At AEW Fright Night Dynamite, Private Party (Zay & Quen) captured the AEW Tag Team Championships, defeating The Young Bucks (Matthew Jackson & Nicholas Jackson). This was after Private Party put over the Young Bucks at WrestleDream.
While appearing on Talk Is Jericho with Chris Jericho, it was mentioned there was talk of them winning the titles at WrestleDream.
Jericho said, “There were some other plans that were kind of in the wind, but that really stuck after that match.”
“We were promised stuff early and I was like, ‘I’ll believe it when I see it.’ I think it was the day of when it hit me. We came in, ‘Can you sign this, sign this. You got new t-shirts, but you can’t wear this until after the match.’ That’s when I was like, ‘Okay, it’s going down,'” said Quen.
Zay added, “We got told this the week after (WrestleDream) we were going to win the belts. I don’t believe it because anything can change. We had the six-man and then I cut a promo against the Bucks saying if we lose, we split up. I said, ‘I’m not going to believe it until I cut that promo and see the graphic.’ I cut the promo and was like, ‘We can’t go back now.’ I see the graphic, ‘If Private Party loses, they split up.’ Okay, now I believe it. That’s when I call my mom and said, ‘Hey, take off of work. I’m going to fly you guys out.’ I told her a lie. ‘This is going to be our last match.’ I didn’t tell her we were going to win the championships because I wanted her to be surprised. ‘This is our last match. I want you to be there to witness it because you witnessed all of our career.'”
