The Young Bucks survived a sustained challenge from Davis & Doyle to retain the AEW World Tag Team Championship at Full Gear.
Matt & Nick Jackson entered the match in their fourth reign with the titles, having most recently retained at WrestleDream against Kyle Fletcher & Kevin Knight.
Mark Davis & Jake Doyle dominated the opening stages Saturday in Phoenix, using their size advantage to isolate Matt Jackson before Nick eventually made the tag and changed the pace.
The challengers continued to absorb much of the champions’ biggest offense. Doyle survived a BTE Trigger and later caught both Bucks in a double powerbomb.
Davis then withstood another BTE Trigger after the Bucks had struggled to get him into position for the move.
The closest near fall came late. Doyle powerbombed Nick over the timekeeper’s barricade before Davis hit Matt with Close Your Eyes and Count to Three, but Matt kicked out.
Davis & Doyle then attempted to finish the champions with simultaneous clotheslines. Matt avoided the attack, sending Davis to the floor, before the Bucks countered Doyle into a pinning combination for the three-count.
