The two teams for next week’s Blood & Guts match are now set as Team AEW has found its three missing members to join Swerve Strickland and Mark Briscoe.
On AEW Dynamite 250, The Acclaimed’s Anthony Bowens and Max Caster volunteered their services, having had issues with The Elite for quite some time. After having beaten The Young Bucks on the June 19, 2024 edition of AEW Dynamite, The Acclaimed are awaiting a title shot for the AEW World Tag Team Championships, but will square off against Matthew Jackson and Nicholas Jackson here, first.

But rather than being accompanied by Billy Gunn, it was Darby Allin who would round out Team AEW in the finale of this episode, descending from the ceiling (a la his mentor Sting) to continue taking the fight to Jack Perry, in particular.
Check the rafters…It's DARBY!
