The AEW World Trios Championship tournament rages on here tonight, with Best Friends taking on the newest faction in AEW – The Trustbusters. Last week on AEW Rampage, Orange Cassidy took down Ari Daivari in singles action, but tonight has Trent Beretta & Chuck Taylor by his side, as Daivari brings Slim J and the terrifying Parker Boudreaux. So far in this tournament, The Elite has advanced – following the return of Kenny Omega on AEW Dynamite.
Best Friends Are One Of The Most Experienced Trios In AEW History
With their first recruit Sonny Kiss in the corner, Ari Daivari, Slim J & Parker Boudreaux would look to capture some success in the ring. However, the moment Jane by Jefferson Airship hit, the crowd showed they were instantly 100% behind Best Friends. They have tenure in the trios division much like The Elite, while Trustbusters are a fairly new trio.
Daivari would kick things off with Taylor, and Sole Food would follow. Slim J got the tag and would try and fight to a positive position. Best Friends would hit a combo powerbomb, before Daivari was run down with the knee strike from Barretta. Parker would throw his weight around, taking Best Friends to the floor and throwing them into the crowd.
A big lariat on the floor would have Barretta on the defensive. Parker would hit some heavy blows in the ring, and what he lacks in finesse – he makes up for in brute force. Slim J would hit the ring, and would manage to sneak a low blow in.
Trustbusters Can’t Buy A Victory
Daivari hit a neckbreaker, going after the prior injuries of Barretta, before some downward elbow smashes and a rear chinlock. Slim J would maintain control of the match, before getting into a staring contest with Orange Cassidy. Beretta would get the Half & Half Suplex, before OC hit the swing DDT on Daivari in the middle of the ring.
OC would call Parker into the ring, and would get caught by the throat before a body block. Best Friends would triple team Parker to take him off his feet, before Slim J would hit the running sliced bread. Best Friends would work on Parker on the floor, with Barretta cutting him down with a spear.
OC would taking a diving reverse DDT from Slim J. On the outside, Danhausen would curse Slim J, who took a double chokeslam, before Best Friends would hit a unique three man splash for the victory. Best Friends advance, and will face the winner of next weeks match of Dark Order vs. House of Black.
