AEW’s roster is heating up as wrestlers vie for spots on the company’s most significant upcoming events. On the latest “AEW Collision,” Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta made a bold move by challenging the OPPS World Trios Tag Team Champions. In a behind-the-scenes segment, Castagnoli was pursued by a reporter seeking a reaction after Deslider’s attack on “Hangman” Adam Page prior to the AEW World Championship match against Jon Moxley. Castagnoli boldly declared his intention to take on OPPS for the title, with Yuta quietly supporting in the background, urging OPPS to step up and prove their worth.
Castagnoli issued a confident warning before departing, indicating a serious rivalry brewing. Meanwhile, Death Rider’s third member, PAC, is currently sidelined due to an undisclosed ankle or foot injury, which has kept him off AEW programming since April. It remains uncertain if Castagnoli and Yuta can challenge OPPS as a duo or if a third partner will surface soon. OPPS claimed the AEW Trios Championship on April 17, defeating Samoa Joe and Katsuyori Shibata, but have yet to defend the titles in their 81-day tenure.
Fan Take: This challenge from Castagnoli and Yuta signals a thrilling shake-up in AEW’s trios division, offering fans fresh matchups and high stakes. It’s a pivotal moment that could redefine team dynamics and elevate the excitement around AEW’s tag team competition.
