Christian Cage Gives Unlikely AEW Star Trios Title
Christian Cage holds gold again in AEW but he has made a shock decision with where one of the company’s title belts now belongs.
Christian Cage has used his hold over both Killswitch and Nick Wayne to ensure The Patriarchy found success again in AEW as they captured the vacant Trios Title with a win over The Bang Bang Gang on the 20th of July edition of Collision.
The title was vacated following an injury to previous champion Jay White who held the title with The Gunns. AEW management decided that Juice Robinson could not simply replace White for their title defence so the championship was vacated and split again from the ROH Six-Man Tag Team Championship.
Now on the 3rd of August edition of Collision, Christian Cage followed through with his promise to use the Trios Title as a gift to his family and he presented the members of The Patriarchy with their championship belt. Cage presented the first title to Nick Wayne who he says was the only person behind himself that deserves the title the most.
Killswitch was lavished with praise but Cage told the former Luchasaurus that he did not give birth to a prodigy so he handed the last Trios Title belt to Mother Wayne.

Christian Cage Runs From AEW Rivals
The Patriarchy was soon surrounded as The House of Black and a returning Buddy Matthews confronted them in the ring but as they made their escape up the ramp, The Bang Bang Gang cut them off.
Christian Cage fled through the crowd but as Nick Wayne attempted the same he was thrown back over the barricade by Kip Sabian. The House of Black then picked apart Wayne before they had a staredown with Juice Robinson and The Gunns.
