Kofi and Creed Confirm AEW Debut Was a Joint Decision, Not a Solo Move

Kofi Kingston and Austin Creed have confirmed that their move to All Elite Wrestling (AEW) was a coordinated effort, not a solo decision by either wrestler. Following their WWE departures in May 2026, the duo debuted as 'The New Level' at AEW All In: London, where they won the AEW World Trios Championship alongside Swerve Strickland. In recent interviews, both men emphasized that they intended to join AEW together from the start, citing the shared experience of unemployment and the desire to compete in a top-tier tag division as key factors. While some critics questioned the chemistry between the former New Day members and heel-turned-face Swerve, Strickland has defended the partnership as a fresh direction rather than a replacement for Big E. The trio is set to defend their titles against the Rascalz on AEW Dynamite.
