The AEW World Tag Team Championship changed hands at AEW Full Gear 2026 as The Young Bucks defeated Mark Davis and Jake Doyle in a hard-hitting tag team clash.
Matt and Nick Jackson overcame early physical dominance from the champions to reclaim the gold in front of the pay-per-view crowd.
Early Dominance By Davis And Doyle
Matt Jackson and Jake Doyle opened the championship contest at a furious pace. Immediately following the opening bell, Doyle overwhelmed Matt with raw power before dragging Nick Jackson into the ring from the apron, setting up Mark Davis to level Nick with a heavy clothesline.
Davis and Doyle quickly cleared the ring to establish total control on the outside:
- Matt Jackson: Driven down by a thunderous lariat from Doyle on the arena floor.
- Nick Jackson: Launched crashing over the ringside barricade directly into the timekeeper’s area by Davis.
The Young Bucks Mount A Comeback
Once back inside the squared circle, Matt rallied with a rapid series of right hands against both opponents. Nick tagged into the match and teamed up with his brother to spike Davis spine-first into the mat. After unloading additional strikes, the brothers clotheslined Davis out to the floor and drove his face into the ring apron.
Davis and Doyle abruptly halted the momentum by colliding Matt and Nick into one another. Doyle isolated Matt in the corner with heavy right hands before tagging out, flattening Matt with another stiff strike for a two-count. Matt created brief separation with a low bridge that sent Davis tumbling outside, though Doyle cut off his path to the corner. Nick intervened from the apron by rocking Doyle with a right hand, allowing Matt to score a near-fall with a quick rollup before Davis yanked Nick off the apron.
High-Flying Offense And Near-Falls
Matt stunned Davis with a right hand, opening the door for Nick to connect with a flying knee strike from the apron. Officially tagged in, Nick took flight with a crossbody off the ropes onto Doyle, who kicked out at two. Both Matt and Nick climbed to opposite turnbuckles, only for Davis and Doyle to recover, trip them up, and join them on the top rope. The challengers shoved both champions down to the canvas and launched themselves off opposite ropes to keep them grounded.
The back-and-forth battle escalated with several decisive exchanges:
- Double Powerbomb: After crashing the brothers together and breaking up a pinfall, Doyle planted both Matt and Nick with a double powerbomb before tagging Davis back into the fray.
- Matt’s Counterattack: Matt answered with a Sliced Bread counter and leveled Davis with a hard clothesline for a close two-count, followed quickly by a Code Red.
- Meltzer Driver Setup: The Bucks connected with a BTE Trigger on Davis and signaled for the Meltzer Driver to put the match away.
Decisive Finish In The Championship Showdown
Before the challengers could execute their signature maneuver, Davis tripped Nick up and powerbombed him over the ringside barricade. Davis followed up with a vicious piledriver on the outside, yet Nick miraculously managed to kick out at two upon returning to the ring.
Looking to seal the victory, Doyle hoisted Nick up for a powerbomb. At the critical moment, Matt rushed into the fray and flattened Davis on the floor, allowing Nick to slip behind Doyle and secure a surprise rollup for the three-count.
What Lies Ahead For The Newly Crowned Champions
With this victory at Full Gear 2026, Matt and Nick Jackson add another historic reign to their decorated career in All Elite Wrestling. The division’s top contenders will undoubtedly line up in the coming weeks on AEW Dynamite and Collision to challenge the newly crowned champions, while Davis and Doyle look to regroup after losing their titles in dramatic fashion.
