The Young Bucks Regain AEW Tag Team Championship in Three-Way Ladder Match

The Young Bucks have once again ascended to the top of the All Elite Wrestling (AEW) tag team division, capturing their fourth AEW Tag Team Championship. The victory came in a high-stakes, three-way ladder match at AEW All Out on September 26, 2026, where they faced the reigning champions, Adam Copeland and Christian Cage, as well as the reunited FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler).

The intensely physical match featured numerous dramatic spots and high-risk maneuvers. Harwood and Copeland engaged in a dangerous sequence atop a ladder, with Harwood executing a suplex that sent Copeland crashing onto the ladder. Cage and Wheeler also delivered impactful moves from the turnbuckles onto their opponents on the floor.

Another notable moment saw Cash Wheeler take a dive through a table from the ring to the floor. FTR's momentum was seemingly halted when they were unable to secure a victory after hitting their signature Shatter Machine finisher on The Young Bucks. In a climactic sequence, Matt and Nick Jackson climbed a tall ladder positioned over tables where Harwood and Copeland lay, performing aerial maneuvers. They ultimately retrieved the championship belts to seal their victory.

This marks the fourth championship reign for The Young Bucks, extending their record for the most tag team title reigns in AEW history. Their win concluded Copeland and Cage's championship run at 125 days. The Young Bucks' previous title victory was in April 2024 at the Dynasty event. They are slated to face Kevin Knight and Kyle Fletcher in their next defense.
