History

On June 18, 2019, six months after the American professional wrestling promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW) was founded,[1][2][3][4] a tournament was announced to crown the promotion's inaugural tag team champions. That same day, a three-way tag team match for AEW's event Fyter Fest on June 29 was scheduled,[5] featuring Best Friends (Trent? & Chuck Taylor), SoCal Uncensored (Frankie Kazarian & Scorpio Sky), and Private Party (Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy) with the winning team advancing to All Out for an opportunity at a first round bye in the AEW World Tag Team Championship tournament.[6] Later, AEW's President and Chief Executive Officer Tony Khan announced that the tournament would occur on episodes of their TNT show, later revealed as Dynamite.[7] During the Buy In pre-show of Fyter Fest, Best Friends defeated Private Party and SoCal Uncensored to earn their spot at All Out.[8]

On July 11, AEW's Executive Vice President and wrestler Matt Jackson announced a second three-way tag team match to take place at Fight for the Fallen on July 13 with the winners facing Best Friends at All Out.[9] At Fight for the Fallen, The Dark Order (Evil Uno & Stu Grayson) defeated Jurassic Express (Jungle Boy & Luchasaurus) and Angélico & Jack Evans to advance to All Out.[10] At the event on August 31, The Dark Order defeated Best Friends to receive the first round bye in the tournament.[11]

Inaugural tournament

The first official match of the AEW World Tag Team Championship Tournament was announced on August 9, 2019, with The Young Bucks (Matt Jackson & Nick Jackson) facing Private Party (Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy) on October 9 during the second episode of Dynamite in Boston, Massachusetts.[12] It was later announced that the semifinals for the tournament would take place on the October 23 episode in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,[13] with the finals on the October 30 episode in Charleston, West Virginia.[14] On October 30, SoCal Uncensored (Frankie Kazarian & Scorpio Sky) defeated The Lucha Brothers (Pentagón Jr. & Rey Fénix) in the tournament final to become the inaugural champions.[15]
