FTR successfully defended their AEW World Tag Team Championships against Jake Doyle and Mark Davis of the Don Callis Family on this week’s episode of “AEW Dynamite,” with some crucial interference from the Death Riders. Doyle and Davis earned their title shot two weeks ago after winning a Tornado tag team match against Jet Speed, FTR, and Gates of Agony.
The match began with Doyle and Cash Wheeler facing off, as the Don Callis Family members controlled the early action against Doyle and Dax Harwood. At one point, Doyle tried to send Harwood to the top rope, but Wheeler countered by slamming Harwood face-first into the ring apron. Davis then charged Harwood on the ropes, but Harwood responded with a suplex. Wheeler hit a splash soon after, yet Davis managed to kick out.
Davis also reversed the shutter machine into a sleeper pin attempt on Harwood, but the champion showed resilience. The turning point came when the Death Riders, led by Jon Moxley, surrounded the ring, and Moxley struck Davis with the AEW Continental Championship belt. Seizing the moment, FTR executed the shutter machine and Harwood pinned Davis to retain their titles.
Fan Take:
This victory solidifies FTR’s dominance in AEW’s tag team division, showing they’ll go to great lengths—including outside help—to maintain their reign. For fans, it sets up intriguing future rivalries and raises the stakes for both FTR and the challengers, potentially shifting dynamics in AEW’s tag team landscape.
