AEW has revealed a new look for its World Trios Championship belts, and the company made sure PAC will never be forgotten. Ahead of Full Gear 2026, AEW unveiled redesigned championship belts featuring a special tribute to the late Benjamin Satterley, who passed away in September at just 40 years old.
AEW shared photos of the new belts on Twitter, giving fans a close look at the updated design. The championships feature gold plates, black leather straps, and special details honoring PAC, including a memorial inscription on the back.
“A new look with a special tribute. 🏆 Get an up-close look at the redesigned AEW World Trios Championship belts, featuring details honoring Benjamin Satterley, AKA PAC.”
One of the most noticeable additions is an inscription on the back of the belt that reads “In Memory of Benjamin Satterley 1986-2026.” The redesigned championship also features a special engraved side plate honoring PAC, along with details that pay tribute to his wrestling career.
The tribute carries extra meaning because PAC was a former AEW World Trios Champion himself. He held the titles alongside Penta El Zero Miedo and Rey Fenix as part of Death Triangle before later winning them again with Claudio Castagnoli and Wheeler Yuta as a member of the Death Riders.
PAC passed away on September 27, 2026, leaving the wrestling world stunned. AEW has continued honoring him ever since, including a special tribute episode of Dynamite that celebrated his life and career. The timing of the redesign is also significant. PAC played a role in inspiring the name of AEW’s Full Gear pay-per-view, and the company previously included several references to him in this year’s event artwork.
The new championships were revealed just hours before AEW Full Gear 2026 at the Mortgage Matchup Center in Phoenix, Arizona. Hangman Page, Brody King, and Bandido are scheduled to defend the World Trios Championship against Swerve Strickland, Kofi Kingston, and Austin Creed in a Texas Deathmatch. AEW has already honored PAC several times since his passing, but putting his name directly on the World Trios Championship belts makes this tribute permanent. Every team that holds those titles will now carry a reminder of someone who helped build the division.
