FTR surprisingly captured the AAA World Tag Team Championship from Lucha Bros on this week's edition of AEW Dynamite. Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler emerged as the mystery opponents Andrade El Idolo had teased for the AEW Tag Team Champions.

FTR appeared in green outfits for the match, with Lucha masks on, and they were introduced as Las Super Ranas during their entrance. It took only a few minutes for Lucha Bros to unmask their mystery opponents on AEW Dynamite and expose their real identity.

Once they were revealed to be FTR, the match changed gears and became a fun back-and-forth contest.

Lucha Bros' high-flying offense and the challengers' grounded offense gelled well, with the Miami crowd reacting pretty loudly to everything happening in the ring. As expected, FTR used underhanded tactics to gain some unfair advantage in the closing moments of the match.

Tully Blanchard's timely assist and Dax Harwood hitting Rey Fenix with the belt were the turning points in the Title match.

FTR emerged victorious after Harwood executed a Brainbuster on Fenix. The win marked Harwood and Cash Wheeler's first AAA World Tag Team Championship win.

In a post-match segment, it was revealed that MJF had struck a deal with Andrade El Idolo.
