Tony Khan Put New AEW Tag Team Together After Backstage Handshake

AEW CEO Tony Khan put a new tag team together after he saw them do their unique handshake together backstage.

Current AEW World Tag Team Champions Brodido – Brody King and ROH World Champion Bandido – have been champions since August when they won the title at All In Texas.

They had only really been put together as a tag team shortly before that after King’s Hounds of Hell partner Buddy Matthews suffered an injury.

Brodido have now revealed that the reason Tony Khan put them together was actually because he saw them do a gunfinger handshake together backstage, which they’d been doing as friends for many years.

In an interview on AEW Close Up, when asked if Khan knew that they were already good friends, King replied:

“I don’t think so. Because when we started doing the handshake he was mindblown by the handshake.”

Bandido then added:

“I think that was the beginning of Brodido, the handshake. When we go to the ring, Tony saw us do the handshake before we got to the entrance.”

Brodido will defend the AEW World Tag Team Championship against FTR at Full Gear on November 22.
