New AEW Trios Champion Killswitch Injured During Title Victory

One big thing

Killswitch, formerly known as Luchasaurus, reportedly suffered a partially torn biceps during The Patriarchy’s AEW World Trios Championship victory this past weekend.

The details

• The Patriarchy (Christian Cage, Nick Wayne, and Killswitch) defeated the Bang Bang Gang to become the new AEW World Trios Champions.

• According to the Wrestling Observer, Killswitch hurt his arm during the match.

• The injury is believed to be a partially torn biceps.

• Despite the injury, Killswitch is “expected to work through it.”

Why it matters

This injury could potentially impact The Patriarchy’s reign as champions and AEW’s plans for the trios division. It also highlights the physical toll of high-stakes matches in professional wrestling.

Context

• The Bang Bang Gang had to vacate both the AEW World Trios Championship and the ROH Six-Man Tag Team Championship due to Jay White’s injury.

• The Gunns teamed with Juice Robinson to challenge for the vacant AEW World Trios Title.

• The ROH Six-Man Tag Team Championship remains vacant.

The bottom line

While The Patriarchy’s victory marks a significant shift in AEW’s trios landscape, Killswitch’s injury adds an element of uncertainty to their championship reign.
