A former WWE tag team made their AEW Rampage debut earlier tonight after re-introducing themselves to the promotion's tag team division over the past week. This would be the Grizzled Young Veterans.
The duo consisting of Zack Gibson and James Drake have shown why they are one of the best in the world, by having great stints in both NXT and its counterpart in the UK. In 2022, they were revealed to be members of Joe Gacy's faction, The Schism. They ended up leaving the company in 2023.
At AEW All In last weekend, Gibson and Drake emerged following the conclusion of the tag team title three-way match. They came out to attack FTR, sending a message that they were also after the Young Bucks' title.
Tonight they were in action against The Outrunners. This would be their second match for the promotion, as they faced The Acclaimed back in April. The stars looked dominant once their momentum got going and were arguably unstoppable.
The duo hit a Doomsday Device, before transitioning to their High-Low combo finisher for a win.
Following the match, Gibson and Drake looked straight into the camera, calling out FTR, The Acclaimed, and The Young Bucks as they wanted the AEW Tag Team Title.
