Didn’t they have a blow off match 2 months ago? Have I missed something?
I seem to recall them having a Trios match on PPV which got pushed to the pre-PPV show.There was no real blowoff match. Fenix got injured and PAC had one of his regular disappearances back to the UK. Penta was left by himself picking up wins on Dark/Elevation, but in his promos he said he hasn't forgotten about HoB. HoB did a sidequest of killing Fuego while they waited for PAC/Fenix to come back.
These matches still haven't happened from this feud:
PAC vs. Malakai
PAC/Fenix/Penta vs. Malakai/Brody/Buddy (the full six-man tag, Erick Redbeard subbed for Fenix at the PPV buy-in)
Penta vs. Malakai
Penta vs. Buddy
Fenix vs. Buddy
PAC vs. Brody
Penta vs. Brody
Fenix vs. Malakai
Malakai/Buddy vs. Lucha Bros
And several others...
They could get a lot more juice out of it if they want to run singles matches. Or they could just end it with a six-man tag. They haven't gone through most of the options. I like this feud and was disappointed it just went away, since both groups have a good aesthetic and are genuine three-man tag units. This feud seems built for a big six-man gimmick match (Graveyard Match?) or to determine the first trios champions. Also, I doubt few would disagree that Malakai vs. PAC would be a better TNT Title feud than what's been going on with that belt.
Only if Eddie Kingston also challenges Jericho to a Human Torch match.Since the feud transitioned from Andrade vs. PAC to Malakai vs. PAC (via that weird Cody/PAC vs. Malakai/Andrade match where they swapped feuds with Cody vs. Andrade also starting), these are the only actual matches that have happened between the groups:
AEW Dynamite #122 - TV-Show @ Wintrust Arena in Chicago, Illinois, USA
Kings Of The Black Throne (Brody King & Malakai Black) defeat Death Triangle (PAC & Penta El Zero Miedo) (10:23)
AEW Dynamite #125 - TV-Show @ Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA
Death Triangle (PAC & Penta Oscuro) defeat Kings Of The Black Throne (Brody King & Malakai Black) (7:31)
AEW Revolution 2022 - The Buy In - TV-Show @ Addition Financial Arena in Orlando, Florida, USA
House Of Black (Brody King, Buddy Matthews & Malakai Black) defeat Death Triangle (PAC & Penta Oscuro) & Erick Redbeard (17:23)
So basically, in terms of marquee matches they've barely scratched the surface despite the feud beginning around November (with the lengthy break due to PAC/Fenix being out). They could easily make this a one-year feud if they're imaginative, because there are a lot of interesting combos and stipulations they could do (Graveyard Match being an intriguing option).
