The AEW universe was ablaze on the latest episode of Dynamite as Pac, former WWE titan, made his grand return after a six-month hiatus. But his comeback wasn't the only shocker — Pac introduced himself as the fifth combatant of the Blackpool Combat Club for the upcoming Blood and Guts match, as reported by Sportskeeda.
Pac's Return: A Twist in the 'Death Triangle' Saga
The 'Death Triangle,' an alliance formed in 2020 between Pac and The Lucha Brothers (Penta El Zero Miedo and Rey Fénix), initially dominated the AEW ring. They boasted an AEW World Tag Team Championship run and a one-time AEW World Trios Championship. Their reign saw a fierce feud with The Elite that resulted in the 'Death Triangle' losing their World Trios titles on the January 11 edition of Dynamite.
Pac's subsequent injury marked his last TV appearance, and his surprising return with the Blackpool Combat Club rather than the 'Death Triangle' hints at a possible change of allegiance.
'Death Triangle' Demise? Pac's New Alliance Shakes Up AEW
Pac's alignment with the Blackpool Combat Club certainly adds a new layer of intrigue to the Blood and Guts match. However, it also raises questions about the future of the 'Death Triangle.' With no official confirmation, speculation is rife that Pac's thirst for revenge may have driven him to his new allegiance, leaving the 'Death Triangle' in limbo.
Rewind: The Death Triangle's Reign as AEW World Trios Champions
The Elite clinched the inaugural AEW World Trios Championship in early September last year, only for their reign to be cut short by the notorious 'Brawl-Out' incident. The 'Death Triangle' seized this opportunity, defeating the Best Friends to claim the vacant World Trios titles.
Their reign ended when they lost to The Elite in the dramatic final match of a grueling best-of-seven series. This victory saw The Elite regain the titles they never truly lost, adding another layer to the heated rivalry.
Is This the End for the 'Death Triangle'?
With the Lucha Brothers currently holding the ROH World Tag Team Championship, and considering their past rivalry with Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta, Pac's decision to align with the Blackpool Combat Club is perplexing. This move adds to the growing belief that his ties with the 'Death Triangle' may indeed be severed.
Only time will reveal the fate of the 'Death Triangle' and how Pac's dramatic shift in allegiance will shape the future of AEW.
