AEW has plenty of championships to its name, but some more gold may soon be showing up on programming. Mark O’Brien of Bodyslam.net is reporting that AEW has developed two separate tag team championships over the past 12 months, though neither is currently in use.
Sources claim that the ‘Intergenerational Tag Team Championships’ have been created, intended for ‘father and son duos.’ This has reportedly led to more focus on team that span generations, including Christian Cage and Nick Wayne, though the pair are not related by blood. Similarly, the report adds that this title was why Billy Gunn’s role with The Acclaimed was amplified, though the partnership with Bowens and Gunn has seemed strained in recent weeks.
In addition to multi-generational teams, there was reportedly talks of actual father-son tag teams to be part of the title picture. This includes Ricky and Kerry Morton as well as Kevin Von Erich teaming with one of his sons, the report adds.
AEW has also reportedly created Women’s Tag Team Championships, a title that many both in and out of AEW have shown support for. In late 2022, Saraya called on AEW to create a women’s tag team division, as well as a potential all-female show. Saraya, who competed in several tag matches as part of the Outcasts and later alongside Harley Cameron, has since finished her time with AEW.
Between AEW, Ring of Honor, and its partnership promotions, championship gold isn’t hard to miss on AEW TV at this time. It remains to be seen if more gold gets added to the show.
