AEW Full Gear: 10 Things That Must Happen
4. Proud 'N' Powerful Shock The Young Bucks
The Young Bucks are so over with AEW's loyal audience that they don't need wins to maintain their star power.
Across the ring, Santana and Ortiz are trying to cement their place as the premier heel tag-team in AEW. The differences to both teams' current standings with fans means only one result makes sense: Proud 'N' Powerful grab the win from Matt and Nick, and they rub that success in their faces before The Jacksons gather round a monitor to watch their pal Cody later in the show.
This will be the resident bump festival on the card. One has to tolerate a lack of selling when watching any Bucks match, and the same goes for basic psychology. They're spot monkeys, but damn good ones; the way the Bucks work absolutely thrills AEW's core fanbase, and their popularity is sufficient enough that putting over the Inner Circle boys here will mean something.
The best outcome is that Santana and Ortiz use violence to shut down any 'Superkick Party' attempts, and they stand proudly over Nick and Matt screaming Inner Circle's name. After that, the violence can be intensified elsewhere...
