Content:
On February 21, 2026, AEW Collision took over the Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, California, delivering a night of intense rivalries and chaotic confrontations. FTR and the Young Bucks, two of AEW’s most formidable tag teams, were at the center of the storm, their long-simmering tensions boiling over in a shocking display of on-screen aggression.
Chaos Unleashed
The evening began with high-stakes matches that set the tone for the rest of the night. FTR faced off against The Rascalz in an AEW World Tag Team Championship Eliminator match, but suffered a surprise upset, potentially setting up a title match at the upcoming Revolution event. This development has significant implications for AEW’s tag team division, as FTR looks to regain their footing and challenge for the top prize.
FTR’s frustration was palpable as they struggled to cope with the loss. Their emotions came to a head when they turned their ire on the Young Bucks’ younger brother, sparking a heated brawl at ringside. The tension between these two teams has been building for weeks, and it seems that the situation is about to reach a boiling point.
The Fallout: A Web of Rivalries
The chaos that erupted on AEW Collision has far-reaching consequences for the promotion. Jon Moxley’s team, the Don Callis Family, suffered a loss, but Moxley would not be denied, exacting revenge on Konosuke Takeshita with a devastating Paradigm Shift after the match. This act of defiance underscores Moxley’s status as a force to be reckoned with in AEW.
Meanwhile, Jet Set Rodeo, comprising “Hangman” Adam Page, “Speedball” Mike Bailey, and “The Jet” Kevin Knight, emerged victorious against The Demand, with Page securing the win over AEW National Champion Ricochet. This triumph has significant implications for the AEW World Trios Championship division, as Jet Set Rodeo looks to solidify their position as top contenders.
Setting the Stage for Revolution
As the dust settles on AEW Collision, the wrestling world is left to ponder the implications of the night’s events. With Revolution looming on the horizon, the stakes are higher than ever for AEW’s top talent. The rivalry between FTR and the Young Bucks is about to reach new heights, and the consequences will be felt throughout the promotion.
The on-screen tension between FTR and the Young Bucks has been building for months, with each side trading verbal jabs and physical blows. FTR’s Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler have long been established as one of the top tag teams in AEW, while the Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) are renowned for their high-flying acrobatics and technical prowess.
The Evolution of FTR and Young Bucks’ Rivalry
According to Dax Harwood, FTR’s frustration with the Young Bucks stems from their perceived lack of respect and appreciation for their in-ring abilities. Harwood mentioned that the Young Bucks’ constant need for validation and attention has rubbed FTR the wrong way, leading to a series of heated confrontations. This backstory adds depth to their rivalry, making their on-screen clashes even more compelling.
The Impact on AEW’s Tag Team Division
The ongoing feud between FTR and the Young Bucks has significant implications for AEW’s tag team division. The Rascalz’ recent win over FTR has set up a potential title match at Revolution, which could have far-reaching consequences for the division. If FTR can regain their momentum and challenge for the top prize, they may be able to reclaim their status as one of the top teams in AEW.
