Tonight’s AEW Dynamite from Austin was headlined by the Acclaimed defending the tag team championship against FTR, a match that many were heavily anticipating due to the hot year had by both teams.
The contest was as competitive as expected, with the live crowd eating up every moment and screaming “This Is Awesome” by the end. FTR hit the Big Rig and had Max Caster beat, but Anthony Bowens made a last second save to keep his team alive. The final stretch saw Wheeler hit Caster with a powerbomb and go for a cradle, but Caster smartly countered with a pin and The Acclaimed remain champions.
Highlights from the matchup can be found below.
