido with the title. Dax immediately tried to steal the win, but Bandido kicked out, creating one of the loudest reactions of the night.

Brodido responded with their own version of the Shatter Machine, nearly finishing the match in poetic fashion. Afterward, Bandido reversed a Doomsday Device, again coming within inches of victory. However, FTR regained control by choking King on the ropes, then sending him crashing onto the apron with a brutal Spike Piledriver.

Inside the ring, Bandido endured another Piledriver but defiantly stood up, pointing at FTR in a final act of heart. It wasn’t enough. One last Shatter Machine connected cleanly, sealing the match and the championship victory.
