Street fight for AEW Tag Team titles announced for Battle of the Belts IX

Posted: Jan 7th 2024 By: Bryan Rose

The AEW Tag Team titles will be up for grabs next Saturday.

Chris Jericho and Sammy Guevara will get their AEW Tag Team title match next Saturday at Battle of the Belts IX, which will air immediately after Collision on TNT. The match was made on Saturday’s Collision, with Big Bill issuing the challenge.

The Young Bucks originally earned an AEW Tag Team title match back at WrestleDream in October. The following month, they lost the opportunity to Jericho & Kenny Omega at Full Gear. The two were set to get their Tag Team title match at Worlds End last month, but shortly before the event Omega was put out of action indefinitely with diverticulitis.

Sammy Guevara returned shortly after, disassociating himself with Don Callis and reuniting with Jericho, reforming Le Sex Gods. Jericho offered Guevara the Tag Team title opportunity, and the two went on with Darby Allin & Sting to win an eight-man tag team match at Worlds End, defeating Bill, Starks, Konosuke Takeshita, and Will Hobbs.

The lineup for next Saturday’s Battle of the Belts IX:
