Summary

AEW crowned new World Trios Champions on Saturday's episode of Collision, as The Dogs, David Finlay, Clark Connors, and Gabe Kidd, defeated JetSpeed and Mistico in the opening match of the show.

The title bout had only recently been set, following the Trios title match announcement for this episode of Collision. Once the match started, The Dogs made the opportunity count.

Winner

The Dogs won the AEW World Trios Titles when David Finlay held Mike Bailey in place for a vertical suplex, Clark Connors came off the middle rope with a spear, and Gabe Kidd scored the pinfall.

It is the first AEW World Trios Championship reign for Finlay, Connors, and Kidd as a unit.

How the title reign ended

JetSpeed, Kevin Knight and Mike Bailey, had held the belts alongside Mistico for 24 days. During that run, they successfully defended the titles twice, including one defense in CMLL.

Their reign ended in the first match of the night, giving AEW's trios division another quick shift at the top.

What The Dogs' win means for AEW's trios division

The Dogs now arrive in AEW with immediate championship status, which gives the group a stronger place on Collision right away. A title change in the opening match also tells viewers this trio is being presented as a serious force from the start.

It also resets the trios picture quickly after JetSpeed and Mistico's short reign. Because the outgoing champions had already defended the belts twice in just over three weeks, AEW now has a ready-made set of challengers if the promotion wants to revisit this matchup soon.
