Tony Khan Explains Decision To Introduce AEW Women’s Tag Team Titles

Tony Khan has finally decided to launch the AEW Women’s Tag Team Championship.

On the September 24 episode of AEW Dynamite, the Women’s Tag Team Title belts were finally unveiled. After Tony Khan announced that the new championship was on the way, Renee Paquette gave fans the first look at the gold.

Fans and even AEW wrestlers have been pushing for the titles to be introduced for several months, and speculation has only increased since several women began partnering up on television.

Meanwhile, the company is expected to host the first-ever women’s Blood & Guts match when the double-cage returns in November.

Tony Khan Excited About AEW Women’s Division

While speaking to Rob Wolkenbrod for Forbes, Khan explained why he decided to introduce Women’s Tag Team Titles now, after months of campaigning from fans and wrestlers. He said that after several years of building the women’s division, it’s now stronger than it’s ever been.

“I’m very excited about the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championship coming to AEW this year. Throughout 2025, the women’s division has been delivering more great matches and rivalries than ever before, and so many top stars have continued to emerge.

We’ve had amazing signings, like Mercedes Moné, who came in as a free agent and is now the TBS Champion, and if you look back a few years, Toni Storm joined AEW and went on to become one of our greatest champions. Along the way, we’ve added so many talented faces. Kris Statlander, who’s been here from the early years, has become a top star in her own right.

More recently, we’ve also seen the rise of some very interesting and very talented women’s tag teams. With the roster at its strongest, the highest quality it’s ever been, I think now is the perfect time to introduce the AEW Women’s World Tag Team Championships. Women’s wrestling in AEW is the best it’s ever been, and these titles will make it even stronger.”

During the same interview, Tony Khan looked ahead to the future as AEW Dynamite celebrates its sixth anniversary.
