[7.0] "Guter Titel der jedoch mit CM Punk, Page und ja auch MJF für mich an Wert verloren hat, da ich alle drei nicht auf World Titel Niveau finde. Besonders das MJF ihn so lange hatte, obwohl man ja definitiv ihn nicht mit einem Omega etc vergleichen kann. Joe gerade macht ihn aber wieder wertvoller."
[7.0] "Ok hear me out, I loved it at first, I truly think that until the first CM Punk reign, it was the greatest belt in the world, but yeah between the moment Punk got injured for the first time, and the beginning of MJF's reign (6 long months) it was REAAAALLY bad, the MJF reign had some bangers but I only remember the Danielson match which is insane, and the last defenses who were, tbh, really bad. I hated to ending of the Better Than You Baybay feud, I hated the Jay White stuff (which killes Jay's momentum) and I hated the last match. Since that, Joe has been tbh a terrible champion, his aura isn't big enough ( he was a secondary champion in a child company before becoming the world champion, makes no sense) and I hate what's going on today. I just HOPE that Ospreay, Page or Strickland take his title soon because please this is bad, and of them will make it important again"
[10.0] "One of the most prestigous title in all of pro wrestling right now: the first three champions and title regins (Jericho, Moxley and Omega) were awesome, with lots of great matches and great storielynes bulit around that title. Page's title win at Full Gear is one of the best moments in AEW's history but his title reign was underwhelming altough he had classic matches against Danielaon and Cole. Punk and Moxley's title exchanges hurt the prestige of the title but since MJF has won it at Full Gear 2022 the title felt important once again with awesome matches and storylines. Currently Samoa Joe is having a really good title reign. Also from an aesthetic point of view the title is beautiful."
[8.0] "Although it is still the most prestigious belt in wrestling, it has fallen greatly in the last two years. What was once a perfect title has been slightly tarnished by bad booking and an unfortunate chain of events. Things appear to be turning around with Samoa Joes reign and heading back toward the stability and importance the title used to have. An 8/10 belt that could one day be a 10/10 again."
"The AEW World Championship has been kept special and made to feel like a real prize since its inception. At the time of writing this, there have been ten reigns by seven different wrestlers. Each reign has had a unique feel to it and has been made to enhance the wrestler holding the title. Chris Jericho, for instance, was 'Le Champion', and wrestled a variety of people we'd never seen him against up to that point. Kenny Omega's reign as the 'belt collector' was extremely memorable and encapsulated by his eventual loss to former tag team partner Adam Page, who was cemented as one of the top acts of the company when he won the title. Page would go on to have classic matches against Bryan Danielson and CM Punk. There's never been a moment where the title has felt like a prop. Even outside the realm of the television show, fans give credence to the importance of the title, understanding if an up-and-coming star were to win it, it would change their life and career entirely. I'm not sure a World Championship has had that kind of feel to it since at least the early 2000s, if not long before that."
[5.0] "I don't think in the few years this title has existed that the linage is that strong, with Page being the worst world champions since Jinder Mahal. There was also the strange situation with Punk, which put a damper on a whole lot of things happening with AEW. MJF is a great wrestler, but I felt like his reign was really brought down by him having to defend The ROH Tag Team Championship on the same nights he was defending The World Title. I don't think Moxley or Omega were great champions either. We'll see about Joe, but honestly Chris Jericho is the only wrestler who had a great title reign, and it brought a lot of promise to the title in its inception."
[9.0] "Toss out the bullshit around Punk's two worthless reigns and this belt has an immaculate pedigree. Jericho, Mox, and Omega all put in work to elevate this title. Hangman's reign was solid but overshadowed. MJF's reign has been the only one to equal the prestige of Omega, but it sadly ended on a bit of a whimper due to Cole's injury marring the story that they were telling. Joe can be a great champ though, he has tremendous gravitas and has many potential fresh match ups. Can't go the full ten because of the awful interim booking."
[7.0] "MJF lost the belt quite unceremoniously after over a year as reigning champion which definitely doesnt get Joe's reign off to the best start. Being involved with the devil storyline also hurt the belts image imo. The belt could finally be on the up again with some new challengers on the way and hopefully some better stories."
