On last Saturday’s Collision, AEW made the curious decision to strip the Bang Bang Gang of their Unified Trios championship. We say curious, because we haven’t heard much before or since about the Jay White injury used as justification for the move, and because it wasn’t that long ago the promotion did a whole storyline about MJF defending the Ring of Honor Tag titles by himself when his partner was injured.
Anyway... the belts won’t be vacant for long. While collecting them, Interim EVP Christopher Daniels told the healthy members of the BBG — Juice Robinson and Austin & Colten Gunn — they’d get a chance to regain the championship by facing the man that injured White in storyline, Christian Cage, and his team, The Patriarchy.
The Bang Bang Gang were STRIPPED of the AEW Unified Trios Champships last Saturday on #AEWCollision, but they're taking aim at winning them back as soon as possible!

And on the July 17 episode of Dynamite, we found that match will take place this Saturday on Collision.
Then after Wednesday’s show went off the air (at least on the east coast), Tony Khan also added the just-returned Darby Allin to the card:
