"D**n shame," "What the heck?" - Fans erupt after AEW contributor parts ways after 6 years

AEW is seemingly ending its working relationship with one of its long-time contributors. Fans have now taken to social media to share their reactions.

All Elite Wrestling is appreciated by its viewers for featuring some of the best-looking championship belts in televised pro wrestling today. Most of these titles, including the International, Continental, and Unified Championships, MJF's "American" Championship version of the International Title, the AEW World Trios and Tag Team Championship, the TNT Championship, and several belts in ROH, were designed by Red Leather Belts, an organization owned by Ron Edwardsen.

Although All Elite Wrestling recently introduced the new Unified Championship and is reportedly on the verge of presenting Women's Tag Team Titles as well, it was announced on Red Leather Belts' official Instagram that the contributor's working relationship with the Tony Khan-led promotion has come to an end after six years.

"After 6 years with AEW it’s time to say goodbye. Thank you for the opportunity!" he wrote.
