The Latest Team for King of Trios Has Emerged from the Deep

The terror from the waves is coming for the Trios medallions

For a year-plus now, the Creatures from the Deep have been terrorizing Chikara. Formed by an Ashley Vox who was possessed by a maritime demon to become Oceanea, the group has made its presence known through vicious attacks with numbers. While groups like The Crucible have seemingly minimized the aqueous threat posed by Oceanea, Merlok, Hermit Crab, and Cajun Crawdad, one should not take this group lightly, especially now that their leader has emerged from the great sea, ready to conquer King of Trios. Oceanea has only made two appearances thus far this season, and she will come back to lead Merlok and Hermit Crab into glorious battle. She will reclaim King of Trios for Atlantis, or at least that is her aim. What land-loving team will stop them? Honestly, it's hard to say. Oceanea brings a certain amount of domineering chaos through her leadership. The wily Crab is her tactician, while Merlok's relatively hulking frame will be her hammer. If you want a sleeper team to take the whole thing, you'd be hard pressed to find a better team than the Creatures of the Deep.

With the Creatures of the Deep, the King of Trios field is halfway filled. Oceanea's rowdy bunch of crustaceans and sea serpents will join in the fray with:

• Team Pump (Scott Steiner, Jordynne Grace, Petey Williams)
• The Ancient Order of Nations (Mick Moretti, Adam Hoffman, Jack Bonza)
• The Carnies (Kerry Awful, Nick Iggy, Tripp Cassidy)
• The Embassy (Prince Nana, Jimmy Rave, Sal Rinauro)
• The VeloCities (Mat Diamond, Jude London, Paris DeSilva)
• Team FIST (Icarus, Tony Deppen, Travis Huckabee)
• The Crucible (Ophidian, The Whisper, Lance Steel)

Also announced for King of Trios weekend for the Rey de Voladores tournament is Boomer Hatfield, who will look to continue his momentum after winning his dad's mask (watched the match over the weekend, and yes, it is a must-see, match of the year candidate) with the secondary tournament from Trios weekend. In addition to the the two tournaments, night 3 will contain a tag team gauntlet which is always fun. You can get tickets to any or all three of the nights on chikarapro.com. The event will happen October 4-6 in Reading, PA at the Goodwill Beneficial Association.
