Tony Khan provides an update on new AEW championship

Tony Khan has been teasing the introduction of a Women's Tag Team Championship for the roster. While it is yet to be unveiled officially on-screen, the President of All Elite Wrestling recently gave an update on this potential future title.

Speaking with WGN Radio, Khan revealed that the AEW Women's Tag Team Title belts are ready. However, he is holding on to the official announcement because of the injuries to the women's roster. The AEW founder revealed that he lost 25% of the women's roster in the Casino Gauntlet Battle Royal at All In. As a result, there are not enough women to compete for the Women's Tag Titles in the company.

However, the 42-year-old expressed hope that he will soon have a fully active women’s roster. He stated that he would like to introduce the titles only once all his female talent is available. Tony Khan also believes that when the titles are finally introduced, it will be a historic moment for the AEW women’s division, creating more opportunities for women in All Elite Wrestling.

"A quarter of the people in the match got knocked out of the match and out of action indefinitely. So we had one match where I lost 25% of the roster in one match. — I have the belts. I’ve made the belts. They exist, but I will put them into play when we are able to put the very best full roster forward to have great action with competition for all the championships," he said.
