FTR retained the AEW World Tag Team Championships against the Bang Bang Gang in a violent Chicago Street Fight at Worlds End.

Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler secured the victory by delivering a spike piledriver to Austin Gunn onto a title belt.

The match showcased the no-disqualification stipulation immediately, with the brawl spilling into the crowd and up the entrance ramp. The champions utilized trash cans and kendo sticks to isolate their opponents, at one point placing a trash can over Gunn’s head before striking it repeatedly.

FTR focused their offense on Juice Robinson’s leg, using a chop block and chair shots to set up a Figure Four leg lock. Robinson eventually broke the hold by spraying a fire extinguisher into Harwood’s face.

Manager Stokely Hathaway repeatedly intervened on behalf of the champions, handing weapons to FTR and pulling referee Paul Turner out of the ring to prevent a pinfall following Robinson’s finisher. Robinson later threw Hathaway from the ring apron, causing him to crash awkwardly to the floor near a table.

The contest concluded after Gunn broke up a pin attempt following a Shatter Machine on Robinson.

Harwood countered Gunn’s subsequent offense with a piledriver on a trash can, followed by the decisive assisted spike piledriver onto the championship belt for the pinfall.
