Bandido and Brody King, the odd pairing now often known as “Brodido” amongst fans, scored one other victory within the AEW Tag Team Eliminator Tournament on “AEW Dynamite” over the Young Bucks. The team advances to tackle FTR’s Dax Hardwood and Money Wheeler, and the victors of that match will face the Hurt Syndicate for the AEW World Tag Team Championships at Forbidden Door.
The teams battled backwards and forwards, with the previous EVPs Matt and Nick Jackson looking like that had the match won at multiple points. The Bucks attempted to isolate Bandido throughout the match by keeping King down or out of the ring.
Bandido capitalized off the Bucks’ miscommunication on an attempted EVP trigger, also allowing for King to get back up. King hit a cannonball to Matt, then one other on the surface to each Bucks. King helped launch Bandido on the ropes to take out their opponents yet again. “Brodido” missed their double team move and Nick hit a Canadian Destroyer on Bandido. The Bucks took out King with superkicks, then hit a TK Driver on Bandido. By some means, King was in a position to break up the pin.
The battle spilled to the surface and even on the ring barricade for awhile, but Bandido was in a position to hit a 21 Plex on Nick, but Matt broke the autumn. Bandido hit a fallaway slam to Nick off the ropes, and King flipped Bandido onto Nick, who then hit a standing shooting star press onto the previous EVP for the win.
