Kofi Kingston and Austin Creed Leave WWE for AEW After Pay Cuts

Former WWE wrestlers Kofi Kingston and Austin Creed, now known as New Level, have made headlines following their recent AEW debut. They aligned with Swerve Strickland at AEW All In, where they secured the AEW Trios Championships in London.

Their exit from WWE was prompted by the company offering them diminished roles and salaries, which ultimately led to their decision to leave after years with the organization.

In a discussion with CBS Sports, Kofi reflected on the challenges of leaving WWE, acknowledging the uncertainty of their future but expressing excitement about the opportunities in AEW. New Level is set to defend their AEW World Trios Championship against The Rascalz in an upcoming episode of Dynamite.
