Best Friends were an American professional wrestling stable in All Elite Wrestling (AEW). Originally a tag team consisting of Chuck Taylor and Trent Beretta, they first formed in Pro Wrestling Guerilla (PWG), where they were the winners of the 2014 Dynamite Duumvirate Tag Team Title Tournament.
Since the inception of AEW in 2019, the duo regularly appeared alongside Orange Cassidy. Starting in 2021, they would be joined by Kris Statlander and Wheeler Yuta, the latter of whom left the team in 2022. Trent's Roppongi Vice tag team partner Rocky Romero and Danhausen were associates of the group, and occasional appearances were made by Sue (Trent's real-life mother). The group was the AEW branch of the NJPW faction Chaos, as the two organizations have a working relationship.
The original team of Taylor and Trent were often seen as a comedy tag team, with Trent often acting as the straight man to the more eccentric Taylor.[2]
