Listing of men's professional wrestling secondary championships in All Elite Wrestling

Inaugural AEW TNT Champion Cody Rhodes.

The American professional wrestling promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW) has maintained several secondary championships since its inception in 2019. The company's first secondary championship was the AEW TNT Championship, which was established in 2020 for the men's division.

AEW currently promotes four secondary championships. The secondary championships include the AEW TNT Championship, the AEW International Championship, and the AEW Continental Championship for the men's division; and the AEW TBS Championship for the women's division.

## Summary of championships

[edit]

### Male

[edit]

#### AEW TNT Championship (2020–present)

[edit]

Main article: AEW TNT Championship

The AEW TNT Championship is the first secondary championship established by AEW. Established on March 30, 2020, it is named after the TNT television network, which currently airs AEW's weekly programs, Collision and Rampage, as well as the promotion's Battle of the Belts quarterly television specials. The inaugural champion was Cody Rhodes.

#### AEW International Championship (2022–present)

[edit]

Main article: AEW International Championship

The AEW International Championship is the third secondary championship established by AEW. Established on June 8, 2022, it was originally introduced as the AEW All-Atlantic Championship, but was rebranded as the AEW International Championship in March 2023 due to AEW's broadcast partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery.[1] The title was created to represent AEW's fans from around the world, but with no particular focus on the Atlantic Ocean or countries surrounding it, despite the title's original name. The inaugural champion was Pac. Since its establishment, the title has been defended in the Revolution Pro Wrestling and Over the Top Wrestling promotions, although most of its defenses have occurred in AEW, the latter of which has included defenses against wrestlers from New Japan Pro-Wrestling.

#### AEW Continental Championship (2023–present)

[edit]

Main article: AEW Continental Championship

The AEW Continental Championship is the fourth secondary championship established by AEW. The inaugural champion was Eddie Kingston, who was also declared the American Triple Crown Champion (also referred to as the Continental Crown) upon winning the title, as he simultaneously held the ROH World Championship of sister promotion Ring of Honor (ROH) and the Strong Openweight Championship of partner promotion New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW). By being part of the Triple Crown Championship, the Continental Championship is recognized by AEW, ROH, and NJPW and can be defended in all three promotions.

The title was separated from the Triple Crown in March 2024. The rules of the title were then clarified that title matches are contested under Continental Rules in which no one is allowed at ringside and outside interference is strictly prohibited. Additionally, whoever is champion at the time of the annual Continental Classic (C2) is automatically entered into the tournament and defends the title in the C2.

### Female

[edit]

#### AEW TBS Championship (2021–present)

[edit]

Main article: AEW TBS Championship

The AEW TBS Championship is the second secondary championship established by AEW. Established on October 6, 2021, it is the secondary championship of the promotion's female division, and the inaugural champion was Jade Cargill. It is named after the TBS television network, which currently airs AEW's flagship program, Dynamite.
