The Kasper Brothers made their AEW debut at Saturday’s Full Gear in Phoenix, Arizona, confronting the Young Bucks and the Motor City Machine Guns. Jacob and Drew Kasper, known in WWE as Julius and Brutus Creed, showed up shortly after Matt and Nick Jackson defeated Mark Davis and Jake Doyle of the Don Callis Family to retain the AEW World Tag Team Championship.
Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin, the Motor City Machine Guns, were raising the arms of the champions as the Kasper Brothers’ name appeared on the big screen. The brothers went after the Bucks and then attacked Shelley and Sabin, who tried to help the champions. FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) came to the ring and stared down the Kaspers, but soon joined them in attacking both teams.
Stokely Hathaway and the Kaspers have worked together in the past. As Malcolm Bivens, Hathaway managed Diamond Mine in NXT, a faction that included Julius and Brutus Creed. He was in their corner when they won the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic in February 2022.
The Motor City Machine Guns have been the number one contenders for the AEW Tag Team titles since Wednesday, when they defeated FTR in the deciding fifth match to win their best-of-five series 3-2. There is still no date set for their match against the Bucks.
The Kaspers debuted in AEW only eight days after they left WWE on November 6.
