Strickland, Kofi and Creed became the new AEW World Trios Champions at Full Gear, defeating Page, Bandido and King in a Texas Death Match that featured plenty of blood, staple-gun brackets and even the use of a Nintendo Power Glove. For this team, the victory was their second in the history of the trios title.
The match ended with Creed using the Power Glove against King to deliver the decisive blow. Shortly before that, Kofi performed a Boom Drop through the barrier, shattering glass that scattered shards onto Page. Moments like these set the tone for the entire match, in which Texas Death rules allowed the use of any objects and did not include a standard countout ending.
The clash between Strickland and Page was especially brutal. The two traded blows with staple-gun brackets, and Page's face was cut open, after which blood also appeared on Strickland. Page attempted to build a combination with a Buckshot Lariat, but Strickland responded with a House Call knockout and turned the momentum of the match in his favor.
The match was a reminder of the Texas Death match between the same teams at Full Gear 2023, which was also remembered by audiences for its violence. The rematch underscored that both factions are willing to take their conflict beyond classic rules, and this is what made the evening one of the most talked-about moments of the show.
The win cemented Strickland, Kofi and Creed's status as one of the company's leading trios teams. For Page, Bandido and King, the defeat means losing the title they held during their first championship reign together and starting over in the pursuit of the belt. The outcome leaves open the question of how relations between the teams will develop after so much blood and mutual injury.
