The AEW World Triathlon Championship will be held at AEW All Out 2026, but the question is: September 23 episode of AEW Dynamite Who will be the champions heading to Chicago? Swerve Strickland and The New Level put their titles on the line against The Demand to see who would face Hangman Page and Brodido this Saturday, and after a hard-fought match, Strickland, Coffey and Austin Creed retained their titles.
Throughout the match, The Demand’s real target was Toa Liona. He proved too much for the champions at times, even getting hit by two Flatliners only to have them no-sell and go straight to the attack. Ricochet was also digging deep into his bag of tricks as he landed the 630 Senton on Kofi after getting laid out by Leona and Bishop Kaun, but the champions continued to come out on top.
Eventually, The New Level and Strickland worked together to isolate Lyona. Kaun was taken out with a House Call from Strickland, Ricochet was taken out with an SOS from Kofi, and Liona was finally put down with a DDT as all three champions pinned Liona to finally get the win and retain their titles.
After the match, Hangman Page, Brody King and Bandido confronted the champions. Paige questioned why The New Level were partnering with Strickland because of what he did to the AEW people, but both Creed and Kofi claimed that Strickland had changed. Strickland claimed that Paige was nervous to question him given all that he had done in AEW as well, and warned Bandido and King that the Executioner was going to leave them both high and dry when the time was right. All six men battled to close out the segment and get the fans excited for the big title match this Saturday.
