The TNT Title (Brodie's Version) has been retired.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

Per Tony on the AEW Post-Show, the TNT Title has been retired, given to Brodie Lee Jr. at the end of the show tonight as he was crowned "Champion for Life"

I don't know what that means for the future, if Darby gets a new belt, if a new belt is made. I know one thing, that's a hell of a gesture. Brodie said when he was champion, all Brodie Jr. did was sleep with that title... so now he has it for the rest of his life.

Brodie meant what he said when he took it from Cody, "This belt, is MINE."

Edit: The Belts lineage is still gonna remain intact, Tony clarified a new belt is in the works but the one Brodie won is officially Brodie Jr's forever.

Grand gesture from them. That way he's always part of them now

[Dub H]

That is an amazing act by AEW.

[Terry McConkey]

Will they create a new championship in place?

[Bang Bang Bart]

I’m guessing Darby gets awarded a new title that’s basically the TNT Championship, but under a different name, for obvious reasons.

[Zone Was Wrong]

They crowned him the greatest TNT champion and gave the title to -1, I don't think I've ever seen a company do something like that before.

[Chiral]

I was just thinking it'd be nice to just retire that specific style of the belt in tribute but ending the belt outright makes a much bigger statement.

[chrom]

They are going to make a new belt for it

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

Tony clarified that the TNT Title and its lineage is still intact, a new belt is being made, and will more than likely be revealed in two weeks.

This is the third iteration of this belt already, kinda wonder if they'll keep customizing it for certain champions.

I am guessing it will just be a TV title, which is what the TNT really was

But man, AEW is a classy company

I clarified in the OP but the TNT Title will remain, but the design is getting revamped so it's a new belt.

Wow.

Just.. how do you NOT support this company? They may not get everything right, but they TRY to do as much right as possible..

Tonight is just yet another example of this.

Seriously, for all the bullshit you hear from big companies claiming to be "families" and all that crap (odd, my family's furloughed me twice without pay this year...), Tony Khan seems like a really f***ing stand up guy who is creating an amazing working environment. I've had those kind of manager's before, but to have it be the top exec of the company? That's amazing.

That said, I love that each TNT champ has had their own design, and I love that Brodie's has been retired. If they could keep that up for each champ, that'd be amazing, but I assume that would start getting really expensive.

That was my thought. If not new designs, maybe they can do something with the center or side plates to make it distinctive for each champion

Maybe like with The NWA Women's Title they can put the picture of the current Champ on it.

That actually goes rather well with the "When you have this belt, you are the face, and the Ace, of TNT" thing.

[Mozenrath]

I liked the belt and hope that when they make a Brodie figure, they can give him that as a pack-in, but I think this is the right move, making a new one. I presume that Cody probably has possession of the bare belt, just since the bits of the smashed belt he got hit with, I assume that was a prop.

Wonder what the third will be like.

[Chainsaw]

Somebody in a Discord said that the next title's strap should be purple in honor of Brodie, and honestly, a purple and silver belt would look so much better on Darby right now.

I'd be cool with that, certainly.

The Champion gets Pharoah.
