FTR and The Infantry Exchange Words Ahead of Tournament Debut
Summary
– The tournament to crown new AEW Tag Team Champions will commence on next week’s episode.
– The titles have been vacant since AEW Revolution following Sting’s retirement.
– FTR and The Infantry engage in a verbal confrontation, setting the stage for the tournament.
The highly anticipated tournament to determine the new AEW Tag Team Champions is set to launch on next week’s episode, as announced on Collision. Since AEW Revolution, where Sting and Darby Allin relinquished the titles due to Sting’s retirement, the tag team division has been awaiting its new champions. However, teams or tournament brackets have yet to be officially unveiled.
During Collision, FTR clarified their intentions, expressing their desire to compete in the tournament and secure the AEW Tag Team titles for a third time. Their declaration was met with an unexpected interruption from Capt. Shawn Dean and Carlie Bravo, collectively known as The Infantry. Despite exchanging pleasantries, tensions escalated as FTR dismissed any association with their past as The Revival, affirming that the era was over.
Sting and Darby Allin’s reign as champions culminated at Revolution, where they triumphed over The Young Bucks. Their victory marked a memorable chapter in AEW’s tag team division, following their initial title win against Ricky Starks and Big Bill on a previous episode of AEW Dynamite.
With the tournament on the horizon and tensions running high between FTR and The Infantry, anticipation continues to mount as AEW gears up for its next chapter in tag team wrestling.
