New Japan Pro Wrestling, STARDOM, and CMLL are also part of the event, but up until very recently, it seemed like another standard AEW pay-per-view. However, that has since been changed thanks to matches like this, a three-way tag team match featuring representation from three different companies. Representing AEW will be the “Founding Fathers” themselves, The Young Bucks. Flying the flag for CMLL will be two-thirds of El Sky…