"The AEW world title lost some of itsprestige with MJFs year long reign. It felt as if Christian Cages run with the TNT title felt more world champion. With Joe just winning the championship, lets see where this goes."
[9.0] "We're over 4 years in, with 7 champions and now starting the 10th reign for this title. Honestly as far as early years for a world title goes, this one has been pretty excellent even in AEW's weaker moments. Jericho's first reign only existed to plaster his stardom on the company and give young guys a heel to chase, and to that end it did its job. Mox carried the company through COVID on the back of raw work ethic and promo work, and Omega's reign is lauded for good reason since he managed to have his signature workrate while squarely working heel and having several great defenses and ultimately finishing the story the company was built upon and anointing Page. Hangman's reign gets dragged a little too much I think, his promos leading up to and during it were mostly great and he had some excellent defenses for the relatively short runtime. Punk being given the title while he was white hot was not a bad call, nobody could've expected the turmoil that his injuries and altercations would have caused. Mox carrying the company through a second period of hardship even if most of it isn't in the record books should be praised, he covered for both the injury and suspension of Punk to make the main event feel big regardless, and was willing to put both Punk & MJF over during that. MJF's reign started out pretty excellently all the way up through the early stages of the Cole angle (that Danielson Iron Man, holy hell), but as it went on it started to become Codyverse 2.0: This Time It's 90s Booking, so I'm glad that right as that shit started to get really tired they realized it didn't need the belt anymore and gave it to the veteran on a hotstreak in Samoa Joe, who at his current level is a great boon to the title's lineage (not just in terms of workrate & promos & star power, but the fact that he's playing the lead on a decently popular TV series at the same time). I have to knock off points for Punk's various debacles and the final stretch of MJF's run, but more good reigns from Joe and hopefully Swerve could raise the average up to a 10."
[9.0] "Looks exactly how a world title should look, as is probably the most important title in the wrestling business today. The CM Punk / Jon Moxley juggling was a rough patch but MJF has picked up the pieces tremendously. Whenever someone beats him for the title, itll be a huge deal."
[10.0] "Had a long day, it's past 1am, tired and yet I screamed like a little girl while watching this match. Every moves were executed to perfection. Even the accidental little missteps, is what made this match so organic. Kenny Omega is world class. Ospreay is world class. Danielson is world class. And now add MJF, who in his first year as a world champion proved to the doubters that he is in the 1% of the top wrestlers in the world. An absolute masterpiece of a match."
[10.0] "This belt has been won by 6 people in a 4 year span this company been around the prestige for this belt is crazy this is how a World Title should feel. MJF is the best champion ever hold the Triple B's. I'm hoping they don't change the formula for people holding the belt"
[10.0] "When this belt is defended, it's a big deal. When the belt changes hands, it's a momentous shift in the company and the pro wrestling landscape. The only blight on its legacy is CM Punk's two reigns. For my money, however, nothing in the current wrestling landscape can match the prestige and entertainment value of Omega's reign during the 2021 and MJF's current reign. In both of those reigns, every defense of the belt was an in-ring masterpiece, and every story delivered."
[10.0] ""A prestigious belt with some great reigns already in its short history. Things started to stale a bit after Hangman lost the title to CM Punk, but now with MJF's reign, prestige has returned to the belt, finally returning the belt back to it's initial prestige. Hope to see Bryan Danielson win the belt at least once before he retires."
"A prestigious belt with some great reigns already in its short history, most notably the first three reigns and the beginning of Hangman's time as champion, which saw those two fantastic matches versus Bryan Danielson. After Hangman's victory against Danielson his booking as champion took a rapid downward path ending in that shambolic feud and match against CM Punk. Punk's two reigns as champion were complete embarrassments which damaged the standing of this title as well as AEW's reputation. The interim champion idea could've worked but booking face v face was a total of waste of what could've been a half decent storyline. I think by and large MJF's restored some of the shine to the belt, not least with that classic iron man match v Danielson. It'll be interesting to see where things go from here. It would be great to see either Will Ospreay or Jay White as the next champion. If not then I'd love to see Swerve win it."
