Will Ospreay and Swerve Strickland defeated The Youngs Bucks at AEW All In: Texas.

The result means the Young Bucks must relinquish their roles as EVPs.

Before the match, there were a series of grandiose entrances, with Ospreay getting an Assassin’s Creed-themed welcome to the stage with a martial arts display.

Swerve was then introduced by a rendition of ‘Ain’t Nobody’ sung by Jojo Offerman.

The Young Bucks arrived on a boat, accompanied by a 1700s-style address as the ‘Founding Fathers’ of AEW.

Ospreay and Strickland started off on top, but the Bucks soon asserted control with their more seasoned tag credentials.

A prolonged period of isolation by the Bucks on Will Ospreay followed, before he finally made a tag to Strickland.

Swerve and Ospreay dominated briefly, before the Bucks once again asserted their synchronicity.

One of the first big near-falls came as Strickland and Ospreay hit simultaneous Styles Clashes to the Bucks for a double two-count.

The pace quickened as Ospreay kicked out of a More Bang for Your Buck after Matt and Nick had laid out Swerve with a TK Driver on the floor.

After Ospreay accidentally hit Strickland with a Hidden Blade, a series of nearfalls came thick and fast.

The finish came as an isolated Matt Jackson took a simultaneous House Call and Hidden Blade, with Strickland getting the pin.
