AEW World Tag Team Champions Brodido—Brody King and Bandido—are officially set to bring their gold to Mexico. The powerhouse duo will appear at an upcoming CMLL show on September 12, marking another major stop in their rapid rise through the wrestling world.
A Duo Born From Opportunity
Before the AEW Tag Team Tournament, Brodido didn’t even exist. Bandido was shining as ROH World Champion while Brody King was working solo, his longtime partner Buddy Matthews sidelined with injury. But when the tournament kicked off, sparks flew. The new pairing stunned fans with a shocking victory over The Young Bucks, followed by a massive upset pinfall against former AEW champions FTR. From there, Brodido’s reign began.
The Road to Mexico
Since winning the belts, Brodido has been unstoppable, taking their talents worldwide. The CMLL booking confirms their growing influence beyond AEW’s walls. Their opponents in Mexico have not yet been announced, but anticipation is sky-high. Despite a recent setback—teaming with JetSpeed in a losing effort against The Don Callis Family—the champions remain locked in and motivated.
Brody, Buddy, and the Future
Still, one big question looms: what happens when Buddy Matthews returns? At a press conference, King addressed the issue directly, saying he hopes Buddy heals and hinted at future trios title opportunities. For now, however, his focus is firmly on keeping AEW’s tag gold alongside Bandido.
Bandido’s Legacy Grows
For Bandido, this CMLL appearance adds another chapter to an already legendary career. From Mexico’s independent scene to ROH, PWG, Dragongate, and NJPW, he has built a résumé filled with international accolades. Now, as AEW champion, he continues to represent Mexico on the global stage.
Brodido’s story is still being written, but one thing is clear: whether in AEW or CMLL, they’re a force fans won’t forget. Stay tuned as their September showdown takes shape.
