As the wrestling landscape continues to evolve, Kofi has revealed that Novel Level’s AEW entrance music was secured less than 24 hours before he and Austin Creed made their surprise debuts at All In: London.
The former WWE stars debuted at Wembley Stadium to “Fresh Level” by A$AP Ferg. Future, an appropriate choice given the name of their new team and the beginning of the next chapter of their careers.
Speaking with Ariel Helwani on The Ariel Helwani Show, Kofi clarified that the idea originated with Creed while they were still negotiating their AEW contracts. “Tony said he thinks he can do that and make it work. “With regard to how we got the actual music is crazy because when we were negotiating the contracts, Austin says, ‘Ask them if we can get Fresh Level as an entrance song,’” Kofi commented. Furthermore, we went, ‘What?!?!’ Now, it’s real, and we have to figure out how to make it happen.”
AEW initially attempted to secure the rights to the song, yet Kofi shared there were difficulties getting in contact with the appropriate people. That prompted Kofi and Creed to begin working their own connections. “I think they contacted Sony but they were having trouble getting in touch with them. “We called E because he is Mr. We put in some calls,” Kofi continued — hip Hop and Mr. Rap, figuring he might have a connection. ‘Who should we talk to?’”
Sizable E didn’t have a direct connection to Ferg, still proposed they contact erstwhile WWE writer Kaz and Peter Rosenberg.
That recommendation ultimately provided the breakthrough they needed. “Pete knows Ferg, ‘I’m gonna call Ferg and his manager.’ Literally, within 20 minutes, ‘Yup, they’re down. “We contacted Kaz and Rosenberg and explained the situation,” Kofi said. They’re going to talk to the right people.’”
Once contact had been established, the process moved remarkably quickly — with the song being cleared just in time for their Wembley Stadium appearance. “He linked up Ferg’s manager with AEW and we made it happen in less than 24 hours before we debuted,” Kofi revealed. “What opened with as a thought Austin had while listening to music on the treadmill came to a close up coming to reality because he put it into the universe.”
Ferg acknowledged New Level’s arrival following All In by sharing footage of their debut on social media. “Welcome back Kofi and Austin Creed — it’s AH NEW DAY !!!” he wrote.
Kofi and Creed debuted as Recently introduced Level during the Trios Roulette contest at All In, where they linked up with forces with Swerve Strickland.
Their maiden night in AEW ended with belt gold, as the trio left Wembley Stadium as the novel AEW World Trios Champions.
