The end of the ongoing AEW Tag Team title eliminator tournament is now in sight following Thursday’s AEW Collision.

The first finalist is now official as FTR defeated The Bang Bang Gang (Austin Gunn & Juice Robinson) in a semifinal bout. The former AEW Tag Team Champions beat JetSpeed (Mike Bailey & Kevin Knight) in their quarterfinal match while Gunn & Robinson upended Bryan Keith & Big Bill.

FTR now awaits the winner of The Young Bucks vs. Brodido in the finals. Brody King & ROH World Champion Bandido defeated The Gates of Agony (Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona) on Thursday to advance to the semifinals against the Jackson brothers.

The winner of the tournament will challenge reigning champions The Hurt Syndicate (Shelton Benjamin & Bobby Lashley) at August’s AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door in London, England.

FTR is looking for their third run with the gold and first since October 2023 while the Bucks want their fourth run and first since October 2024. King and Bandido have never held the titles.
