Tag Team title match confirmed for AEW All In
The AEW Tag Team titles will be on the line as part of next month’s AEW All In: Texas as The Hurt Syndicate will defend against JetSpeed (“Speedball” Mike Bailey & Kevin Knight).
The match was made during Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite after Bailey and Knight defeated Ricochet & AR Fox, issuing a challenge to Shelton Benjamin & Bobby Lashley afterward. Joined by MJF and MVP, the champions then attacked and decimated the would-be challengers from behind, punctuating the violence by putting Knight on a table and chokeslamming Bailey on him, breaking the table in half.
Afterward, MVP said they would accept if Bailey and Knight could walk again.
Knight and Bailey have had the champions in their sights for several weeks. Teaming with Mascara Dorada at Summer Blockbuster, they fell to Lashley, Benjamin and MJF and go into the match on a two-bout win streak.
Lashley and Benjamin have been dominant since joining the AEW roster. First winning the titles in late-January, they have successfully defended them five times with the last coming at May’s Double or Nothing over the Sons of Texas.