[9.0] "In my opinion the belt with the most value in Wrestling a few years ago.. Punk and Moxley kind of ruined the credibility a bit by hot potatoing it and Tony Khan is one for silly hot shot booking but this a belt that he usually protects and treats with a genuine amount of respect and the booking of *most* title matches and way this belt is presented makes it by far one of the best belts in pro wrestling."
[7.0] "Another belt that's been hindered by injuries and puzzling booking but thanks to the star power it's mostly managed to succeed regardless. I wasn't a fan personally of the first few years but I appreciate the importance it generated itself and it generally had the big match feel. Often in wrestling, the worker makes the title, so immediately it felt more prestigious when Punk came in, even if the match situation descended into a complete mess. The MJF reign started out great but again has begun to suffer the same fate with booking."
[8.0] "Belt has a great look, it just hasn't been around long enough to build up prestige. The only thing holding it back from being higher ranked is the relatively uneventful reign of MJF(through no fault of his own) and the debacle between Punk and Moxley"
[9.0] "A gorgeous looking title belt with a short but nearly perfect pedigree in terms of its booking and champions, marred only by the nonsense with Punk and the resulting interim bullshit. Jericho gave this belt immediate legitimacy, Mox was a devoted workhorse. Kenny Omega had the company's greatest title reign so far despite suffering tremendously at the time, and Hangman represented the next generation and fought fiercely against top guys like Danielson. The title booking went awry when Tony cared more about strapping up CM Punk as fast as possible than properly booking Adam Page. Obviously Punk suffered from multiple injuries and a suspension that resulted in the title's dubious ownership dragging on for months, and was a black eye on the company in general. MJF has made the belt his own and recently worked hard to show that he does value his position at the top, possessively guarding it by hook or by crook. No idea who will dethrone him, but hopefully a lesson has been learned from 2022, and I believe they can continue to elevate this title."
[8.0] "It is a beautiful looking Championship. While it has no lineage, many who held the Title were former world Champions, with Chris Jericho being the very first Champion. Omega had the best Championship reign, Moxley won it the most times although his second and third reign were merely transitional, Adam Page established himself with this title, CM Punk won the Championship twice and twice he ruined long term storytelling, he was easily the worst Champion, And MJF is the Champion now, and while MJF is a great Champion, his character is way too one dimensional. The best match over this championship is MJF Vs Bryan Danielson in an Iron Man match which is also the best singles match in AEW's young history."
[9.0] "the most prestigious world title in modern day pro wrestling. it had a rough stretch with Mox and Punk trading the belt but Mox put the company on his back in his third reign. i can't give it a 10 for its young history but the lineage has been incredible so far. Jericho, Mox, Kenny, Hangman, Punk and now MJF. the future is looking real bright."
[9.0] "The most prestigious championship in western wrestling. Besides CM Punk's disappointing run with the belt, it has been booked great. Very beautiful belt design as well."
[8.0] "the championship's prestige has definitely decreased since punk's reign which is unfortunate. despite that, most of the other reigns have been great. the title has a very short history so the prestige can easily be built back with good runs."
[7.0] "EDIT - I had this title at a 9 and considered it one of the best World Titles in wrestling, but after how this year has gone with this belt I have to drop it down to a 7. Punk ending Page's reign prematurely (Page still had storylines with PAC, Jericho & Mox that should have been addressed while Champion), Punk's injury and the interim championship nonsense and then Punk & Mox title flip-flopping back and forth. I feel like the AEW World Championship has taken a big hit this year and it needs some love again."
[2.0] "Similar to the TNT title earlier this year, the booking for this title since Punk won it the first time has been completely baffling. All the interim bullshit, Punk getting squashed then winning it back 2 weeks later, then he gets into a backstage scuffle and vacates, it's just a mess. At one point this belt felt important, but those days are long gone now."
