The New Level joined Strickland as the Wild Card team in the Trios Roulette Royale and captured championship gold during Kingston and Creed’s first official match for the company.
Backstage after the victory, Creed described the moment as validation after coming to AEW from what he jokingly called another universe. He pointed out that the duo had immediately stepped into the ring with established teams and still walked away as champions.
Kingston and Creed repeatedly emphasized what winning on their first night said about their standing in AEW, while Strickland summed up the accomplishment by calling all three men history makers.
Strickland said the trio represented their generation, era, and culture before declaring that nobody was above them. Creed followed by tying that confidence directly into the duo’s new name, saying they had reached the highest level, The New Level.
The celebration also showed how quickly Kingston and Creed have embraced their new presentation. After years together in WWE, the longtime partners arrived in AEW with a new name, new entrance music, and championship gold immediately around their waists.
Creed closed the segment by confidently declaring there was no duo better than The New Level, making it clear that winning the Trios Championship was only the beginning of what the team expects to accomplish in AEW.
