New Trios title number one contenders crowned at AEW WrestleDream
The Hurt Syndicate now have their eyes on another title.
Bobby Lashley, Shelton Benjamin, and MVP defeated The Demand (Ricochet and the GOA) at Saturday’s WrestleDream event. Shortly before the show went on the air, it was announced that Tony Khan had made their match a number one contender’s match for the Trios titles. With their win, The Hurt Syndicate now are looking at a showdown between themselves and the current champions The Opps (Samoa Joe, Powerhouse Hobbs, and Katsuyori Shibata).
The finish of the match had Lashley hit a spear on Toa Liona as Ricochet faced all three members by himself. But Bishop Kaun pulled him to safety and chose to face the three members on his own, taking a knee strike by Benjamin and a spear by Lashley before being pinned.
Both trios teams have been feuding with one another dating back to All Out, when The Demand scored the first victory. But the two teams continued to feud, with The Hurt Syndicate getting their win back on the October 7 edition of Dynamite. On this past week’s Dynamite, GOA defeated The Hurt Syndicate in a tag team match, evening things out prior to WrestleDream.