[8.0] "The AEW championship has had a decent history, Chris Jericho, Jon Moxley, and Kenny Omega was the best choice i saw for the title during their time period within the company, Hangman didnt satisfy what i wanted from that title during his time as champ, he never seemed to be on TV when he held it, his promos didnt quite hit the mark to me, and compared to everyoen else who held the title before that, it deffinitly seemed like a step down. I dont personally mind Adam, but i felt like Adam Cole, or Bryan Danielson wouldve been the better choice during the time, along with MJF if they wanted some of their home grown talent. CM Punk was a good choice in my eyes, but his emediate injury put a stop to what shouldve been better at this point, but thats not truely anyones fault"
[10.0] "Fewer than three years into its existence, a case can be made that the AEW World Championship is the most prestigious belt in wrestling today. This is largely due to the hard work of the men that have carried it so far, as every former champion had a successful title run in some way. Chris Jericho's inaugural reign added name value to the new belt and featured good to excellent matches with great booking. Moxley's run with the title during the pandemic established him as the wrestler of the year in 2020. Omega's reign came with outstanding matches and record setting PPV buys. Ditto for Page's time as champion. Because of this history, the belt has become synonymous with the highest standards in American wrestling."
[10.0] "I really loved Omega and Page as champions and their reigns was what make me appreciate AEW. I'm glad that the champions were this good and I will look forward for the next reign now."
[9.0] "Incredibly prestigious for such a young title. Booked perfectly so far with some truly special matches fought for the honour to hold it. Maybe the top title in men's pro-wrestling today. I'll give it a 10 in a few years time; assuming the booking of the belt remains consistently strong."
[10.0] "The ultimate prize in professional wrestling today. It looks like if the previous IWGP world championship and the Lucha Underground Gift of the Gods championship had a baby - simply gorgeous."
[10.0] "The definition of prestigious, every wrestler that has held this has made it look like a million bucks. I can't name a bad match thats been had for this championship."
[10.0] "In my opinion, the most prestigious title, IN THE WORLD. Only four champions and it's already more prestigious than the WWE Title. You got Jericho as a good first champ, Moxley running the gauntlet during the pandemic era, Omega being my favorite champ going almost a full year with the belt, and finally, a feel-good moment as Hangman Adam Page won it at Full Gear. And with many people challenging for it like Bryan Danielson, Adam Cole, and CM Punk (All will win it in the future I believe), this title is the most well booked title right now."
[6.0] "I don't really get why people act like this is the greatest looking title of belt of all time. I mean, it's a fine looking belt but people has always complained about the WWE belts because it's just a big WWE logo on a belt. The AEW World Championship not only have one, not two, but five AEW logos on its plates and it's printed on the belt's leather 20 more times. The plates itself barely have anything interesting on them, design wise and main plate and looks out of portioned that it doesn't look comfy to wear. The linage is nothing special as it's a new belt, so I can't really call the belt prestigious. Jericho's run was great, so was Moxley's, Omega's wasn't that interesting and Page's run has been underwhelming. Overall the belt has potential to become one of the most prestigious in wrestling and in terms of design it's better then most WWE's modern title designs but still miles behind of the Big Gold Belt, Eagle Winged WWF Championship, IWGP Heavyweight Championship and serval others."
[10.0] "Great looking title with not a long history as of yet but has a lot of prestige due to it not being hot potatoed like other belts have been over the years."
[10.0] "Currently the best championship belt in world wrestling. Each champion has been a fighting champion, and each champion have inarguably been the top of the card. The title stories are seamless and all link back to one another. Chris Jericho defeated Hangman Adam Page to win the title, where Jericho went on to form the Inner Circle. In the background, Kenny Omega and Adam Page went round to align with each other to win the tag team titles, eventually losing these to FTR, where Page and Omega separated. With the Inner Circle, they enticed Jon Moxley to join, who was using this as a ruse to get closer to the title, eventually beating Jericho and winning this from him. Omega then, with the help of Don Callis, defeated Moxley at Winter Is Coming, and established his reign as being a joint venture with the Elite to keep him as the AEW Champion and the Young Bucks as tag team champions. Page in the meantime was drifting, with a drinking problem and not knowing whether he had any friends, until he aligned with the Dark Order, who had his back in his pursuit back to the title picture, where he and Omega would eventually face off. Omega, now more like a supervillain than when he was teamed with Page, and Page the humble milennial cowboy battled at Full Gear, where Page emerged victorious after a three year journey to the top. It is this level of cohesive, interesting storytelling which has launched this belt to the top of the list as the most prestigious title in wrestling, and leaves you wondering who will emerge as the next challenger."
