Matt Sydal Wants To Reunite With Kofi And Team With The New Level In Place Of Swerve Strickland

Matt Sydal is interested in reuniting Air Boom with Kofi in AEW, pitching potentially replacing Swerve Strickland in a trio with the New Level.

Prior to the two men finding their way to WWE, both Sydal and Kofi had significant runs in WWE, with the pair at one point teaming together as the team known as Air Boom, capturing the WWE Tag Titles.

While speaking in a new interview with MuscleManMalcolm in a new interview, Matt Sydal spoke about potentially reuniting with and teaming with Kofi.

“I mean, I think I would be a great teammate. They’re running into some problems with Swerve because he’s – heavyweight champion. He’s on his own trajectory. Austin Creed, Kofi Kingston, plus Matt Sydal. That’s a trio that the family can see. Bring your grandma. Bring your kids. Come watch us. We’ll have some fun. I am like, when I saw Kofi for the first time in the locker room, because I didn’t know he was going to be like, and all of a sudden we’re there looking at each other, and it was just like old times. It was as if no time had passed, and he’s timeless. I mean, he looks the same, no doubt about it. Maybe even a little better. But the bottom line is we’ve always been at the peak of the business. We’re always trying to do our best. We’re always trying to top ourselves, and that mentality kind of just keeps us going. So the same core material that Air Boom came from is simmering in the AEW locker room as we speak. It’s going to simmer a little bit longer, but it’ll boil over.”

Austin Creed recently noted that he and Kofi feel ‘revitalized’ now that they are in All Elite Wrestling. You can read more about that here.
