First Match Announced For This Weekend's AEW Battle Of The Belts
The Acclaimed will defend their AEW World Trios Championship against Daniel Garcia, Daddy Magic, and Cool Hand Ang at Battle of the Belts VIII on Saturday night. The company announced the news on Monday morning.
This is the first match announced for the event that will take place live on Saturday night from Memphis. No other matches have been announced at this time.
The Battle of the Belts event is a quarterly program for AEW on TNT. Battle of the Belts was added to the AEW slate of programming when the company renegotiated their television deal with Turner and moved the Dynamite property to TBS at the beginning of 2021.
The Acclaimed have held the AEW World Trios Championships since the All In event from Wembley Stadium at the end of August. The trio defeated House of Black to win the titles. Billy Gunn returned to the group for the match after retiring during the build to the match.
They have successfully defended their titles seven times since winning them and include notable wins against teams like TMDK, The Dark Order, Isaiah Cassidy & The Hardy's, The Outrunner's, and Jay Lethal, Jeff Jarrett, & Satnam Singh.
