In a historic moment for professional wrestling fans in London, former WWE New Day members Kofi Kingston and Austin “Xavier” Woods teamed with Swerve Strickland to win the AEW World Trios Championship at the All In event held at Wembley Stadium. The trio, rebranded as The New Level, outlasted six other teams in a hard‑fought match to claim the titles.
Big E celebrates former stablemates’ success
Big E, who remains with WWE as a broadcaster, posted a cartoon on social media highlighting the achievement. He wrote, “Take a second today to recognize your own progress. You’ve made it farther than you think,” and called Kingston and Woods his “brothers,” adding, “If you’re two living legends that are undervalued, sometimes you have to go to London!”
What this means for AEW and the wrestlers
The victory underscores the fluid nature of the pro‑wrestling industry, where talent frequently moves between promotions. Kingston and Woods, who left WWE earlier this year after a decade of tag‑team dominance, are expected to have a strong run in AEW. Their success adds to AEW’s growing reputation for high‑caliber competition.
AEW’s next “Dynamite” episode will feature The New Level defending the Trios Championship against The Rascalz—Dezmond Xavier, Myron Reed, and Zachary Wentz. The promotion also showcased a vibrant tag‑team division, highlighted by Adam Copeland and Christian Cage defending the AEW Tag Team titles against The Young Bucks.
Fans and analysts alike see this title change as a sign of AEW’s expanding global reach and its ability to attract top talent from rival companies. As the industry continues to evolve, the rivalry between WWE and AEW remains a driving force for innovation and fan engagement.
