What I'm really eager to see is the first truTV Champion.

Sal Vulcano or i riot.

I think it’s a thing of beauty. Reminds me of the attitude era belt.

I’d rather get BQ, but both are huge wrestling fans so I’m sure they end up doing something with AEW at some point. Hell, BQ was just talking on his podcast about how enjoyable AEW is and it just makes him happy to be a wrestling fan.

That's easily my favourite looking belt in a long time. Kind of a shame how much better it looks than the Women's World Title though.

That belt belongs to Tay Conti!

I just realized it looks like it says...hos..on it.

What is the hos title? Something from a JR dream.

That which The Godfather's girls competed for

Dont think I have seen her mentioned but I think a good pick is Anna Jay. Homegrown talent not really ready for the big one. Also a very nice nod to Brodie.

Part of me would love Emi Sakura as the first champion. Barring her, Ruby, Deeb, Tay Conti, or Statlander are all great choices.

Sorta wouldn't be shocked if Nyla Rose ended up as the first woman to hold both.

Thks is cool.

Hopefully like that guy towards the front's sign said, it means we might start getting a second women's match.

I remember when AEW started, Matt Jackson said they would equally focus on singles, tag, womens, and women's tag wrestling. That still hasn't happened. I realize Matt Jackson doesn't have much creative control these days, but TK being the huge wrestling fan he is should want this anyway. AEW is an almost perfect promotion. They just need to get the women's division on par with the mens and it will be the greatest wrestling promotion of all time in my opinion.

That's a bad looking title. The center piece really detracts from the rest not even the little blue swish at the bottom can save it

The title is also a good way to constantly remind your audience about the move to TBS and they'll be able to plug it in ways that aren't especially annoying.

If it's happening over the next two months then please do the matches on Dynamite and Rampage and not on youtube. There is no excuse not to.

With it being streched over two months, I can imagine the matches will be on Dynamite and Rampage.

Depending on how big the Tourney is I don't see how the matches aren't on Dynamite. This Tournament is also being done to promote their move to TBS... putting it on the Youtube shows wouldn't make much sense.

Curious as to who is in it and how many are going to be in it. I'm guessing either Ruby or Jade are going to win. The former as a consolation to make up for her not winning the World Title due to it being too soon to take the title off Britt. The latter because they clearly want to push her really hard and make her a big deal.

Personally I would rather see someone like Tay win it as unlike the two I mentioned she's further away from winning the World Title and it would be a good starting block for good push for her. I think it would also work well with her with her being a fighting workhorse babyface champion who defends against all comers every week.

Realistically you could have this as a lineup:

- Jade
- Rosa
- Nyla
- Ruby
- Shida
- Deeb
- Conti
- Anna
- Penelope
- Bunny 
- Ryo Mizunami
- Leyla
- Sakura
- Skye Blue
- Red Velvet
- Kris Stalander

That's a really great 16 woman tourney fold... and you can still swap out some of these girls because the roster still has

- Abadon
- Riho (If back in time)
- Hayter
- King
- Big Swole
- Diamante
- Kiera Hogan
- Madi Wrenkowski
- Leva Bates
- Rebel
- Kayla Rossi (Eventually will wrestle I assume)
- Yuka (Probably too busy though)
- Lulu (She CAN wrestle)

It all depends on how much you want to do. Do you want a bigger Tournament? Do you want Tournament Qualifiers you can play out on DARK and Elevation to give some girls an official spot in the main thing? That might not be a bad idea. The perks to this is that you have a really good roster with a lot of depth to play with now. A vast improvement from even last year...

The tournament had better be on TV. It’s a belt named after a TV station for goodness sake.

[Deleted]

Good idea and will in time elevate the belt Baker currently holds as most of the challengers will be former TBS champs. Kind of like how a notable IC reign back in the day was seen as a requirement before entering the main event (god knows what purpose it serves now). I think WWE once viewed the nxt title as their women's "gateway" belt as the first five champs all went on to win WWE titles but again interest seems to have slipped.

Was it? During the 15 years after the belt was introduced the only WWE Champions to have held it were Savage, Warrior, Bret, and Diesel. There were more frequent ones after Michaels, but I'm not really sure how much you can count Austin's two single-month-long Intercontinental title reigns or Triple H's brief flirtations with it as notable and you still had people like Foley and Kane in there.
