Below are a couple of top AEW news stories of the day.
• During the AEW Double Or Nothing 2024 post-show media scrum, Tony Khan talked about introducing new titles to All Elite Wrestling, like the Women’s Tag Team Championship.
Khan noted that he’s really interested in Mixed (Men & Women) Tag Team Championship.
Here’s what the AEW CEO said:
“We’ve talked a lot about potential additions in terms of championships. Right now, we have strong rivalries emerging. We’re still trying to build the depth back to the strongest it’s ever been.
There was a point, All Out 2021, where I was coaching the Casino Battle Royal, and we had 21 women in that Battle Royale and a great Britt Baker vs. Kris Statlander championship match. That was, top to bottom, up until now, the deepest the division has ever been.
A lot of great people in that match have been out or injured. We’re going to keep getting depth back and getting the division stronger. Those are interesting championships.
I also think something different we could do here that I have interest in would be Mixed Tag Team Championships. I think a lot of people would be interested in that, too.
That’s different than what other major promotions have, and I think it would set AEW apart. I’m interested in Mixed Tag Team Championships.”
• Bryan Alvarez provided the following injury updates from AEW Double Or Nothing 2024:
“Adam Copeland was hurt on the cage dive, but I don’t know the severity yet.
Jack Perry was fine after the fire spot, no issues.
Darby Allin was hurt, but got checked out at the hospital and it appears he is OK, no major injuries.”
