In 2025, AEW is placing renewed emphasis on its men’s and women’s tag team divisions. The tag team scene in AEW feels more dynamic and energetic than it has in years, thanks to the rise of new teams like Brodid and Jet Speed, alongside established stars such as FTR and The Young Bucks. This momentum has been further boosted by the introduction of the AEW Women’s Tag Team Championships.
Looking ahead to 2026, AEW is exploring talent from the free agent market, with several potential new duos that could significantly impact the tag team division. One such promising team is The Midnight Heat, consisting of “Rockin’” Ricky Gibson and “Precious” Eddie Pearl. Having already competed against top teams like FTR within AEW, The Midnight Heat demonstrate strong chemistry and could be ready to make a major leap by officially joining AEW soon.
Fan Take: This development is exciting for AEW fans eager to see fresh talent in the tag team ranks. Adding skilled tag teams like The Midnight Heat could elevate the competition and bring new storylines and excitement to the sport’s tag team scene.
