FTR win the IWGP Tag Team Titles at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door
AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door saw FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) defeat the United Empire (Great-O-Khan and Jeff Cobb) and Roppongi Vice for the ROH and IWGP Tag Team Championships.
The IWGP Tag Team Champions O-Khan and Cobb took control of the match early on as they decimated the two teams. Harwood hurt his left shoulder and had to be taken to the back for medical attention, leaving Wheeler alone for FTR.
Back in the ring, Wheeler fought single-handedly against the two teams, especially the United Empire, but was neutralized and had no choice but to tag in Beretta. The Roppongi Vice then used their speed and athleticism on the NJPW tag team outside the ring.
Just as things were looking dire for FTR, Dax returned with his left shoulder taped. He and Cash quickly took the United Empire out of the equation by hitting repeated German suplexes and a double superplex on Cobb.

FTR now holds three major tag team titles with the AAA Tag Team Championship being the other one. It will be interesting to see if the new IWGP Tag Team Champions will go after the AEW Tag Team Titles next.
