Kofi Kingston and Austin Creed not only made a great impression on the audience during AEW All In 2026. The new AEW Trios World Champions also reportedly received praise backstage for the way they conducted themselves after their debut.

According to PWInsider, Kingston and Creed made an effort to introduce themselves and get to know virtually every staff member and talent they could after the show. Several people within AEW were particularly impressed by the attitude of both wrestlers, who arrived at the company after many successful years in WWE.

As per the report, neither of them acted as if they were above others because of their career paths. Both Kingston and Creed were described as very open individuals when discussing creative ideas and approachable during their interactions with AEW wrestlers and employees.

A debut hard to top

Kingston and Creed debuted in AEW under the name New Level during All In 2026. They were introduced as the mysterious partners of Swerve Strickland in the Trios Royale Roulette match held at Wembley Stadium.

The surprise didn't end with their entrance. Swerve, Kingston, and Creed survived the chaotic encounter and left the stadium as the new AEW Trios World Champions. In this way, New Level secured championship gold on their first night with the company.

Kingston and Creed came to AEW with extensive experience and numerous achievements in WWE, but apparently left their egos at the door. Between winning the trios titles and making a good impression backstage, New Level had a practically ideal start in their new chapter.
