We at Real Rasslin have come to learn.
It was an inevitability following FTR's challenge on "AEW Dynamite," but on last night’s "AEW Collision," it was made official: Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler will take on Blackpool Combat Club members Claudio Castagnoli and Jon Moxley in a tag team match at AEW's upcoming Revolution PPV. The announcement follows the two teams wrestling to a time limit draw on Wednesday’s "Dynamite" opener; FTR made the challenge shortly after the match, and Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli accepted on "Collision" during a backstage promo.
Beyond accepting the challenge, Jon Moxley and Claudio Castagnoli would use their promo time to explain why FTR lives in the past, whereas the BCC pushes wrestling into the future. FTR responded in an in-ring promo later in the same episode, following their victory over Lee Moriarty and Shane Taylor. Dax Harwood painted a picture of Jon Moxley as a king on his throne in AEW and said he and Cash Wheeler were coming for Jon Moxley's head. FTR and Claudio Castagnoli also got involved in a show-closing angle following the main event match between their BCC teammate, Bryan Danielson, and Japanese wrestling legend Jun Akiyama. After Bryan Danielson defeated Jun Akiyama and hit him with a low blow after the match, he was attacked by his own Revolution opponent, Eddie Kingston. Claudio Castagnoli ran out to give Bryan Danielson a hand, which brought out FTR to make the save. It was then announced that FTR would team with Eddie Kingston on next week's "Dynamite" against Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley, and Claudio Castagnoli.
FTR has faced the BCC in trios action before, defeating the same three members alongside Mark Briscoe at Ring of Honor Final Battle 2023. Beyond that, Wednesday was the first meeting between the two teams, though Jon Moxley did defeat FTR in a tag team match back in 2022, when the BCC didn't exist yet and his partner was CM Punk.
