5 Reasons why AEW needs another championship

AEW is still relatively young in terms of professional wrestling promotions. The promotion has four titles up for grabs. Apart from these, there are some cross-promotion titles like the FTW, Impact and NWA title.

Most wrestling promotions have world titles, mid-card titles, tag team belts, and a women's Championship. AEW has all of those, but the roster is growing by the month.

Apart from newbies, there are stars like CM Punk, Andrade, and Malakai Black. More names are potentially on their way. Many AEW stars are yet to hoist a title.

WWE is an exception due to its roster of superstars. It has two separate brands or shows and each show has its own set of titles.

This isn't to say that the newly-introduced AEW Rampage should have its own titles. But with the promotion's growth, it should introduce another Championship for its roster. Tony Khan even teased that another title may be on the way.

Here are five reasons why AEW must have another title under its umbrella.

Complete List of all the Champions in AEW

#5 It would be easy for AEW to build another storyline around another title.

The easiest way to sell a storyline in pro wrestling is to have a Champion to defend his or her title. A star could cheat to win a belt, another superstar could interfere in costing a Champion his or her title to name a few possibilities.

The simplest reason why AEW needs another title is that it gives the writers to come up with interesting storylines. Although that doesn't mean only title-centric angles are worthy of air time. It's just that it makes secondary feuds and storylines easier to build.

Booking two legends against each other writes itself. The current top star facing an icon from the past is also easier to sell.

But with another title under its guidance, AEW can push different stars other than big-names like Jon Moxley, The Elite and Chris Jericho. A title also adds an element of prestige to the storyline.

#4 Some current big-name AEW stars have yet to win titles.

When a big name in wrestling shows up in AEW, it's a big deal. Jon Moxley, Sting, and CM Punk are the biggest instances of big-name wrestlers joining the promotion.

The additions of Malakai Black, Andrade, and some more stars will help out in the long run. Chavo Guerrero, Mark Henry, and Paul Wight all joined AEW as well.

AEW can introduce a Legends Championship like TNA Impact used to have. However, the veterans are there for purposes other than in-ring action.

Moxley and Jericho have already won the AEW Championship, but several big additions have not. Proud and Powerful are an asset to AEW but they are yet to win the Tag Team belts. Brian Cage is also a great signing, but until recently, he had been toiling away at Team Tazz.

The Lucha Bros are inarguably one of the top tag teams in the world. Unfortunately, they failed to grab the gold in several opportunities. FTR won the tag team titles but had a reign of only 63 days.

MJF has all the makings of a world champion but his trajectory does not include titles. He has won the Dynamite Diamond Ring, but that is nowhere near a championship.

Since so many big names have yet to even win the mid-card title in AEW, it seems like another Championship is needed.

The roster is growing by the month and AEW has added another show. Because of those factors alone, another title would be a good idea for AEW.

#3 Another title could give younger, less established AEW stars a chance.

Top stars like Orange Cassidy, Jungle Boy, and MJF haven't won any titles in AEW. Private Party and Top Flight are both young and could be the AEW Tag Team Champs in the future.

By creating or introducing another title, it would give those younger stars a chance with a belt. If their run with the new title is successful, then it could pave the way for an AEW Championship run.

Wardlow is a throwback to the old days thanks to his towering physique. He could be a future AEW Champion. Sammy Guevara is clearly one of the most talented stars in all of AEW but his career record is 26-23. He's very far away from being AEW Champion, but his talent is undeniable.

Since a good portion of the AEW roster are newbies, it would be a good idea to introduce another title. Some of the younger talents might have a long road to a title as opposed to someone like Allin or Orange Cassidy.

Mid-card titles used to be used to see if a performer was ready for the main event. If a star's run with the mid-card belt was successful, that star would eventually challenge for the World Championship.

That's what happened to Shawn Michaels and Bret Hart before running as the WWF Champion. The new title could give some of the younger and less established stars a chance at a title.

#2 The women of AEW need another title to chase.

WWE is so vast that it has three titles for women to chase. Since AEW is still figuring out its women's division, it's understandable that it only has one belt in comparison.

But as AEW continues to grow and turns its weaknesses into strengths, there will be a need for another women's title. Over the past weeks, fans have witnessed several women team up as the Casino Battle Royale approaches.

Allie and Penelope Ford have joined forces while Anna Jay returned to the aid of her friend Tay Conti. All four women are in the battle royale.

Britt Baker has had Rebel by her side for a year. Jamie Hayter recently returned to AEW to join forces with Baker. Even Nyla Rose and Jade Cargill teamed up backstage to attack Thunder Rosa. Creating an AEW Women's Tag Team Championship might be a good decision now.

It would be hard to book two singles titles in one women's division. For that reason, having at least a set of tag team belts for the women would make some sense.

It would give even more credibility to why so many women are meaning up lately. Tag Team titles could also allow stars that aren't as big as Baker or Hikaru Shida a chance to be a Champion in AEW.

The men have three titles in AEW. In comparison, women have one. With evolving times and talent coming into their own, women are more than deserving of having another title in the promotion.

#1 The AEW roster is big enough for another Championship.

The simplest explanation for a new title in AEW is that the current roster is big enough to support another title. With the additions of Miro, Malaki Black, CM Punk, and Andrade, the roster is already stacked.

There are rumors that Daniel Bryan is heading to AEW so that he can also wrestle in New Japan. If that's true, he's another former WWE Champion that is worthy of a Championship.

Other big names like Adam Cole, Braun Strowman, and Bray Wyatt are technically free agents, but not for long. AEW is rapidly adding household names.

If one or all of the names other than Bryan join AEW, another title will become a necessity. There's so much talent in AEW already that the likes of Cage, Andrade, Pac and the Lucha Bros are yet to win titles. Andrade joined AEW only a few months ago and he's already been treated as a big deal.

Jungle Boy, Darby Allin, MJF, and Orange Cassidy are always strongly booked. With only a handful of titles to chase, it will be hard for these stars to win titles consistently.

Another title will balance out the immense number of talented stars. With more and more cuts from WWE, stars will be getting another chance at AEW. AEW has booked its Champions well for the most part, but not every decision will sit well with every fan.

For these reasons, adding another Championship to a growing roster would be a wise decision.
