Bandido and Brody King, an unexpected duo dubbed “Brodid” by fans, secured another win in the AEW Tag Team Eliminator Tournament on AEW Dynamite against the Young Bucks. Their next challenge will be against FTR’s Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler, with the victor earning a shot at the AEW World Tag Team Championship against the Hurt Business at Forbidden Door.
The match was intense, with the former EVPs Matt and Nick Jackson initially seeming to have the upper hand. The Young Bucks tried to isolate Bandido by targeting King and leaving him alone in the ring. However, Bandido exploited the Bucks’ tactics, allowing King to make a strong comeback. King struck with a cannonball and cleared the ring, setting up Bandido for an offensive move using the ropes. Though “Brodid” missed a double-team maneuver, the Bucks retaliated with a superkick and other moves, but King managed to break the pin at a critical moment.
The battle extended beyond the ring, even reaching the barricades. Bandido landed a 21 plex on Nick, only for Matt to intervene. Bandido then executed a powerful slam to remove Nick from the ropes, and King assisted by flipping Bandido over to Nick, continuing their relentless fight.
Fan Take: This surprising streak by Bandido and Brody King adds fresh excitement to AEW’s tag team division, showcasing the unpredictability and depth of talent in the promotion. Their continued success could shake up the championship scene and bring new rivalries and storylines that will engage and thrill AEW fans.
