Cody Rhodes and AEW reveal the finished TNT Championship

Cody Rhodes became the inaugural AEW TNT Champion in May, knocking off newcomer Lance Archer in the finals of the AEW TNT Championship Tournament. However, when the belt was revealed, fans were a little perplexed.

AEW received a lot of fan backlash for the silver-plated title and its unfinished look. Still, they took the criticism on the chin before revealing that the belt actually wasn't able to be completely finished before the final match due to the COVID-19 pandemic causing delays in the work.

Because of that, AEW would be unveiling the finished product later on in the summer. Last week, it was announced that Cody Rhodes would have the new championship for his match with Scorpio Sky on AEW Dynamite. Fans didn't have to wait that long, though, to see it in its new golden glory.
