So with AEW adding more time (Elevation becoming it's own thing, the future third hour of content) plus the seemingly ever expanding roster, It seems that more titles for people to be fighting over will be needed. I know more titles can have it's downsides as well (WWE's brand specific titles/NJPW many titles where half don't matter). With AEW at least I think one or two could help prop up the midcard as time goes on
Trios: This is the one I and others clamor for the most I feel. With the very group heavy booking in AEW and it's tag division being possibly the most deep tag division of all time I think a trios title could help give the lower tier teams something to fight over. It could even give both teams and singles stars something to do when not in the proper tag/singles titles scenes. I would rather have Jericho/PnP go for trios gold, than Jericho/Hager be in the tag title scene.
A Women's Tag: While the women's division has come a long way, AEW could show more time to division. Tag titles in theory could help. With a few moves could have the building blocks of a tag division. Statlander/Shida, La Sicarias, TayJay (when Anna is healthy), Velvet/Swole, Vicious Vixens (Rose plus someone like Jade/The Bunny). Add in signing up the Sea Stars who they seem semi interested in, teams from Impact, and some Joshi teams it could work build up a real Women's tag division
Women's Midcard: Now I am fairly sure that a Womens midcardish belt has never really been tried by a major promotion outside of all female. I don't think it could work currently with how the division is still finding it's footing at times, but I think it would be cool in theory to have a Women's TNT title.
Midcard Tag: Similar to the Trios title, this could work because of how stacked the tag division is. The last three champions have been two of the best teams in the current generation (FTR and the Young Bucks) and the current World Champion and one of the most popular on the roster (Omega and Page). That's a big drop to the Top Flights and Dark Orders or the division. Similarly while Trios titles have been done by a few major promotions, a second set of tag belts have not since the NWA's heyday. Would be a good way to make the World Tag Titles really be a huge achievement, in the way it's big when you can go from the IC title to the WWE title in theory.
Matchtype specific (pure, brawler, hardcore, highflyer): If anything this option could be having the FTW title be a hardcore or brawler title. I really just want the FTW title to mean something more than entrance gear at this point. Cage has held the belt longer than Taz himself did for crying out loud!
Youtube Exclusive (competed for on Dark/Elevation): One of the points of Dark is to "make it to Dynamite" in a sense. Would be good for guys like Johnson, Comoroto, JD Drake, and other Dark Regulars something concrete to fight over. Could even throw in a TV Title-esc rule where 7 defenses earns you a shot at the TNT Title itself on Dynamite.
Other: If you think of any I didn't
No More Title. This is a 100% valid option, more titles can devalue the ones that you have. Why should I as a fan care who is champion, when half the roster is?
