Makes me think that something might have fallen through and they booked FTR.

Like a lot of time they chose FTR,it was an underwhelming choice besides "they are really good".

In isolation, I don't have a problem with FTR being the mystery team or winning the AAA belts, though that sure was bad timing doing it a week after Dragon Lee debuts in AAA challenging the Lucha Bros.
I do have a problem with the Lucha Bros going six weeks after winning the AEW tag titles without a Dynamite appearance other than 30 second backstage promos and then losing their first match back on the show. I have a problem with the Andrade/Pinnacle promo afterwards making sure to put all the heat for the win onto a white guy currently feuding with another white guy who the Lucha Bros will never, ever be booked to go over, and not the guy they're actually feuding with.
And if this is really leading to this "who is the face of Latino wrestling" feud concluding with PAC avenging the Lucha Bros by getting the win over Andrade, I'll have a huge problem with that.

Tony did the same thing, saying that they clearly have distinct builds. |

I thought the whole thing was pretty damn cool. Saw a few people call it dumb in the thread. Thought Andrade fooling Lucha Bros twice made him look pretty clever. And Andrade and MJF in a working relationship is all the more intriguing
A big title change and another non-AEW Title change on their turf. It's neat that this can happen any place and any time. FTR as AAA champions is really cool for them and could lead to AAA dream matches depending on how long they hold it.
Thought it was unpredictable and what FTR/Lucha Bros did in the match alone made me crave the rematch. This is gonna be fun

I honestly dig it.
Would I have loved to see Dragon Lee, Vikingo, etc, pop up in AEW? Sure, obviously, but this is such a heel move and I enjoyed it.

I don't follow AAA, but the team of "No Flips, Just Fists" holding those tag titles sounds like a great story.

Yeah, I think it’s just Punk being Punk. Similar to the “hogan” moment later on. Punk’s the little pyromaniac kid lighting a match near gasoline “OOPS. Did i..? Yup!” I don't follow AAA, but the team of "No Flips, Just Fists" holding those tag titles sounds like a great story. That’s why I loved/laughed my ass off. Think it’s really cool.  Haters gonna hate but FTR are consistently great with everyone and are cementing their tag team legacy as we speak. |

I would just like to add that my guess was closer than anyone else.

I really want to see FTR defend those belts in AAA. The clash of styles could lead to some entertaining matches.

As someone who loved the old WWF Conquistadors storyline, I love stuff like this.

It's a pretty flaccid reveal as far as surprises go, but I kinda prefer it. Way more potential for heat that'll stick than "here's my AAA boys who you may or may not know"

Is it weird to say that they actually look good in those green bodysuits?
