AEW President Tony Khan has provided an update on the status of the current AEW World Tag Team Champion amid injury concerns ahead of Tuesday’s Dynamite event. The AEW champion is scheduled to participate in a critical tag team match despite his recent injury.
Bandido, the AEW World Tag Team Champion, remains doubtful due to an injury sustained at a recent CMLL event, raising questions about his readiness for the upcoming match. Nevertheless, he is slated to team with Brody King in a tag team bout against Kazuchika Okada and Konosuke Takeshita, members of the Don Callis Family, in what promises to be a high-profile encounter this Tuesday night.
Bandido’s Injury and Confirmation to Compete on Dynamite
Bandido and Brody King, the reigning AEW World Tag Team Champions, have been performing strongly since winning the titles at Forbidden Door 2025. Their reign has included multiple successful title defenses, cementing them as fighting champions in AEW. The upcoming match against Okada and Takeshita is a title eliminator, adding significant weight to the contest’s outcome.
Concerns about Bandido’s shoulder injury surfaced after a recent appearance in CMLL. Brody King publicly urged his partner to brace through the pain and compete in their Dynamite tag matchup. Tony Khan later confirmed on the social platform X that he spoke with Bandido, who expressed determination to wrestle despite the injury:
“I talked to him this morning! He said that he wants to power through it + wrestle on Tuesday!” Tony wrote.
AEW’s Intense Week Building to Dynamite and Collision: Homecoming
This week will be pivotal for AEW, featuring changes in scheduling and major shows centered in Jacksonville, Florida. Dynamite will air on Tuesday rather than its usual Wednesday slot, while Collision: Homecoming is set for Saturday at Daily’s Place, marking a packed week of action for AEW fans.
Tony Khan underscored the significance of this week in AEW programming by sharing the event lineup on X, emphasizing the eventful schedule and encouraging fans not to miss any of the action:
“It feels like a PPV week here in Jacksonville, FL @dailysplace! AEW Homecoming THIS WEEK! Don’t miss Saturday #AEWCollision Homecoming on both TNT + @SportsonMax THIS SATURDAY! + TITLE TUESDAY THIS WEEK 48 hours from NOW That’s right: TUESDAY Dynamite! #AEWDynamite THIS TUESDAY!” Tony wrote.
This week’s card includes multiple high-stakes matches on Dynamite’s Title Tuesday, along with the Collision: Homecoming event. The developments across these shows may have important implications for AEW’s championship landscape and ongoing storylines.
Implications of Bandido’s Participation Amid Injury
Bandido’s commitment to compete despite his injury highlights the intensity and uncertainty surrounding AEW’s current tag team division. His participation is critical for maintaining the champions’ momentum against formidable opponents such as Okada and Takeshita.
If Bandido succeeds alongside Brody King, it will reinforce their position at the top of AEW’s tag team ranks. Conversely, any setback could pave the way for new challengers to emerge, reshaping title dynamics ahead of Collision: Homecoming and subsequent AEW events.
The unfolding situation around this champion’s injury and his scheduled involvement underscores the resilience expected in professional wrestling, where physical setbacks frequently meet with determination and high-risk performances. AEW fans will be watching closely on Tuesday to see how this storyline evolves in real time.
