Ricky Starks & Big Bill win AEW Tag Team titles on Collision

Posted: Oct 8th 2023 By: Bryan Rose

Ricky Starks and Big Bill are the new AEW Tag Team Champions.

Starks and Bill defeated FTR in the open of Saturday’s Collision. The story of the match had Big Bill chokeslam Cash Wheeler through a table, putting him out of the match. That allowed Starks to tag in and spear Dax Harwood to win the titles for the first time.

After replays were shown, Wheeler was shown being helped to the back, still recovering from the table spot.

FTR had held the titles for over 180 days, defeating The Gunns back on the April 5 edition of Dynamite. They had recently successfully defended the Tag Team titles against The Young Bucks at All In back in August, and more recently at AEW WrestleDream last weekend, defeating Aussie Open.

On the Saturday before WrestleDream, Starks won an all-star eight man tag team match, pinning FTR. A match for the Tag Team titles was then set for this week’s show. Along with the win on Saturday, Starks also picked up a win at WrestleDream, defeating Wheeler Yuta.
