— After the match, Perry hands Nick a microphone. Nick says tonight is a little bittersweet because himself and Matt were unable to dethroned FTR as AEW World Tag Team Champions at Revolution. He says both himself and Matt's families were in the front row and their kids made their entrance with them, but watched them lose and admits that FTR was the better team on Sunday.

Matt says himself and Nick went to his birthday party on Sunday night and he felt embarrassed despite their father telling him and Nick to remember who they are as the best tag team on the planet. He says arenas filled with fans still love and believe in him and Nick, then says their father wasn't wrong about this and says himself and Nick know who they are. He says if himself and Nick have to scratch and claw to the top, no team in the back can keep The Young Bucks from becoming four time AEW World Tag Team Champions.

He says they had one of the best wrestling matches he's ever seen against FTR at Revolution, then says Copeland relates to FTR attacking family members like they did to his wife Beth Phoenix.

Copeland says he hasn't been able to look Phoenix in the eye since she needed to have spinal surgery, but now that she's good, he realized he had to come back to AEW to rectify the situation. He says that the way to get to guys like FTR are taking what matters most to them: the AEW World Tag Team Championship. He informs Matt and Nick will be challenging FTR for the AEW World Tag Team Championship at AEW Dynasty on April 12.

Cage says that himself and Copeland get the chance to prove that they're the best tag team of both their generation and The Bucks' generation.
