The AEW Trios Champions have a new team name, and it's definitely not what some fans were hoping for! You might be wondering what happens when you blend the electrifying energy of 'JetSpeed' with the rugged charm of Hangman Page. Well, in the world of AEW, it results in the current reigning trios champions! And as any successful unit holding championship gold knows, a strong identity is key. This means they absolutely needed a team name to rally behind. After much anticipation and a drumroll that echoed through the arena, the name has been revealed: JetSet Rodeo.
To give you a little background, the champions themselves hinted at this during a promo last week. Kevin Knight, one of the members, put forward the name JetSet Rodeo. Meanwhile, 'Speedball' Mike Bailey, another member, was apparently quite fond of a rather more... suggestive name: Horse Cock.
Fast forward to the electrifying events of Saturday night's Collision. The team name was officially cemented. Hangman Page is no longer a lone rider; he's now joined by the formidable duo of Bailey and Knight, forming the solid unit known as JetSet Rodeo. In a moment that had fans on the edge of their seats, Knight cleverly cut off Bailey before he could utter the controversial name for a second time.
But here's where it gets interesting... even though the official name was announced, the crowd's energy was palpable, and many fans couldn't resist chanting Horse Cock! It seems the allure of the provocative name lingered, proving that sometimes, what the audience wants and what the promotion delivers can be quite different.
AEW, ever the quick thinkers when it comes to capitalizing on fan engagement, wasted no time in rolling out merchandise for JetSet Rodeo. The design itself is a clever nod to the situation – a cock (rooster), representing the 'cock' in the fan-favorite chant, playfully riding a horse, a clear symbol of the 'rodeo' and Hangman Page's persona. It's a smart way to acknowledge the fan reaction while still promoting the official team name.
Now, this is where we want to hear from you! What are your thoughts on the new team name, JetSet Rodeo? Does it capture the essence of the champions, or do you find yourself leaning towards the more audacious, albeit unofficial, Horse Cock? Let us know in the comments below – we're eager to see if you agree with the official choice or if the fan-favorite chant has won your heart!
