Alright, let’s talk about the AEW TNT title. It caught my eye pretty early on when AEW started hitting its stride. Looked different, you know? That red strap, then the different custom versions later. I figured, okay, this is one of their main belts, maybe I should try and keep up with who’s holding it.
So, I started off just trying to remember. Cody Rhodes, obviously, the first guy. That felt pretty straightforward. Then Mr. Brodie Lee, which was a really powerful moment, especially looking back. God rest his soul. After that, things started moving faster, or maybe it just felt that way.
I remember thinking I should make a little list, just for myself. Went online, did some searching. Found the basic lineage, sure. Cody, Brodie, Darby Allin – that dude held it for a while, felt like he was always defending it in some crazy match. Then Miro came along. Man, The Redeemer era was something else. He felt unstoppable for a bit.
Keeping that list updated, though? That became the challenge. Sammy Guevara won it, lost it, won it back. Then Scorpio Sky got involved. Then Wardlow had that big moment. It felt like every few months, sometimes even quicker, things were changing. You had defences on Dynamite, defences on Rampage, sometimes PPVs.
Honestly, trying to keep perfect track felt like a chore after a while. It wasn’t like the old days, where a champion might hold a secondary belt for like, a year or more. This TNT title felt way more dynamic, maybe a bit chaotic.
Finding the Details
Sometimes finding the exact date or show where the title change happened took a bit of clicking around. You’d find one list, then another with slightly different info. Was it that Dynamite, or the Battle of the Belts special? You get the idea. I wasn’t trying to be a historian or anything, just wanted a clear picture in my head.
- Cody Rhodes
- Brodie Lee
- Darby Allin
- Miro
- Sammy Guevara
- Scorpio Sky
- Wardlow
- Powerhouse Hobbs
- Luchasaurus
- Christian Cage
- Adam Copeland
Putting that simple list together helped for a bit. But even then, remembering the order, the number of reigns for guys like Sammy… yeah. It gets complicated fast if you let it.
So, what I do now? I mostly just watch the shows. I know who the current TNT champion is, usually. But meticulously tracking every single reign, every defence? Nah. I kind of gave up on keeping a perfect record. It’s more fun just seeing the story unfold each week. Who’s gonna step up? Who’s gonna get that shot? That unpredictability is part of the fun with this specific title, I guess. It feels like a real workhorse belt, always in the mix, and trying to pin down its history perfectly takes some effort.
