AEW CREATE TWO NEW BELTS AND UNIFY TITLES SOON
The first of these involves the unification of two existing belts: the AEW International Championship and the AEW Continental Championship. The company plans to hold a decisive match between the current champions, Kenny Omega and Kazuchika Okada, in a “Winner Takes All” match, where the winner will walk away with a new unified title. This match is being planned for the All In event, scheduled for July 12. The decision to unify these titles is part of AEW's strategy to reduce the number of active championships and further value those that remain on the scene. This approach follows the same path recently adopted with the dissolution of the FTW Championship.
In addition, there are reports that AEW is also developing two new belts that will be linked to the traditional Owen Hart Cup. The proposal is that the winners of the men's and women's tournaments will receive personalized belts in black and pink, in honor of Owen Hart. These titles will be presented during the Double or Nothing pay-per-view, scheduled for May 29. However, it is still unclear whether these belts will be used continuously in weekly programming or if they will function only as symbolic trophies linked to the annual tournament.
With these changes, AEW shows that it is willing to reformulate its presentation of titles to keep its product relevant and competitive. The unification of belts promises to increase the prestige of the new division, while the possible Owen Hart Cup titles can reinforce the tradition and respect for the legacy that the company seeks to preserve.
Now we just have to wait for the company's official decisions and the developments of these plans. Surely, the upcoming events will bring news that will shake up the professional wrestling scene.
