The Young Bucks vs. The Lucha Brothers in a Steel Cage Match for the AEW World Tag Team Championships (AEW All Out 2021)
One of the most anticipated matches on the AEW All Out 2021 card was The Young Bucks defending the AEW World Tag Team Championships against The Lucha Brothers inside a Steel Cage. These two tag teams are among the best in the world and put on an all-time classic ladder match two years ago in the same building at All Out 2019.
This was a different type of affair with no ability to do dives to the outside, but these four men used the stipulation expertly. There was plenty of focus on the cage early on, with the Lucha Brothers using the cage to run Matt and Nick into. The two teams traded their exhilarating offense back and forth, with momentum shifting throughout this Steel Cage Match at AEW All Out 2021.
The Young Bucks got an assist from Brandon Cutler outside the ring to give them a thumbtacked Nike sneaker, which they used to bloody Penta El Zero Miedo when he dived in front of his brother Rey Fenix. The Bucks hit a BTE Trigger on Penta for a brilliant nearfall when Fenix broke up the pin. The fans were heavily into this one at that point at AEW All Out 2021.
Fenix then used his exciting arsenal to get the advantage over The Young Bucks here at AEW All Out 2021. He grabbed the thumbtacked sneaker and hit both Matt and Nick with it. He then hit a Fire Thunder Driver for another close nearfall. Penta hit an insane top rope avalanche Canadian Destroyer on Matt Jackson that had the crowd molten hot.
All four men traded chops and superkicks until The Lucha Brothers gained control and hit the double stomp-package piledriver combo for another super nearfall. Rey Fenix climbed to the top of the cage for another combo, but Nick climbed up before Fenix walked the cage and kicked him in the head. He then followed with a spectacular crossbody dive onto all three men in the ring at AEW All Out 2021.
The Lucha Brothers followed with an assisted Package Piledriver on Nick Jackson to win the AEW World Tag Team Championships.
This felt like a special moment with Penta and Fenix showing great emotion following this electric bout. It was everything fans would expect from a vintage Lucha Libre Steel Cage Match. This was a simply unbelievable contest that was a bonafide Match of the Year candidate.
