The '''AEW World Trios Championship''' is a men's professional wrestling world tag team championship created and promoted by the American promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW). It is a specialized tag team championship, being contested by teams of three wrestlers, referred to as trios. The reigning champions are The Conglomeration (Orange Cassidy, Roderick Strong, and Kyle O'Reilly), who are in their first reign, both as a team and individually. They defeated The Dogs (David Finlay, Clark Connors, and Gabe Kidd) at Dynasty on April 12, 2026.

The title was established on July 27, 2022, and the inaugural champions were The Elite (Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson, and Nick Jackson). From April until July 2024, the AEW World Trios Championship was held and defended together with the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship of sister promotion Ring of Honor (ROH) as the Unified World Trios Championship.

==History== [[File:The ELITE (professional wrestling).jpg|thumb|upright|Record two-time and inaugural champions The Elite (Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson, and Nick Jackson)]] The professional wrestling championship was introduced by All Elite Wrestling (AEW) for its men's division on July 27, 2022. During that night's ''Dynamite'': Fight for the Fallen special, AEW announced a tournament for the inaugural AEW World Trios Championship, which would culminate at the All Out pay-per-view on September 4, 2022. Unlike the AEW World Tag Team Championship, which is a standard world tag team championship contested by teams of two wrestlers, the Trios Championship is contested by teams of three wrestlers, referred to as trios.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://prowrestling.net/site/2022/07/27/7-27-aew-dynamite-results-barnetts-live-review-of-jon-moxley-vs-rush-for-the-interim-aew-world-championship-thunder-rosa-vs-miyu-yamashita-for-the-aew-womens-championship-ricky-star/|title=7/27 AEW Dynamite results: Barnett's live review of Jon Moxley vs. Rush for the Interim AEW World Championship, Thunder Rosa vs. Miyu Yamashita for the AEW Women's Championship, Ricky Starks vs. Danhausen for the FTW Title, Bryan Danielson vs. Daniel Garcia, Sammy Guevara vs. Dante Martin|work=Pro Wrestling Dot Net|first=Jake|last=Barnett|date=July 27, 2022|access-date=July 28, 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last=Lambert|first=Jeremy|title=AEW Officially Announces Trios Championships, First Champions Will Be Crowned At AEW All Out|url=https://www.fightful.com/wrestling/aew-officially-announces-trios-championships-first-champions-will-be-crowned-aew-all-out|work=Fightful|date=July 27, 2022|access-date=July 28, 2022}}</ref> At All Out, The Elite (Kenny Omega, Matt Jackson, and Nick Jackson) defeated "Hangman" Adam Page and The Dark Order (Alex Reynolds and John Silver) in the tournament final to become the inaugural champions.<ref name="All Out2022"/>

Following berating comments made by reigning AEW World Champion CM Punk at the All Out post-event media scrum on September 5, a legitimate physical altercation occurred between Punk and The Elite.

==Belt design== The standard AEW World Trios Championship belts were made by Ron Edwardsen of Red Leather Belts. They have five gold plates on black leather straps. The circular center plate has a blue globe at the center with "TRIOS" written across the globe in black with a gold border. Above the globe is a black banner that says "WORLD" in gold while a black banner below the globe says "CHAMPION" in gold. At the top of the plate is AEW's logo while filigree fills out the rest of the plate. Sitting on either side of the center plate are two side plates each. The inner side plates show two wrestlers performing simultaneous superkicks on another wrestler.<ref>{{cite tweet|author=All Elite Wrestling|user=AEW|number=1552464819768500224|title=Here is a better look at the #AEW TRIOS CHAMPIONSHIP belts, designed & crafted by #RedLeatherBelts.

===Custom designs=== [[File:AEW-World-Trios-Championship-scissor-belt.jpeg|thumb|right|The custom "scissoring" belts first used by The Acclaimed (Max Caster, Anthony Bowens, and Billy Gunn). Bullet Club Gold/Bang Bang Gang (Jay White, Austin Gunn, and Colten Gunn) then held these belts in tandem with the standard belts and the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship belts to represent the Unified World Trios Championship.]] During House of Black's (Brody King, Buddy Matthews, and Malakai Black) reign that began in March 2023, they introduced their own custom "black out" versions of the championship belts. The belts featured mostly the same basic design as the standard belts, but with silver plates instead of gold (the globe was also black instead of blue). The side plates were also changed to The House of Black's logos with a vertical "HOB" tooled into the leather between the outer side plates and the button snaps.<ref>{{cite tweet|author=Brody King|user=Brodyxking|number=1657146706394226690|title=B L A C K O U T|date=May 12, 2023|access-date=August 31, 2023}}</ref>

After The Acclaimed (Anthony Bowens, Max Caster, and Billy Gunn) won the title in August 2023, they introduced their own custom "scissoring" championship belts. They featured the same basic design as the standard belts, but with pink straps. Additionally, the ends of the belts were shaped like scissors and said "Scissor Me" on one side and "Daddy Ass" on the other side, referencing their "scissoring" gimmick. The inner side plates were the same as the standard belts, but the outer side plates were changed to saying "WORLD TRIOS CHAMPION". AEW's logo was also added to the top of each side plate.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://411mania.com/wrestling/new-aew-trios-title-aew-dynamite/|title=New AEW Trios Titles Unveiled On AEW Dynamite|date=August 30, 2023|last=Thomas|first=Jeremy|work=411Mania|access-date=August 31, 2023}}</ref>

During Dynasty: ''Zero Hour'' in April 2024, ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Champions Bullet Club Gold (Jay White, Austin Gunn, and Colten Gunn) defeated The Acclaimed to win the AEW World Trios Championship, holding and defending both titles under the Unified World Trios Championship banner, using the standard AEW Trios belts, the ROH World Six-Man belts, and The Acclaimed's custom "scissoring" belts to represent the collective accolade. This would continue until July 2024 when Bullet Club Gold (who had since become known as the Bang Bang Gang) were stripped of the Unified World Trios Championship. This subsequently ended the unification of the AEW and ROH titles with the custom "scissoring" belts also being dropped in favor of the standard AEW World Trios Championship belts.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://411mania.com/wrestling/the-patriarchy-win-trios-titles-aew-collision/|title=The Patriarchy Win Trios Titles On Tonight's AEW Collision|work=411Mania|last=Lee|first=Joseph|date=July 20, 2024|access-date=July 21, 2024}}</ref>

The Elite (Kenny Omega, Matt and Nick Jackson) were the inaugural champions and they have the most reigns as a team at two, while individually, all three plus Pac, Kevin Knight, and Mike Bailey are tied at two. At 274 days (276 days as recognized by AEW due to tape delay), The Opps's (Katsuyori Shibata, Powerhouse Hobbs, and Samoa Joe) sole reign is the longest in the title's history, both as a singular reign and for most cumulative days as champion for a team, while for an individual, Pac has the most cumulative days as champion, holding the title for 360 days across his two reigns. The Elite's inaugural reign is the shortest at three days, although AEW officially recognizes that The Dogs (Clark Connors, David Finlay, and Gabe Kidd) have the shortest reign at one day due to tape delay (their actual reign length was four days). Billy Gunn is the oldest champion, winning the title at 59, while Nick Wayne is the youngest at 19.<ref name="All Out2022"/><ref name="Dynamite09072022"/>

The current champions are The Conglomeration (Kyle O'Reilly, Orange Cassidy, and Roderick Strong), who are in their first reign, both as a team and individually. They defeated The Dogs (David Finlay, Clark Connors, and Gabe Kidd) at Dynasty on April 12, 2026, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.<ref name=Conglomeration/>
