Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks crowned AEW Trios Champions at All Out

Posted on by Ethan Renner

Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks are the first-ever AEW World Trios Champions. 

Omega, Matt Jackson, and Nick Jackson defeated Hangman Page, John Silver, and Alex Reynolds in the World Trios title tournament finals Sunday at All Out to become the first champs. 

The finish of the title match left plenty of room for interpretation and future stories, as Page clipped Silver with a Buckshot Lariat when Omega rolled out of the way to lead to the finish. Page is a former member of The Elite, and once held AEW’s World Tag Team titles with Omega. The two also faced off for the AEW World title at Full Gear in November 2021, with Page defeating Omega for that championship in Omega’s last match before a nine-month hiatus due to injury.

The Elite defeated Andrade El Idolo & Rush & Dragon Lee in the eight-team tournament’s first round, United Empire’s Will Ospreay & Aussie Open in round two, then defeated Page and Dark Order in the finals on their way to the Trios titles.

John Silver and Alex Reynolds have found a new partner for their AEW World Trios title tournament match on Friday’s live Rampage. 

After 10 was taken off the team with a storyline knee injury and Evil Uno was then eliminated as a potential partner after a backstage attack on Wednesday’s Dynamite, Hangman Page extended a hand to the Dark Order duo and offered to substitute as their partner in their semifinal bout against Orange Cassidy and Best Friends on Friday.

The winner of Page, Silver & Reynolds vs. Cassidy & Best Friends will face Kenny Omega & The Young Bucks in the tournament final at Sunday’s All Out to crown the first AEW World Trios Champions. 

Two more matches were announced for Rampage during Wednesday’s show. 

In a rematch from last week’s episode, Ruby Soho and Ortiz will face AAA Mixed Tag Team Champions Tay Melo and Sammy Guevara in a non-title match. Ricky Starks will also take on QT Marshall following The Factory’s assault on him last week.

Here is the updated card for Friday’s live Rampage, airing at 10 PM Eastern time on TNT: 

  • AEW World Trios Championship tournament semifinal: Hangman Page, John Silver & Alex Reynolds vs. Orange Cassidy, Trent Beretta & Chuck Taylor
  • Ruby Soho & Ortiz vs. Tay Melo & Sammy Guevara
