What happened
AEW has set a AEW World Trios Championship match for the September 23 dual episode of Dynamite and Collision, according to Fightful. The champions, Kofi & Austin Creed of The New Level alongside Swerve Strickland, will defend the titles against The Demand, the trio of Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, and Toa Liona, per Fightful’s report.
The winner of that match is expected to move forward toward a Trios title opportunity at AEW All Out, according to F4W Online, which reported that the Trios titles will be defended at the Chicago pay-per-view.
F4W Online also reported that on the September 16 episode of Dynamite, Hangman Page and Brodido defeated The Conglomeration, both former Trios champions, in a title eliminator match to secure a future shot at the titles ahead of All Out.
What we know
Per Fightful, the champions defending on September 23 are The New Level, made up of Kofi and Austin Creed, teaming with Swerve Strickland, against the challenging trio of Ricochet, Bishop Kaun, and Toa Liona, known as The Demand.
According to F4W Online, Hangman Page and Brodido have already won a title eliminator over The Conglomeration to earn a place in the Trios title picture at All Out, with Page connecting on a key move during that Dynamite match, though the full detail of that spot was not specified in the available report.
Both outlets agree that the AEW World Trios Championships will be defended at All Out, with the challengers determined through the eliminator and upcoming title matches on Dynamite and Collision.
What is not confirmed
It has not been confirmed which team will ultimately face Hangman Page and Brodido at All Out, since that outcome depends on the result of the September 23 title match between the current champions and The Demand.
The specific match stipulation or additional details of the September 23 broadcast beyond the Trios title bout were not included in the available reporting.
Why it matters
The AEW World Trios Championship picture is heating up heading into All Out, with a champion-vs-challenger match and a prior eliminator bout setting the stage for what promises to be a stacked title scene in Chicago.
Fans now have a clear path to follow, from the September 23 Dynamite/Collision title defense to the eventual All Out matchup, as AEW builds toward its next major pay-per-view.
