It’s Wednesday (or actually Thursday as I write this)! You know what that means! All Out is this Saturday, and both Dynamite and Collision are tonight! I’m just here for the Dynamite portion, but come on in!
Ricochet says Swerve and the New Level represent everything that’s wrong with the Trios division, because they were thrown together while The Demand were chosen and forged in ordeal.
Elsewhere, Prince Nana says GoA should remember who brought them into this world, but Swerve and the New Level will be the ones who take them out. Kofi and Creed then run down Swerve history with The Demand and how crazy it’s been, but say it’s the past and tonight it’s just about winning. Then they talk about going on to face The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly and Swerve’s wild history with all three of them. They ask if Swerve had any friends before they showed up, and in response, Swerve’s music just hits.

Winners and STILL AEW Trios Champions: Swerve Strickland and the New Level
The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly come out after the bell. The crowd chants “Fuck ICE”. Hangman offers them a sincere congratulations and says the champs have carried on the legacy of elevating the Trios Championships. He says he’s glad the New Level are here, but he suspects they don’t realize who they’ve gotten involved with. He asks Swerve what he’s doing, and Creed answers that he’s teaming with the greatest team in pro wrestling, and making sure that the Trios Championships are the most prestigious. He says Swerve is a changed man, to which Swerve smirks darkly. Kofi says Swerve has been great since they got there, and King says it’s only been three weeks.

Backstage, Renee is with Ospreay and Speedball, and also Francesco Akira. Ospreay says Speedball stepped up when he didn’t need to to protect Ospreay’s friends when he wasn’t there. He says he offered Speedball a spon in the United Empire, and he promised an answer tonight. Speedball says he knew at Wembley that Ospreay was the kind of person he wanted to stand next to, and even though his last partnership didn’t end well, this one will be different. Answer is yes.
