Hangman Page, Kevin Knight and “Speedball” Mike Bailey are the new AEW Trios Champions following Saturday’s Maximum Carnage episode of Collision.
Page and JetSpeed defeated The Opps in the show’s main event after Knight countered Powerhouse Hobbs’ back body drop attempt into a roll-up for the pin.
It was Hobbs’ final match in the company for now as his contract expired the night the show was filmed (Wednesday) and he is expected to be WWE-bound.
The loss ends the 273-day reign for Hobbs, Samoa Joe and Katsuyori Shibata that began at last April’s Spring BreakThru episode of Dynamite. Saturday marked the seventh defense of the titles.
It’s Page’s first run with the titles and his third different championship in AEW (World, Tag Team). He was also briefly an ROH Six-Man Champion with the Young Bucks. It’s the first AEW title for either Knight or Bailey. Knight is a former two-time IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion with KUSHIDA while Bailey is former three-time TNA X-Division Champion.
