Tony Khan is mad as hell, and he's not going to take The Young Bucks' chicanery anymore...

The Young Bucks will learn their All Out 2021 opponents by way of a World Tag Team Championship Eliminator Tournament, which kicks off on this week's episode of AEW Rampage.

The competition was put together on last night's Dynamite. Interviewed (alongside the rest of the Super Elite) by Tony Schiavone after cheating their way to another successful title defence against Jurassic Express, Matt and Nick Jackson were told that AEW founder Tony Khan had had enough of their shenanigans. To punish them, he has put the tournament together, with the winners facing the Bucks inside a steel cage on 5 September.

Jurassic Express, Private Party, the Lucha Brothers, and the Varsity Blonds are the four teams involved. Jurassic and Private Party will kick things off on this week's episode of Rampage.

All four teams have history with The Young Bucks. The Blonds and (obviously) Jurassic have both wrestled the Bucks this year, while the Lucha Brothers were the Jacksons' first big AEW feud and Private Party upset the champs in the company's initial Tag Team Title Tournament in 2019.

All Out 2021 will be the second traditional cage match in AEW history, with Cody Rhodes vs. Wardlow (Dynamite - 19 February 2020) the first.
