FTR are your new IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions, overcoming an injury en route to defeating Roppongi Vice and United Empire's Jeff Cobb and Great-O-Khan.

Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler also successfully defended their Ring of Honor tag titles, which were on the line in the winner-take-all three-way tag bout. The duo also currently holds the AAA World Tag Team Championship.

The fast-paced match saw Dax taken out early on with an apparent shoulder injury, leading him to be walked to the back. Cash endured a beating from United Empire until he could tag out to Roppongi Vice, which led to the match continuing between all five men until Harwood returned, all taped up.

Power moves and near-falls finally gave way to FTR isolating Rocky Romero and nailing him with the Big Rig for the pin and the titles.

The win means FTR are the hottest tag team in AEW, save maybe for the current AEW World Tag Team Champions, the Young Bucks. The win also means Dax and Cash will likely turn their belt-collecting sights to the Bucks in the very near future.