[10.0] "AEW has been very smart with there world title. Jericho was the right call early, Moxley was hot hand to take it and carried it during some very tough days. Omega's reign was excellent and then the crown jewel the moment Hangman finally took it"
[7.0] "Jericho's reign was amazing. It was a mixture of good matches, feuds and great segments like the Dippin Dots and the time he brought his father to laugh at the city where he was. His reign was the best and a 9.25 out of 10 to be fair. After that we had a Moxley reign that was good. Moxley relied on hardcore spots to have good matches but still was entretaining. Omega's reign was the worst out of the 3, his matches had interventions every time and his character was goofy. Don Callis didn't help at all. Current Hangman reign is good but I think Hangman should stay away from DO and those people because those guys are boring and bad comedy. Hope Hangman has a good reign. 7 is fair for me."
[5.0] "decent looking title that has no history to it what so ever it feels like the wrestlers have to elevate the title which. shows how little it means maybe down the road it will mean something but the rating is ridiculous for a title with no history"
[9.0] "I started watching aew while hangman was on hiatus. I'm not invested in the storyline that aew created around him so I'm not as excited about him being the title holder, but I'm willing to wait and see what they do with him. Kenny Omega was an amazing champion and one who was number one in the world not just on aew. That alone gives this a 10 out of 10. If Kenny still had the title I give it a 10. If I see great things in the match with Brian Danielson, I may change this rating."
[10.0] "After being the climax of AEW's biggest storyline since it's inception, I don't see how anyone can't appreciate this championship. It has always been very carefully booked, with every champion being worthy of it and going on to have amazingly memorable reigns."
[6.0] "While the belt looks beautiful, it has always remained to be the second most boring championship in the company behind the womans championship. The long reigns and predictable booking have held back the prestige and excitement that a world championship should have. Its so predictable that its the first 3 (and potentially 4) reigns have been obvious since the belts inception. Given how much young and exciting talent there is on the roster and its rich tag team division, I have always cared for the TNT and Tag Team championship much more."
[10.0] "One of the most protected and prestigious titles in the business. Each title reign has been epic and unique in its own right. Looking forward to seeing the future of this belt."
[9.0] "I would rate it higher had AEW been around more than 2 years. I believe top championships should be protected and AEW has done a fantastic job making the AEW World Championship feel like the most important thing on their show. The entire company bends around whoever holds it, much like the NWA did with Flair/Race, etc. Because the belt is so highly protected, some match outcomes are a bit predictable but because of the inherent prestige of holding the title, I can't think of a single challenger for the title that wasn't elevated by it. Treated like a true world title."
[10.0] "Despite the title being very new, it feels very prestigious because the only people who have held it are all-time greats and future Hall of Famers. The title has already brought many great matches and I am excited to see its future."
[10.0] "One of the best titles in the industry, with true champions that are worth it and incredible reigns, without a doubt the 3 people who have been champions knew how to give it the prestige that the most important title of AEW deserves."
[6.0] "Even though this is the most valuable prize in AEW, it's not very prestigious comparing to other promotions. All three guys who have already held this title are great, big names in professional wrestling, however this title is losing it's value every day. It's all caused with bad booking, lower wrestling quality and slowly becoming a parody of a wrestling company."
[10.0] "Moxley, Jericho, Omega. Great matches that headined PPVs. I love every champ, every reign and most of the matches. There is no world title right now that is better than this one."
