All Elite Wrestling was founded on the strength of its tag team division, and two of the company’s founders, The Young Bucks (Matthew and Nicholas Jackson), recently shared their thoughts on the current state of tag team wrestling in AEW. Over the past year, several new teams have emerged as major players in the division, bringing new styles and fresh matchups to the forefront. The multi-time former AEW World Tag Team Champions have taken notice of this influx of new talent and believe it has been a significant positive for the entire roster.
During a recent appearance on The Takedown on SI, Matt and Nick Jackson were asked about the recent changes to the tag team division. Matt Jackson specifically singled out two teams that he believes have made a major impact in 2025.
“You know who’s really just caught my eye, and the rest of the world’s eye it seems like, is a team like JetSpeed, a team like Brodido, who are the current champions. They came out of nowhere and it has been so fresh. I think the addition of those two teams specifically have really helped spark the tag division in 2025. It’s really helped us out because it’s given us new teams to play with.”
He also compared the current roster’s depth to the early days of the company, which was renowned for its tag team wrestling.
“it’s probably the most elite tag division since the beginning when AEW first started. I would put 2019 AEW up with 2025 any day of the week.”
The Young Bucks are set for a high-stakes match of their own at the AEW WrestleDream pay-per-view tomorrow night, Saturday, October 18. After months of storyline turmoil and betrayal, the brothers will go up against the reunited Jurassic Express (Jack Perry and Luchasaurus). The grudge match has a $500,000 prize on the line, a direct result of The Young Bucks winning that same amount in a 10-man tag team match on a recent episode of AEW Dynamite. The bout at WrestleDream will be the culmination of the story that began when Jack Perry made his surprise return at All Out and viciously attacked his former Elite stablemates.
