Every AEW Tag Team Ranked From Worst To Best
2. FTR
FTR have only been in AEW for a matter of weeks but have fast become one of the company's must-see acts, not only for successfully melding their Brain Busters/Midnight Express-inspired classicism with AEW's modernity, but also partaking in one of wrestling's most layered ongoing storylines.
A multi-faceted relationship exists between Hangman Page and Kenny Omega, FTR, and The Young Bucks. An extension of The Elite's civil war, it now has Hardwood and Wheeler simultaneously building respect and animosity with the Bucks, nothing but animosity with Omega, and nothing but respect with Page. It's fascinating, and FTR have played their roles perfectly.
The in-ring is sublime every time out. There's no such thing as subpar work when FTR are involved, whether they're squashing jobbers on Dark or going back and forth with The Lucha Brothers.
The best part? They aren't even close to peaking yet.
1. Hangman Page & Kenny Omega
The idea that Hangman Page and Kenny Omega was ever a thrown-together tag team was ridiculous from the start, as they'd been stablemates for over three years prior to linking up as an AEW tandem, though their ascension to Best Tag Team in the World status has been no less impressive.
Every match is a banger with these guys. It doesn't matter if we're talking about a big pay-per-view throwdown or a 10-minuter on Dynamite: their output is exemplary. Their benchmark, of course, is the Revolution bout, and while considering whether or not something is the "greatest match ever" mere hours after it has gone down is daft, it was state-of-the-art stuff. The kind of dramatic explosion we only get once or twice a year.
Match quality, character work, and chemistry make Hangman and Kenny's one of the best title reigns on the planet. Luxuriate in their work while they're still together.
