CMLL’s Thunder Rosa highlights company’s partnership with MyAEW
CMLL star Thunder Rosa talks to OutKick about the company’s streaming partnership with MyAEW.
Blood, guts, staples and a Nintendo Power Glove. It’s a Texas Death match. Did you expect anything else?
Something had to give with the All Elite Wrestling World Trios Championship on the line. Adam Page, Bandido and Brody King were set to defend their titles with all their might against Swerve Strickland, Kofi and Austin Creed. Kofi and Creed came into the match with a little anxiety – having no real interest in getting bloodied up when the match was first announced.

But Kofi and Creed – who probably weren’t used to the brutality of what a match could bring – gave it their all to help Strickland grab the championship. For the second time in the group’s history, they have the AEW World Trios Championship around their waists.
There were incredible moments in the match and some that made you shield your eyes.
The Power Glove
Creed is a noted video game nerd. Who isn’t? But Creed went all the way back to 1989 to pull out something that did damage to King – the Nintendo Power Glove.
The device was kept in a bag that Stokely Hathaway was holding. He called for the duffle bag and pulled out the piece of gaming equipment. It was a thrill to see Creed use his creativity and take it to a, dare I say, new level.
After King bullied him while trying to get the Power Glove wrapped around his wrist, Creed punched the brute in the face and it exploded.

It looked like it hurt a bit but it was probably the most creative spot of the match. Creed also used a barbed-wire-laden trombone to do some damage to his counterparts earlier in the match.
Adam Pane

Kofi dropping the boom on Adam Page – more like Adam Pane, am I right? I have some jokes in my back pocket sometimes.
Anyways, Kofi and Creed put two windowpanes on Page as the wrestler was sprawled out on about a half-dozen chairs. Kofi went to the barricade and hit the Boom Drop on Page, breaking the glass all over Page’s torso.
It was interesting to see Kofi get hardcore. He opened the door to something deeper inside of him and it showed. The glass shattered across the ground outside the ring, while Strickland, Kofi and Creed took control of the match.
Staple-for-staple
The way fighters and wrestlers are described in the ring is going “toe-to-toe” or “nose-to-nose.” It’s never really staplegun-to-staplegun unless Page and Strickland are involved in a match.
Strickland asked Page to sit down with him – not for a conversation, but for some brutality. Page obliged and the two, with stapleguns in their hands, they used them on each other’s bodies. When their teammates got into the ring, they each received staples for their troubles.
It would not be the last time the two rivals would go for it all in the match. Something much worse came later.

Blood of your enemies
It was a callback to their Texas Death match at Full Gear in 2023, as Fightful pointed out during the night. Page busted Strickland open and with blood pouring out of his face, Page opened his mouth to get a taste.
This time, it was Strickland who made the gnarliest of decisions to get a taste of Page’s blood. The spot may have divided social media but the storyline and the opportunity was there – Strickland took full advantage.
Page did have the upper hand for a brief moment after the gross moment. But as Page went to slug Strickland with a chair shot, he was stopped dead in his tracks. Strickland was smiling. Page was about to hit him with a chair and he was smiling. Strickland spit the blood he had in his mouth at Page to counter what Page was going to do to him.
Page thought he had the match in the bag. He was setting up Strickland for a string of Buckshot Lariats. He only hit two of them. On the third, Strickland countered. He gave Page a House Call, knocking out his opponent.
