History

Perspective
On the March 4, 2020, episode of Dynamite, Pac formed an alliance with the Lucha Brothers, naming themselves Death Triangle after attacking Orange Cassidy, Chuck Taylor, and Trent.[4] Shortly thereafter, Pac became inactive due to COVID-19 travel restrictions,[5] while the Lucha Brothers aligned with Eddie Kingston and his stable. Pac returned to AEW television on the November 11, 2020, episode of Dynamite, confronting Kingston.[6] The following week, Death Triangle reunited after the Lucha Brother assisted Pac during an attack by Kingston, The Butcher, and The Blade.[7]
At Revolution on March 7, 2021, Pac and Rey Fenix won the Casino Tag Team Royale to earn a future AEW World Tag Team Championship match.[8] On the April 14 episode of Dynamite, they challenged The Young Bucks for the titles but were unsuccessful.[9] At All Out on September 5, the Lucha Brothers, with Alex Abrahantes as their manager, defeated The Young Bucks in a steel cage match to win the AEW World Tag Team Championship.[10] They successfully defended the titles against FTR at Full Gear.[11] On the January 5, 2022, episode of Dynamite, Lucha Brothers lost the championships to Jurassic Express (Jungle Boy and Luchasaurus), ending their reign at 122 days. During the match, Fenix sustained a dislocated elbow.[12]
Following Fenix’s injury, Penta El Zero Miedo adopted the "Penta Oscuro" persona and ring name.[13][14] At the Revolution pre-show on March 6, Pac, Penta Oscuro, and Erick Redbeard were defeated by the House of Black in a six-man tag team match.[15] Fenix returned on the April 27 episode of Dynamite, disguised as Alex Abrahantes, and assisted Pac and Penta Oscuro in attacking the House of Black.[16] At Double or Nothing on May 29, Death Triangle lost to the House of Black after interference from Julia Hart.[17]
At Forbidden Door on June 26, Pac won a four-way match to become the inaugural AEW All-Atlantic Champion. Death Triangle subsequently entered the tournament to crown the inaugural AEW World Trios Champions but were eliminated in the first round by United Empire (Will Ospreay, Mark Davis, and Kyle Fletcher). After the Trios Championship was vacated, Death Triangle defeated Best Friends (Chuck Taylor, Trent Beretta, and Orange Cassidy) on the September 7 episode of Dynamite to win the vacant titles, making Pac a double champion.[18] They held the championship until January 11, 2023, when they lost them to The Elite (Kenny Omega, and The Young Bucks) in a ladder match that concluded a Best of Seven Series.
After a brief hiatus, Pac returned on the March 6, 2024, episode of Collision, assisting Eddie Kingston and the Lucha Brothers during an attack by The Elite (The Young Bucks, and Kazuchika Okada). On March 13 at Big Business, Pac, Penta El Zero Miedo, and Kingston were defeated by The Elite.[19] At Double or Nothing on May 26, Death Triangle unsuccessfully challenged the Bang Bang Gang (Jay White, Austin Gunn, and Colten Gunn) for both the AEW World Trios Championship and the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship.[20] Following the event, Death Triangle quietly disbanded, with Pac joining Death Riders, while the Lucha Brothers subsequently departed AEW.[21][22]
