There are new champions in AEW.
AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door went down at the O2 Arena in London. The AEW World Tag Team Titles were also defended in a hard-hitting match.
The AEW Tag Team Championship was defended in a three-way match as The Hurt Syndicate, represented by Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin, put their titles on the line against the team of Brodido, made up of Brody King and Bandido, and FTR.
Fans in the O2 Arena filled the air with We Hurt People chants in sing-song fashion throughout this match. Although the fans made their pick very clear, every team had a chance to show off in this match to hurt their opponents.
Midway through the match, two masked men in NJPW gear attacked Bobby Lashley. Then a chair was introduced into the match to Dax Harwood, but Bandido kicked it into his face. The match continued as Brody took an unprotected chair shot, but he kicked out at two. Then it was revealed that Ricochet and his cronies were the ones who attacked Lashley. This led some fans to question why they would come in masked only to reveal themselves during the match.
The contest carried on as Bandido nailed a double team move to win the match. This crowned Brodido as the new AEW World Tag Team Champions.
We will keep a close eye on what the Hurt Syndicate does next. At this rate, they are on pace to do even greater things in AEW. After all, they have a lot of stories left to tell, especially after losing the titles like this.
