This week on AEW Collision, the AEW World Tag Team Champions FTR, consisting of Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler, stunned fans by launching an attack on the family members of the Young Bucks. The incident unfolded during the evening’s tag team match, generating tension and heated emotions inside the arena.
The Young Bucks began the night strongly by securing a victory over Blake Christian and Lee Johnson in a preliminary tag match. This win was significant as it positioned them well ahead of their highly anticipated title match. However, the mood shifted drastically during FTR’s main event tag match against The Rascalz, which had the added stipulation that if The Rascalz were victorious, they would earn a shot at the World Tag Team Championships.
While the match progressed, Harwood and Wheeler targeted the Young Bucks’ family seated at ringside, heightening the intensity of the confrontation. When The Rascalz managed a surprise victory over the champions, chaos erupted. The confrontation culminated in Harwood and Wheeler assaulting Malachi Jackson, the Young Bucks’ brother, with a devastating Spike Piledriver.
Following the show’s conclusion, Dax Harwood took to Instagram to taunt the Young Bucks’ family, branding them “a little fake family” and insinuating that their mother was the fiercest member among them.
“Little fake tough family. I was more afraid of the mom than anyone,” Dax wrote.
Upcoming Championship Clash Amplified by Family Attack
The attack left Matt and Nick Jackson visibly distraught, as they hurried to the ring after their brother Malachi was brutally taken down. This violent moment adds a new layer of emotional strain for the Young Bucks as they prepare for their upcoming title defense.
The Young Bucks are slated to defend their AEW World Tag Team Championships against FTR at Revolution 2026. The events from Collision are expected to heavily influence the rivalry, potentially affecting the mental focus and motivation of the tag team champions as the showdown approaches.
