FTR remain AEW World Tag Team Champions, securing the win against Jake Doyle and Mark Davis of The Don Callis Family on “AEW Dynamite” with a controversial assist. The victory, punctuated by interference, keeps the title firmly in the grasp of Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood.
A Hard-Fought Battle with a decisive Turn
What led to FTR retaining their titles on AEW Dynamite? The answer lies in a combination of skillful wrestling and unexpected intervention, ultimately solidifying their reign as champions.
Davis and Doyle earned their title shot two weeks prior, triumphing over JetSpeed, FTR, and the gates of Agony in a chaotic four-way tornado tag match. The stage was set for a clash of styles and power on the January 28th edition of “AEW Dynamite.”
The match began with a fierce exchange between Doyle and Wheeler, with The Don Callis Family duo initially dominating through sheer strength. Doyle impressively hoisted Harwood to the top rope, but Wheeler swiftly countered with a face-first slam onto the ring apron. Davis then engaged Harwood on the ropes, only for Harwood to deliver a powerful suplex. Wheeler followed up with a splash, but Davis managed to kick out.
As davis attempted to lock in a sleeper hold on Harwood, the tide began to turn. The Death Riders, led by Jon Moxley, suddenly surrounded the ring. Moxley then struck Davis with his Continental Championship belt, creating an opening for FTR. Capitalizing on the opportunity, FTR executed the Shatter Machine, and Harwood secured the pinfall victory.
The interference by Jon Moxley and The Death Riders proved pivotal in FTR’s victory, raising questions about the future dynamics within AEW.
Looking Ahead for FTR
This win continues FTR’s impressive run as AEW World Tag Team champions. The controversial finish, however, suggests that their challengers, and perhaps even Moxley and The Death Riders, aren’t finished with them yet. The wrestling world will be watching closely to see how this storyline unfolds.
