Japan talent's travel restrictions will be lifted by then if all goes according to plan I fully expect Ryo Mizunami in this tourney. Yuka Sakazaki if she isn't busy and Maki Itoh would be huge. WrestlePrincess is this weekend, I will keep an eye on it, because if Maki wins the PoP title then she wont be in the tournament BUT it could mean that Miyu Yamashita will finally have an US excursion. A stupid reason to watch the best wrestling show scheduled for this week.

Ruby Soho as first champ? She'd be one of my top picks. Rosa is another.

It's obviously super early, but I'd like AEW to build an aura and competitor base around this title in a way they haven't with the TNT belt. I wanted Archer or Sammy/Darby to win the TNT tournament originally, because I liked the idea of having the belt be the center of a division of bigger dudes (like Progress' Atlas championship) or a belt for younger guys to cement them (almost like how the Intercontinental championship was once a stepping stone for younger guys). I liked Brodie's and Miro's runs overall so far, but all others have felt flat.
Their issues with booking the women won't necessarily be solved by having another belt around, and might be even trickier with a secondary belt with no real differentiating factor between that and the women's world title. Do you focus on the more "smash-mouth" style of wrestler like Tay/Hayter? Do you create/spotlight a younger undercard of talents like Leyla/Skye? Or is this all to have Jade carry gold without holding the division hostage and keeping the main belt with workhorses like Britt and Rosa (a reverse-Hogan, if you will)?

I think it's a relatively safe bet that whoever wins is going to beat Jade in the finals. She's kind of a viable threat to win but I don't see AEW actually putting the belt on her to start with because she is waaaaay too not-good to be the centerpiece of a new division.

The tournament, especially the final, would be a very appropriate setting for Jade's winning streak to be snapped IMO. You want that kind of winning streak ending to feel like a big deal (as in, the exact opposite of the suggestion that she lose the triple threat with Rosa pinning Nyla).

Beautiful belt, easily my favorite of their designs so far. I like that it's less blatantly "here, look at the logo" compared to the TNT title, and I love that they didn't feel the need to tack a "womens" qualifier onto it. We're long overdue for a womens' belt without the usual "just like the mens' version, but ..." type of name.

Wait, the "Champion" ribbon is light blue... ergo... Skye Blue will be your first TBS Champion. TBS= The Booty Strap

Love the way the title looks. It looks like a proper championship, and not a giant egg.

Ruby Soho as first champ? SRS is pretty convinced that Jade gets the belt since she isn't ready to be the world champ yet and feels this title could help her transition to that role

So will the mens stay the TNT championship even though Dynamite is moving to TBS? Rampage is staying on TNT right? So will it only be defended there?
On topic good looking belt and I love a womens secondary belt. I would prefer tag team belts but then they would have to sign a lot more women to fill out a division. A new singles belt lets them use the women they have better and keep new signings elite, so to speak.

If they ever have a show where it's the focal point they could call it 6:05 Live
