New AAA Tag Champs Crowned On AEW Dynamite
Your new AAA World Tag Team Champions are... Las Super Ranas.
With Andrade El Idolo promising to bring in a mystery masked team to dethrone Lucha Bros. for the AAA World Tag Team Titles on last night's AEW Dynamite, your new AAA Tag Champs are Las Super Ranas.
Of course, Las Super Ranas, aka The Super Frogs, were actually the FTR tandem of Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler.
The match itself was a barnburner, with FTR looking to slow down their opponents at every turn, while Lucha Bros. pulled out plenty of their usual crazy offense to try and retain the gold. It took a belt shot from Tully Blanchard and a Brainbuster from Dax to Rey Fenix to get the W for the former Revival.
Taking to Twitter, the new AAA Tag Team Champs were quick to celebrate their victory:
Honored to carry and defend these prestigious pieces of lucha history. It’s not easy being the greatest tag team of a generation, but we’ll wear that responsibility with pride. Thank you @AndradeElIdolo. Long live Las Super Ranas#AEWDyanmite#LivingLegendLuchadores #GTTOAT pic.twitter.com/6muxedIaPU

It was later revealed how MJF had loaned FTR to Andrade for the evening, with the one-time NXT Champion having paid Freidman for the use of Max's Pinnacle brothers.
Elsewhere on last night's Dynamite, Malakai Black defeated a spirited Dante Martin, Jon Moxley made quick work of Wheeler YUTA, The SuperKliq beat The Dark Order's John Silver, Alex Reynolds and Evil Uno, Kiera Hogan tapped out to Penelope Ford, and Bryan Danielson bested Bobby Fish.
This most recent Dynamite offering also furthered the rivalries between Hangman Page and Kenny Omega, Hikaru Shida and Serena Deeb, Ruby Soho and Penelope Ford, Britt Baker and Anna Jay/Tay Conti, and MJF and Darby Allin/Sting. We also got official confirmation of the brackets for the upcoming AEW World Title Eliminator Tournament.
