Fans Stunned as Brodido Captures AEW World Tag Team Titles

Bandido & Brody King, known as the tag team, Brodido, celebrate after capturing the AEW World tag team championship on August 24, 2025 

The AEW fanbase is buzzing after one of the most shocking finishes in recent memory — Brodido walked out of a triple threat war as the new AEW World Tag Team Champions, defeating The Hurt Syndicate and FTR in an upset nobody saw coming.

“No Way That Just Happened”

Social media exploded the moment the referee’s hand hit the mat for the three-count. Many fans in the arena were literally on their feet, jaws dropped, while those watching at home jumped online to post reactions ranging from disbelief to wild celebration.

“I thought FTR had it in the bag. Then Brodido came outta nowhere. What a moment!” one fan posted on X.

“This is why I love AEW tag wrestling — you never know when the underdogs are gonna shock the world,” another fan wrote.​

The Match Everyone Will Remember

The match itself was a rollercoaster. FTR had the crowd convinced they were about to notch another classic win, while the Hurt Syndicate’s sheer aggression made it feel like they could bulldoze their way to the belts at any moment. Brodido, however, turned the chaos to their advantage, taking risks that paid off when it mattered most.

The closing moments saw all three teams trading finishers in a frantic scramble. Just when it seemed FTR were about to put it away, Brodido slipped in with a surprise double-team and scored the pin. The crowd reaction said it all — stunned silence turning into a thunderous eruption.

A Tag Division Shaken Up

For years, AEW’s tag team scene has been dominated by big names and established legends. Brodido’s win signals a fresh direction and injects new energy into the division.

Fans are already speculating on what comes next. Will FTR demand an immediate rematch? How will the Hurt Syndicate respond after being robbed of the spotlight? And most importantly — can Brodido prove they belong at the very top, or was this a one-night shocker?

Regardless of what happens next, AEW fans will be talking about this upset for a long time.
