12. AEW Trios Championship Is Doomed From The Start
AEW decided to add the Trios Championship to its ever-expanding roster of belts in 2022. What was essential was that the belts were introduced in a way that added prestige and excitement to them from the start. What fans got was the polar opposite of those circumstances.
A tournament was naturally created to crown the first-ever AEW Trios Champions, with the winners set to be crowned at All Out. After the likes of Death Triangle and United Empire were knocked out, the Trios championship finals would be The Elite vs. Adam Page & The Dark Order.
As expected, The Elite became the first Trios Champions. The problem is that Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks were suspended immediately as a result of Brawl Out, leaving the titles vacant. Their suspension was never properly explained on TV, Death Triangle hastily won the belts with a win over Best Friends on the September 7th episode of Dynamite, and those titles were stripped of any genuine status. There is yet to be a memorable feud for this championship, and even the Best-of-Seven series between The Elite and Death Triangle, that happened once the inaugural champions' suspension was lifted, suffered from the lingering cloud of Brawl Out.
