Even though The Hurt Syndicate debuted in AEW only last year, they are one of the most popular factions in the company. Consisting of MVP, Bobby Lashley, and Shelton Benjamin, this group was known as The Hurt Business when it was under WWE's banner. Furthermore, Lashley and Benjamin are the reigning AEW World Tag Team Champions.

The All Mighty and The Gold Standard became tag team champions by defeating Private Party on an edition of Dynamite earlier this year. Their reign has been dominant, and even after multiple attempts, no team has come close to dethroning them. It appears as if the duo is not going to lose the title anytime soon. However, there are a few duos who do have the potential to defeat them.

Here are three such tag teams that can dethrone The Hurt Syndicate as the AEW World Tag Team Champions:

#3. FTR

Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler of FTR are modern-day greats. They have an extraordinary chemistry inside the squared circle. When they were signed to WWE, they were known as The Revival. In the Stamford-based company, they held the NXT Tag Team Championship twice and the tag team championship thrice on the main roster. Furthermore, they are two-time AEW World Tag Team Champions.

Wheeler and Harwood are certainly believable competitors to end The Hurt Syndicate's title reign. They not only possess the in-ring skills but also have shrewd brains. Hopefully, later this year, the two teams will lock horns at a major pay-per-view and deliver a memorable match.

#2. The Hounds of Hell

The Hounds of Hell faction was previously known as the House of Black. Its current members are Brody King, Buddy Matthews, and Julia Hart. King and Matthews are capable of wreaking havoc inside the squared circle. A few weeks ago, the former WWE Cruiserweight Champion got sidelined due to a foot injury. It is not known when he will make a comeback. However, rumors suggest he is healing well.

The Hounds of Hell vs. The Hurt Syndicate has a nice ring to it. The four men are exceptional wrestlers and will certainly have an amazing match-up. If Tony Khan builds this potential rivalry well, fans are in for a treat. Furthermore, King and Matthews are believable names to dethrone Lashley and Benjamin.

#1. The Opps could dethrone The Hurt Syndicate with conviction

The Opps are the reigning AEW World Trios Champions. The group initially consisted of Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata, and HOOK. However, a few weeks back, The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil got injured, and Powerhouse Hobbs stepped up to be his replacement in the World Trios Title match last Wednesday. The trio eventually dethroned The Death Riders.

Every member of The Opps is an intimidating and brilliant in-ring competitor. It will be interesting to see if Hobbs and Joe challenge The Hurt Syndicate for the tag team title in the coming weeks. A match-up between the two teams will make for some must-see sports entertainment. Furthermore, if Tony Khan decides to book this potential match for a pay-per-view, it can be the main event.
