New Trios, Interim Women's Champions Crowned At AEW All Out 2022
Titles changed hands all across AEW All Out 2022 tonight.
Two vacant championships found new owners in AEW last night, with the Interim Women's World and World Trios Championships determined on an eventful pay-per-view.
The Elite were crowned AEW's inaugural World Trios Champions after defeating The Dark Order and 'Hangman' Adam Page in the night's second match. An electric match was built largely around Page's existing relationship with The Elite and a fantastic John Silver performance, before the Dark Order side accidentally wiped each other out for the finish.
'Hangman' blasting Silver with a Buckshot Lariat proved decisive. Kenny Omega dodged the blast, hence Silver getting hit, with the mix-up allowing Kenny to score the pinfall on Silver and claim the belts. Afterwards, he and The Young Bucks celebrated with Brandon Cutler.
Later, Toni Storm defeated Britt Baker, Jamie Hayter, and Hikaru to become Interim Women's World Champion. The key story was the shaky Hayter/Baker relationship, with Britt costing her ally the belt by pulling the referee out of the ring, preventing a surefire pinfall on Storm. Britt then came within moments of victory herself by attempting to steal a pin on Hayter following Toni's Storm Zero. It wasn't to be, though, as Storm blasted both Baker and Hayter with DDTs, pinning Jamie for the win.
An eventual unification match with AEW Women's World Champion Thunder Rosa now awaits Storm, who was in line for a shot at the original belt prior to its holder's injury. There's currently no word on when Rosa, who is suffering from a suspected back injury, shall return.
