The Young Bucks earn future AEW Tag Team title shot at WrestleDream

The Young Bucks are the new number one contenders to the AEW World Tag Team Championship. 

The Bucks defeated The Lucha Bros, The Gunns, plus the duo of Orange Cassidy & Hook at Sunday’s WrestleDream pay-per-view in Seattle to earn a future Tag Team title shot. As stated in the promotion of the match, The Young Bucks can now challenge for the titles “at any time.”

The Bucks are now next in line to challenge the winners of Sunday’s AEW Tag Team Championship match between title holders FTR and their challengers Aussie Open.

Aside from the Young Bucks victory, the biggest news coming out of the four-way was an injury angle involving Rey Fenix. 

Fenix was removed from the match shortly after it began. Our Bryan Alvarez reports that the decision was made to take Fenix out of the match early to protect him for his International Championship defense against Nick Jackson set for this Wednesday’s Dynamite Anniversary episode. 

Alvarez noted that Fenix is “banged up.”

AEW’s Tony Khan posted on social media last week that Fenix was injured in his International title match at Dynamite Grand Slam against Jon Moxley in a match where Moxley was also injured. Fenix was cleared to return to action on last week’s Dynamite, while Moxley has yet to return to the ring. 

Moxley did make multiple appearances at the commentary desk on Sunday’s WrestleDream show.
