AEW has announced Battle for The Belts, airing on TNT on January 8th.
With the move to TBS starting on January 5th, this looks to be the first of the planned TNT Specials and will feature every title being defended

January, April, July, October seem like they'd be the perfect slots for these TNT specials, to complement the current PPV calendar.
Every title defended is such a classic wrestling trope.
I assume the TBS Champ gets crowned on Jan 5th, a few days before this, so maybe right off the bat they have an instant title defence.

It makes all of the belts and champions seem important when you have a special show dedicated purely to their defence.

So will it be every title defended?
Or special champ vs. champ matches I wonder?

There's the reveal of that name finally. People were speculating it was a supershow but I imagine the defense of every AEW belt will keep the card pretty filled out regardless.

Shouldn’t it be “battle for the belts”? Sounds like the champions are fighting each other
This the whole “clash of the champions” thing all over again

As long as it's not on the same day as an Impact PPV, I'm all for this.

So the first defense of the TBS title will be on TNT? Kind of funny that.

So...does this mean Hard To Kill is gonna start at 10, too? The 5 people still watching Impact will have to stay up late. They should change the name to Hard To Sleep.

So now the questions I have will be:
- Will we get the Trios Belts on this show or at least announced here?
- Will the FTW Title also be defended? It'd make sense
Some belts I assume change hands. Too long away to tell who would be champions though. It'll be fun!

I assume this is where the expected Hangman/Moxley title match happens.

I assume this is where the expected Hangman/Moxley title match happens. Possibly but that's a bit of a ways away from Full Gear. Almost two months. You can do it but it might not make for great weekly TV to hold it off that long. And given the nature of the tournament, it would be odd for anyone to get the shot before Moxley. I think Moxley could be a huge TV match and you have a wide cast of characters for a special TV title match like this (plus a whole host of other title matches you could put on).

Yeah, I think it's more likely Hangman vs. the Full Gear tournament winner happens at Winter is Coming, or whatever they call the special December Dynamite this year.

What I kind of suspect is happening is Danielson wins the tournament and that's the last thing needed to completely push Moxley over the edge. You'd have time to have Hangman beat Bryan at Winter is Coming then pull the trigger on Moxley turning all the way and then challenging at this show.

We now have a venue for Battle of the Belts: Charlotte, NC at the Bojangles Center, last used for Fight for the Fallen 2021.
