Trios title open challenge added to AEW Double or Nothing

The AEW Trios titles will be on the line at Sunday’s Double or Nothing.

Announced during Friday’s Rampage, House of Black (Malakai Black, Buddy Matthews & Brody King) will defend the titles in an open challenge under their unique “house rules.”

The likely challengers will be former AEW Tag Team Champions The Acclaimed & Billy Gunn who picked up a win over Rush, Dralistico & Preston Vance on Rampage. Anthony Bowens intimated after their win that they were coming for the champions Sunday.

In a new development for Sunday, FTW Champion Hook will replace Brother Zay and join Matt & Jeff Hardy against Ethan Page and The Gunns on The Buy In pre-show.

Page and the Gunns injured Zay’s neck last Friday when the match was initially made, “Pillmanizing” Zay’s neck with a chair. This week, Zay and the Hardys came out after Page and the Gunns picked up a win, revealing Zay was unable to compete but found a replacement in their recent ally, Hook.

If the Hardys and Hook win, Matt Hardy will take over Page’s contract.
