After spending most of 2023 teaming with The Elite in multi-person matches, The Young Bucks has made it known that they’re finally coming back to compete full-time in the AEW Tag Team Division; instantly putting every unit in the locker room on notice. One of said units that immediately took the challenge is the “GOATs” of tag team wrestling The Hardys.
Matt and Jeff Hardy stated that if Matt and Nick Jackson are coming back to the tag division, they better do it in a big way. That said, what match is bigger than these two iconic teams competing against one another? Short answer: little to nothing. The Bucks accepted the challenge, setting up a monumental matchup between the two teams. It’ll be The Hardys versus The Young Bucks!
Who will lay claim to the title of the “best brother tag team in professional wrestling?
The Whole F’n Show Takes Over Wednesday Nights

The new FTW Champion Jack Perry seemingly has finally bitten off more than he could chew when he ruffled the feathers of Jerry Lynn and some of the people the legend is close with. On last week’s Dynamite, Perry was once again running his mouth, saying that he’s ready to whoop Lynn’s butt in Tampa, Florida, fully knowing that Jerry is in no condition to compete.
However, Lynn had somebody in mind to take his place in the quest to take away the FTW Title from Jack Perry and silence him once and for all. That somebody is none other than the “Whole F’n Show” Rob Van Dam. With a hot Florida crowd fully behind him, RVD did not waste time and challenged Jack Perry for an FTW Title Match. Not long after, regardless of whether Jack Perry liked it or not, AEW higher-ups made the call and the bout official.
On the 201st episode of AEW Dynamite, Rob Van Dam makes his in-ring AEW debut as he faces off against Jack Perry for the FTW Championship in an “FTW Rules” match. This is a dream match many fans thought they would never see. Yet, here we are! Jack Perry, Rob Van Dam, FTW Championship Match! It all goes down this Wednesday night only on TBS!
