AEW added another belt to its growing collection because goddamnit everybody deserves a participation trophy.

AEW announced the All-Atlantic Championship, its latest meaningful belt just three days after announcing another paper championship in the form of the Interim AEW Title. AEW continues its recent trend of trying to rip off the worst of WWE. Not only are they rehashing the pipebomb storyline, which had little-to-no material impact on WWE’s business and ended up falling apart, AEW now wants to have as many belts as WWE does.

Why?

I thought this was supposed to be the alternative. One where championship belts matter. Once upon a time, AEW tribalists defended their Klan by saying “at least our belts matter,” but now these AEW supremacists have to defend the company by saying “well WWE still has one or two more belts than we do.”
Worked shoots and too many belts are two ways AEW definitely does not want to be more like WWE. With so many cheap belts, pretty soon AEW’s locker room is going to look like the clearance rack at TJ Maxx. The only people happy about this are Tony Khan and Belts by Dan, who’s going to be able to retire early thanks to AEW.

They’ve got the AEW world title, the AEW women’s world title the Men’s Owen belt, the women’s Owen belt, the TNT Title, the TBS title, The BET Title the TVOne Title, the Wrestling Media Title, the AEW Interim Title and that’s just the short list. Okay, some of those maybe I made up, but with so many belts in AEW does it really even matter?

For those of you having trouble keeping up, I got you. Here’s a list ranking AEW’s Top 16 Championship belts.

Let’s start with the most meaningless belt in the company, by definition, the FTW Title. This, of course, is AEW’s unsanctioned second-class citizen championship that they let their black talent fight over, because God forbid they sanction the damn thing and learn to create fully formed Black characters rather than just make another belt.

Tied for No. 15 are the Men’s and women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Championships. I presume these are just ceremonial titles that won’t be defended, but both Adam Cole and Britt Baker have been carrying them around on television for weeks, which only furthers the perception that everybody gets a belt in AEW. Whether or not they’re being defended, these are just two more belts on TV to diminish what it means to have one. Shit, one day, AEW fans will look under their seats and find that they get a belt, too.

No. 13 is the All-Atlantic Championship. The what? Why? Any Black People in this tournament? No? Moving on.

No. 12 is the AAA Tag Team titles, which only mean anything because FTR has them. Fun fact, FTR won these titles in Halloween costumes which tells you everything you need to know about how much you should care.
