"Tonight’s (July 26) AEW Redemption pay-per-view takes place in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, so the Buy In pre-show featured a celebration of 80 years of the Rougeau family wrestling dynasty. Jacques and Raymond Rougeau, who you might remember as The Fabulous Rougeau Brothers from their WWF run in the late 1980’s, were on hand to soak in the adulation from the live fans. Well, that’s what Raymond was there for. Jacques was there to tell his haters to kiss his ass. Beautiful. #AEWRedemption ➡️ https://t.co/v0czAv7nvl pic.twitter.com/U3prTPpzvQ — TDE Wrestling (@tde_gif) July 26, 2026 This is pro wrestling, so of course a low card bad guy had to run out there to get his ass kicked by the legends. In this case it was Rocky Romero who interrupted to declare that the Rougeau family doesn’t measure up to the Don Callis family. Jacques wasn’t in the mood to deal with Rocky’s bullshit, so he lived up to his famous Mountie theme song by getting his man with a huge slap to the face. Raymond followed up with another attack to get rid of the random Callis scrub from the ring. The Rougeau family celebration was in full swing! But @azucarRoc of the Don Callis Family had other plans!
