AEW All In: London’s World Trios Championship bought has been confirmed.

The AEW World Trios Championships have received a noticeable boost in attention over the past few months, with The Conglomeration, The Demand, and The Good, The Bad, and The Hangman all holding the titles and defending them at major PPVs and events, including Grand Slam: Mexico.

During today’s All In: London media call, AEW founder Tony Khan announced that a new “Roulette Royale” will take place at the show, champions Adam Page and Brodido set to defend the titles against The Bang Bang Gang, The Dogs, Death Riders, The Conglomeration, and a wild card trio.

“At the very beginning of AEW, we had a huge match that we gave fans for free, and Hangman was in that match as well, and it was the original Casino Battle Royale. We gave it away for free, and it was the very first match in AEW history because it started out the original Buy-In on the original Double or Nothing.  As I plan this show, landscape has changed even more. There’s great wrestlers out there. There’s free agents. There’s all these things happening. But certainly for me, with the focus on AEW, I look at the trios scene, and I see great Trios Champions. But I also see a lineup of challengers out the door, just great wrestlers, and you can bring them in three at a time. And I just feel so strong about each of these trios. I look back at one of my all-time favorite episodes of AEW that people don’t talk about very much and a show that you don’t see very much. Christmas a few years back, we had the AEW $300 thousand Three Kings Christmas Casino Trios Royale, with 21 men competing across seven trios, entering in a Battle Royal setting. Now with all these great trios, and knowing that people are gonna be watching AEW all over the world, and the Buy-In is free to watch, and it’s a great way to get people to buy into the show. I am going to brand it on the Buy-In that we will have at AEW All In 2026… I think it’s a great opportunity to introduce a Trios Roulette Royale. It’s a very different match from a Casino Gauntlet with one sudden-death pin. You’ll have trios entering until only one trio or the members of one trio remain across seven trios. When you have Hangman and Brodido, The Bang Bang Gang, The Dogs, The Demand, The Death Riders, The Conglomeration. I think that’s a tremendous lineup, and I’m always out there scouting, talking in the world of wrestling, and these are developing situations. But I think I could field a pretty interesting wild card team, the seventh spot. So that’s what we’re gonna. And coming out of last night’s show, I’ve been working on this, and I still am working on this to bring in a great wild card team. And I think I’ll be able to get it done.”

Tony Khan confirmed that the Roulette Royale will begin on the Buy-In, but recent AEW PPVs have seen major matches close out the pre-show before seamlessly transitioning into the main card. With that in mind, the trios clash could continue into the main show and kick off All In: London with a bang.

Regarding the mystery “wild card” team, speculation has already begun to swirl among fans. Swerve Strickland threw his name into the mix after “Hangman” Adam Page declared that “any trio” could challenge for the titles, while reports have also emerged claiming that Austin Creed and Kofi have signed with AEW and could debut at All In: London.

A pairing of Creed and Kofi with Swerve would certainly make for a major surprise, potentially providing a huge opening moment for the PPV. The duo could also return later in the show to stake their claim to the tag team titles following that match. For now, though, the identity of the wild card remains unknown, with everything set to be revealed on Sunday.

Elsewhere during the media call, Tony Khan provided an update on former AEW Women’s World Champion Thekla’s status ahead of All In: London. You can read more about that here.

As always, we’ll aim to provide any further updates on plans for AEW All In: London as soon as we hear more.
