AEW veteran Christopher Daniels still has a lot left in the tank, and he recently celebrated his latest victory. Daniels recently secured the DEFY Wrestling Tag Team Championship alongside Swerve Strickland.

Daniels and Swerve defeated The Bollywood Boyz, formerly known as The Singh Brothers in WWE, to capture the titles at DEFY's The World Is Yours event. The win also makes Daniels a double champion, as he currently holds the Interim DEFY Wrestling World Championship as well.

After the bout, Daniels took to Twitter and posted a picture of himself holding the coveted tag team title alongside his partner. Meanwhile, the post's caption suggested that they've both gained a little "weight" in recent weeks.

"Gained 10 pounds tonight. My friend here can sympathize, this is the second 10 pounds he's gained in a week." #CDTwoBelts

Daniels will be looking to add more gold to his collection, as he and NJPW star Yuya Uemura will face Aussie Open in the finals of the NJPW Strong Openweight Tag Team Championship Tournament.

AEW star Swerve Strickland captured another tag team title recently

Christopher Daniels isn't the only one to know what it's like to carry two belts, as Swerve Strickland recently won the AEW World Tag Team Championship with Keith Lee.

Strickland and Lee defeated Team Taz and The Young Bucks to become the new champions on Wednesday's episode of Dynamite. The win marked Keith Lee's first title win since his short stint as NXT Champion in WWE.

Strickland and Lee will have a lot of hungry competitors coming after them, with the likes of FTR, Private Party, and The Dark Order all ranked in the top five at the time of writing.
