Summary AEW TNT ChampionshipThe AEW TNT Championship is a professional wrestling television championship created and promoted by the American promotion All Elite Wrestling. Named after the TNT television network, which airs AEW’s flagship program, Dynamite, it was established on March 30, 2020. Cody Rhodes, then known simply as Cody, was the inaugural champion. The current champion is Darby Allin, who is in his first reign. AEW announced that they had retired the belt design that had been used up to that point to honor Brodie Huber, the second TNT Champion who unexpectedly passed away on December 26. The original championship belt featured six plates on a red leather strap.

The center plate prominently featured the TNT network logo at the center. Above the TNT logo was a red banner that said \”CHAMPION\”. The two inner side plates featured \”Tara on Techwood Drive in Atlanta, the building that was the original home of TNT. When the original belt was unveiled on May 23, it had no plating at all as production of the belt had been delayed due to pandemic pandemic; it was also revealed that the final version would have gold plating and be unveiled at a later date. The final version of the original design was finished a few hours before the final episode of Dynamite where the belt was shown on Twitter.
