The AEW World Trios Championship picture for All Out is set. On the September 23, 2026 special three-hour episode of AEW Dynamite and Collision, broadcast live from Fishers Event Center in Indianapolis, Indiana, champions Swerve Strickland, Austin Creed and Kofi held off a hard-charging challenge from The Demand, the team of Ricochet and GOA, to retain the AEW World Trios Championship, according to reports from ProWrestling.net, PW Torch, Fightful, Ringside News and Wrestling Inc.
The title defense opened the go-home edition of Dynamite, which aired on TBS and HBO Max with commentary from Excalibur, Tony Schiavone and Taz. Fightful and Ringside News both reported that The Demand pushed the champions to their limit before Strickland and New Level came away with the win to keep the titles in their possession heading into All Out.
With the victory secured, the champions now have a new set of challengers confirmed for AEW All Out. Fightful reported that Strickland and New Level will defend the AEW World Trios Championship against “Hangman” Adam Page, Bandido and Brody King at the pay-per-view.
Ringside News noted that the win over The Demand nearly went the other way before the champions were able to turn things around, setting the stage for what is shaping up as one of the marquee title matches on the All Out card.
PW Torch’s report on the same three-hour show also detailed additional matches from the card, including Will Ospreay teaming with Speedball against Claudio and Kidd, as well as Jon Moxley facing Desmond Xavier, both positioned as part of the promotion’s final build toward All Out.