[9.0] "So far AEW have done a great job in protecting their champions and their world title. We are at 3 champions over 19 months all of whom have been very entertaining in their own way. ------Jericho did a fantastic job building the title and the main event scene. -------Moxley had one of my favourite ever reigns as a world champion, with great title defenses against guys like Brian Cage, Brodie Lee, MJF, Eddie Kingston and Darby Allin as some examples and great promos to boot. ------Omega's title run hasn't been as great as I had hoped with all of the Elite stuff complicating matters but when he is allowed to defend the title, he will always put on a show. ----------Like many others I am awaiting on the Hangman to re-enter himself into the World title scene to spark the rivalry between himself and Omega."
[8.0] "Bisher wurde der Titel wirklich sehr gut präsentiert. Der Titel ist ganz klar das Hauptaugenmerk der Promotion und jeder Titelträger hatte bisher auch einen angemessenen Titelrun. Auch die Anzahl an Titelmatches gefällt mir gut. Ich gebe trotzdem nur 8 Punkte, da der Titel eben erst 1 1/2 Jahre Jahre Alt ist und dementsprechend noch nicht so eine lange Historie hat. Dennoch ist man hier auf einem sehr guten Weg."
[9.0] "Too young to hold much prestige but has been held by deserving candidates so far. Jericho was a gamble but ultimately was a great choice, Moxley is a proven former WWE Champion and grand slam winner who had one of - if not the - title reign of 2020. And finally Kenny Omega, a man I see as one of the greatest in the world. A former IWGP Heavyweight, Intercontinental and inaugural US champion, current AAA Mega Champion, who with his win of the AEW gold, kicked off one of the most interesting cross-promotion storylines in recent memory. If this is the calibre of wrestlers who hold this belt for the next 3-5 years, this has the potential to be one of the biggest in the industry."
[6.0] "this title is in danger for only being known as the title that former wwe champions have held also. The majority of these matches are getting to be predictable and stale in my opinion and need to be more exciting without any goofiness. AEW need to really build up MJF, Adam Page, Brodie Lee, & Brian Cage so they can have successful and meaningful world title reigns when it is their turn to shine."
[8.0] "Was AEW hier richtig macht, ist diesen hier Titel als Fokus in ihren Shows zu präsentieren! Besonders Chris Jericho als ersten Titelträger hat diesen Titel hier sehr stark aufgewertet und Prestige verleiht. Im Gegensatz zur WWE, wo der World Champion irgendwo in einer Sequenz auftaucht oder eine Card-Platzierung im PPV hat, was (meistens) nicht der Main-Event der Show ist, steht der AEW World Champion immer im Fokus der Show, und das ist richtig so! Gute Fehden und diesen Titel waren bisher: Jericho vs. Cody und Jericho vs. Moxley. Wenn AEW weiterhin starke Fehden um diesen Titel kreiert, und wenn die Contender hier stark aufgebaut werden, dann haben wir hier einen Titel, der mit der WWE Championship und der IWGP Championship konkurrieren wird!"
[8.0] "Jericho war ein guter erster Champion. Hatte ich anfangs nicht gedacht, aber er war einer der Gründe, dass die Dynamite-Shows 2019 immerhin einen echten unterhaltsamen Teil hatten und den Titel hat er dabei definitiv aufgewertet. Die Titelverteidigen abseits von Cody sollten Wrestler aufbauen und waren daher auch schon okay, aber dennoch bleiben hier nur die Cody und Moxley-Story hängen. Das ist aber auch legitim. Moxleys Charakter kann man eigentlich gut von Titeln weghalten, aber man wollte es doch versuchen und bisher ist das okay und das besonders im Rahmen der COVID-19-Zeit. Auch wenn das Match mit Hager nichts war un die Story mit Lee eher albern als unterhaltsam, passt das Standing von Moxley zum Titel. Aber zeitlich sollte er Jerichos Run nicht überholen, da gibt es insgesamt bessere Lösungen und irgendwann nutzt sich Mox bei mir halt auch ab. Insgesamt ein guter Start für den World Title."
[9.0] "AEW's done a good job making this title feel important. Jericho was a great initial champion, and Moxley has felt more important with this title than he ever did in his post-Shield WWE run. Only reason I can't give it a 10 is because I feel like the match quality is pretty good but we haven't had a real classic yet."
