Fantasy Booking AEW's First 10 Trios Champions

5. The Nightmare Family

Death Triangle

Although the story arc between Cody Rhodes and Mr. Brodie Lee has died down, there's no reason why we can't revisit that slightly in the trios division. It's vital to note, though, that neither Rhodes nor Lee would be involved in the title picture here, as they'd both ideally be involved in either the World or TNT title pictures.

We've already established who represents The Dark Order here, but as for The Nightmare Family? Dustin Rhodes, QT Marshall, and Lee Johnson.

In a way, it fits the narrative perfectly. Billy and Austin Gunn have already been declared official members of the Family, and you'd have to assume Colten will follow in their footsteps. Furthermore, it gives Dustin one final title win in the same way it does for Billy Gunn, while also properly kickstarting Johnson's AEW career.

The Dark Order would need to have a long, drawn out reign with the titles before ever dropping them. Going back to both of Eddie Kingston's Family's runs with the titles, the cult would go through all trios en-route to dropping the titles after a decent story being told leading into a pay-per-view.

It all ties together nicely, like a Lynx Africa set on a crisp Christmas morning.
