The Young Bucks are a trailblazing tag team in AEW. The brothers are fun and cool to watch. Both of them are incredible performers capable of having fantastic matches anywhere on the card.

Matt and Nick Jackson could be the best tag team in the world right now. But one thing that has not been so great is having them win the AEW World Tag Team Championships.

There could be plenty of reasons behind it, but one that instantly comes to mind is that The Young Bucks are AEW's executive vice presidents. This means that part of the booking power and creative control resides with them. So it's not unfair for a fan to wish to see some other tag team with the titles instead.

We know that the team that dethrones The Young Bucks will get a huge push, alongside a title reign that could be historic. Let's take a look at five such tag teams that can accomplish this feat.


#5 Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky to shine in AEW

The newly formed alliance of "All Ego" Ethan Page and Scorpio Sky is one team to look out for. Scorpio Sky turned heel by attacking Darby Allin after a fantastic match for the TNT Championship. That turn has created a separation between SCU and Sky for now.

Ethan Page debuted in the "Face of the Revolution" ladder match at AEW Revolution. After feeling overshadowed by Christian Cage's debut, he has been slowly charting a course to get to the top anyhow. When both Sky and Page formed an alliance, a tag team with a purpose was born.

To claim recognition, Scorpio Sky decided to team up with Ethan Page. The duo squared off against the Sydal brothers to clinch their first-ever win as a tag team in AEW Dark: Elevation.

Both men are undeniably talented and have had tag team experience. Ethan Page has enjoyed his recent run with Impact Wrestling as a dominant tag team wrestler representing "The North." The North's reign of the Impact World Tag Team Championship is the longest in the title's history.

It would be a suitable fit for Page, with his new partner Sky, to try and reach the same highs as he did over at Impact. The formidable duo could win the tag team championships by making a big statement and putting the whole tag team division on notice.

#4 Best Friends as AEW Tag Team Champions

After a series of long and monotonous matches between Best Friends against Miro and Kip Sabian in AEW, it's time for everyone involved to move on.

Chuck Taylor and Trent have tagged together as Best Friends since 2013 for various promotions around the world. They have managed to establish their name in the independent scene as well.

After leaving NJPW for AEW, Best Friends added another indie darling, "Freshly Squeezed" Orange Cassidy, to their group. He would help the team gain immense popularity due to his out-of-the-box gimmick. Each member of the group is unique in their own ways.

A trio like them can add a lot to the show if booked correctly. Their feud with Pride & Powerful remains a solid example of this. Best Friends could realistically defeat The Young Bucks for the Tag Team Championships.

"The Freebird Rule" can also play a role in the team's ability to defend their titles on any given night. The rule says that any two of the three members of the team are eligible to contest for the Tag Team Championship matches.

#3 Jurassic Express get their AEW coronation

Jurassic Express has certainly hit a chord by connecting with the AEW fans. They are easily one of the best and most enjoyable teams on the roster. The unique dynamic of a Tarzan-like character befriending a dinosaur is silly and precisely the thing that makes them stand out.

Marko Stunt features as a third wheel in the Jurassic Express. Meanwhile, both "Jungle Boy" Jack Perry and Luchasaurus are crisp performers in the squared circle.

Jungle Boy can play it both ways as a single star and as a tag team wrestler. AEW has highlighted this fact from his feud with MJF and him outlasting others in a battle royal last year.

Considering their win-loss record alongside their popularity, it won't be a bad idea to trust the Jurassic Express to have a run with the tag team gold right now.

The teams that have held the titles so far consist of established stars who made their name in different promotions. Crowning Jurrasic Express as the new champions makes a solid statement as they would be the first team created in the company as AEW originals.

#2 Death Triangle win the AEW Tag Team Championships

It's still not clear why Rey Fenix has not won any championships in AEW yet. For the past few months, he was a level above everybody else. The performances he put up received praise from every fan of the company.

Alongside his brother Pénta El Zero M, The Lucha Bros. have spent some of their time drifting directionless in AEW. Moreover, imposed travel restrictions due to the pandemic had sidelined their Death Triangle ally and leader, Pac.

Fans want to see Fenix and Penta win some gold — a token of recognition for their spectacular brand of unique high-flying and risk-taking action. With "The Bastard" Pac as the main orchestrator and mouthpiece, the trio can operate as the best high-flying team in AEW.

As the victors of the Casino Tag Team Royale, Pac and Fenix will get an opportunity on the next episode of AEW Dynamite to challenge The Young Bucks for the titles.

Death Triangle could also use "The Freebird Rule" to their advantage if they dethrone The Young Bucks this Wednesday.

#1 Jon Moxley and Eddie Kingston as AEW Tag Team Champions

After the unfortunate explosion at the end of AEW Revolution 2021, nobody expected Jon Moxley or Eddie Kingston to bounce back from that fiasco.

However, they proved everybody wrong and gave fans a brilliant team that many did not know they needed in the first place. The unlikely alliance has showcased some of the most brilliant promos from both AEW stars.

In the current storyline, Kingston's leg was severely damaged by Kenny Omega and The Good brothers. A rift between The Elite made The Young Bucks come to the aid of the lone wolf, Jon Moxley.

Without a fit Kingston by his side, Moxley forced himself to trust The Bucks to challenge Kenny Omega, Gallows, and Anderson for a six-man tag team match.

The result was a disaster when The Young Bucks could not bring themselves to punish their best friend, Kenny Omega. As a result, Matt and Nick Jackson switched sides and attacked their partner, Moxley, thus turning over to the dark side properly.

It would be justified and even cathartic if Moxley and Kingston get their sweet revenge on the brothers by snatching away their beloved tag team gold soon.
