The Elite win AEW World Trios titles in best-of-seven series

The Elite have regained the AEW World Trios titles, defeating Death Triangle in their best of seven series.

After tying the series 3-3, The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega defeated PAC, Penta El 0 M, and Fenix in an escalara de la muerte (ladder) match on Wednesday’s Dynamite. The finish had Kenny Omega give Fenix a one winged angel off a ladder propped up by another ladder and ropes to the floor. Omega then grabbed one of the Trios titles for the win.

Death Triangle’s reign with the titles ends after 126 days. They defeated Best Friends (Chuck Taylor, Trent Beretta, and Orange Cassidy) to win the vacant championships back on the September 7 edition of Dynamite.

The Elite were the first Trios title holders, winning them at All Out. However, a fight between them and CM Punk backstage led to them being stripped of the titles and suspended. They returned at Full Gear, losing what ended up being the first of seven matches between themselves and Death Triangle for the titles. The Elite went on to lose the next two matches before eventually tying Death Triangle in a Falls Count Anywhere match on the December 28 edition of Dynamite.
