Tony Khan Wants To Introduce Another Title In AEW
Tony Khan has plans to create at least one more AEW Championship.
Throughout 2025, Tony Khan and his creative team have placed an increased focus on the women’s division. This has seen “Timeless” Toni Storm fully establish herself as one of the biggest stars in the entire industry, while Mercedes Mone has seen her own star shine brighter than ever.
As the division has expanded, several stars have paired up with the likes of Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford, and Skye Blue & Julia Hart now working together.
This has led to speculation online that AEW could be preparing to create a bona fide women’s tag team division with its own World Tag Team Championship.
During the media call ahead of Double or Nothing, Sean Ross Sapp asked Tony Khan about potentially introducing Women’s Tag Team Titles, and the AEW boss admitted that it’s something he’s looking to do. However, his short-term focus is on building the men’s tag team division.
“AEW is having a great 2025, and I’m trying to build us to the strongest point we’ve been. We’re taking great steps. That is something I’d like to do and is a goal for me. You can see there is a number of great tandems and alliances. There are some great tag matches in the women’s division.
Right now, I’m also focused on building back the men’s tag division. We’ve had a lot of injuries there, and now we’re trying to get people healthy and get the best teams working together. As I’m rebuilding the men’s tag division, that is something I’m interested in doing in the future.
There are a lot of great teams in the women’s division and a lot of great partnerships and rivalries that would lend themselves to those matches. As I’m building back the tag division to get it to its strongest point, which I think is moving in a good direction, and as we get people healthy, and when you look at some of the great tag matches, the division is getting better.
We have great talent, and now it’s about getting people healthy.
In 2025, I’ve been trying to put on the very best shows we possibly can. Whether it’s having an injury to Buddy or Kevin Knight, who was in a team with Speedball Bailey, not an injury, but we lost him to the Super Juniors. He’ll be back. As we’re building the best shows on TV week in and week out, that’s something I want to get to: the best tag team wrestling in the world.
We have the best wrestlers, and I am interested in (AEW Women’s Tag Team Titles). I’m also trying to build the tag division I have right now. It is something I’m interested in doing, and it is realistic to see at some point.”
Tony Khan Makes Popular Star “All Elite”
Following the May 21 edition of AEW Dynamite, Tony Khan announced that Mina Shirakawa is now All Elite. The star is set to challenge for the Women’s World Championship at Double or Nothing after pinning Toni Storm in an eliminator at Beach Break.
While Shirakawa had appeared in AEW previously, she was under contract with Stardom at the time.
