Popular AEW tag team teases split for the first time in 5 years
AEW may have teased the breakup of a beloved tag team during this week's episode of Dynamite. The team in question is Private Party.
Isiah Kassidy and Marq Quen appeared in a backstage interview also featuring The Young Bucks on the latest edition of Dynamite. The duo pointed out how close they were to pinning the EVPs for the AEW World Tag Team Titles at WrestleDream 2024 and asked them for another shot at the belts.
Despite acknowledging the up-and-coming tag team's performance at the pay-per-view and their growth over the years, Matthew and Nicholas Jackson refused to put their championships on the line against Private Party again.
Afterward, Stokely Hathaway confronted Zay and Quen and berated them for their WrestleDream loss and for not accepting his managerial services before that. He also suggested that Private Party should split up the next time they unsuccessfully challenge for the World Tag Team Championships, even claiming that Kassidy could break out as a singles star in the event of such a split transpiring.
Quen seemed visibly upset by Hathaway's insinuation, possibly teasing some tension between the members of the tag team that have been performing in AEW since its foundation.
It remains to be seen what lies next for Private Party in All Elite Wrestling.
