[10.0] "A good midcard title with some very good matches and feud, although the hot potato era devalues it, Cage's run redeemed it back. With Copeland winning it, we could see some fresh feuds and matches, im also impressed by its holders, a really diverse variety of champions."

[7.0] "Up through Miro's run I would have easily given this an 8 at least, but ever since Sammy's run it's lost a lot of its prestige. I feel for Scorpio since he clearly wanted to have a more serious, competitive run with the title but with Guevara inserting himself into the scene despite dropping it twice it's turned into somewhat of a joke. Hopefully Sky can have a solid rest of his run until Wardlow inevitably takes and elevates the belt. UPDATE 4/3/23: Despite Wardlow taking the belt things have not gotten much better. Aside from Darby's excellent short run as an attempt to somewhat reboot the title, everything has felt anywhere from forgettable to shockingly poor, due in no part to the champions themselves. Guys like Joe and Wardlow should have been able to bring a sense of prestige back to the strap, yet it just felt like they were set up in a series of unexciting mid-card matches with one or two exceptions. Giving Wardlow a second run with the belt only to have him drop it 3 days later was also an unbelievably strange decision, although Hobbs is an excellent choice for champion and it can hopefully allow for Wardlow's eventual grudge match with him to make the title feel like it matters again. For now though, I'm dropping this from a 7 to a 5. UPDATE 3/7/24: Despite them dropping the ball HARD with Will Hobbs and Wardlow again, Christian has single-handedly washed the mud off the title with his impressive promo skills (to the point of getting a phrase like "Your father is dead" over), ability to carry himself simultaneously as a legitimately big deal and the single most punchable member of the AEW roster, and ring skills to back it all up. Matches like his fight with Darby at WrestleDream make the TNT look like something worth fighting over again, a far cry from how it was at this time last year. Hopefully it continues to"

[7.0] "Started off as the workhorse TV title, which was a fine identity. Good reigns from Cody, Brodie, and Darby. But the belt started losing prestige quickly after Darby's first reign amongst an endless stream of bad booking decisions, many of which revolved around either Sammy or Wardlow. The only bright spot before Christian taking the belt was Darby's second short, but very intense reign. Christian has worked hard to build this belt back up and center around stories."

[6.0] "Its crazy how much this title has fallen off since Miro lost it. Back when this belt was first introduced Codys open challenge and his feud with Brodie did alot to elevate this belt and this was continued by Darby Allin and Miro who both had very solid reigns. Ever since Sammy Guevara started playing hot potato with this belt its felt basically insignificant. - this belt is still basically a hot potato but we at least got a successful PPV title defence. This belt feels very similar to its TBS counterpart in its lack of importance. Christian carrying this round as an accessory has helped it get a slight edge over the TBS version but if Luchasaurus keeps defending it instead then maybe this will get a lower score. I'm glad Christian seems to actually care about this title, but its still had some questionable moments, overall better than when I last reviewed though."

[7.0] "The earliest reigns of this belt have taken on a sort of legendary status that can't be replicated in today's more expansive AEW landscape. It is hard to remember, or perhaps for newer fans to grasp, how small and focused many of the company's early storylines felt, and how big the introduction of a second men's belt was. Today one will see upwards of 15 men's singles belts from one company or another appear on AEW television, so it is hard to overstate what a big deal its introduction into AEW was. This leads me to believe the hallowed ground of Cody's first reigns to Miro's reign has come to occupy in fans' minds will never be replicated. I can't see the belt getting that feeling back. Cody's initial championship win and eventual loss to Darby displayed AEW's interest in classic, simple pro wrestling storytelling (at the time). Everyone knew from their first match Darby would defeat one day Cody, and he did. That it was for the company's "mid-card" belt was of secondary concern, elevating it in the process. The downturn in the belt's quality came during Sammy Guevara's confused booking of early 2022, where he was pushed into some truly terrible storylines and was ill-suited to any of the roles he was booked in. He and Cody flip-flopping the belt around this time (including Sammy winning the company's first interim belt just to promote the first Battle of the Belts) would be the start of a bad trend for AEW. At the time there were very few multi-time champions and you could pretty much trace every reign of every belt without having to think too hard. While this was of course destined to fade with time, this would be a harbinger of the decline of the belt and the company as a whole. Sammy's initial win versus Miro and his ladder match with Cody were probably the last true great moments of the belt's classic era; Once the belt made its way to Scorpio Sky its true decline really began. To attempt to be respectful of the performer, he just didn't meet the standard of the champions who came before him in reality or the fiction, and the prestige of the belt has suffered ever since. The belt was inexplicably flip-flopped around this time again to give Sammy a hometown championship win. Wardlow's first reign of the belt was promising at the start, as he was being pushed as a top star and felt as if he was at the level of the pre-Sammy/Scorpio champions. This reign was the biggest disaster point for the Wardlow character, as he faced absolute nobodies for an extended period in the summer of 2022, often just did not appear on screen, and never had any kind of extended storyline with heft or direction. His first defense against Orange Cassidy was a success, but from his second defense on August 5th, 2022 to his last successful one a little over two months later, he defeated in forgettable fashion a murderer's row composed of Jay Lethal, Ryan Nemeth, Tony Nese, Brian Cage, Matt Taven, and Ari Daivari. This absolutely cooled him off ice cold coming off the MJF match at DON 2022. They seemed to be course-correcting ahead of Full Gear 2022 and scheduled Wardlow vs Powerhouse Hobbs for the event. Samoa Joe's introduction to and winning of this match is one of AEW's low-key biggest mistakes in a time they were already reeling in from Brawl Out. Joe winning seemed to be a cop-out to not have to book a winner between the two younger big men. Joe's subsequent TNT runs would establish his King of Television gimmick and revitalize his career throughout 2023, enough so that he was recently able to capture the AEW World Championship. Despite this, I still feel Wardlow's initial reign could have went longer, or he could have simply lost to Hobbs clean and moved on to the main event scene. Early 2023 would bring a slight revitalization of the quality of the belt. The Joe-Darby feud at the beginning of the year produced some of my favorite moments for the belt, including Darby winning it in his hometown and losing it back in one of my favorite matches of the year. This was an example of hot-potatoing done right. Wardlow winning the belt back from Joe felt right even if his shift in character around this time was odd and ultimately short-lived, as his title reign would be. Hobbs would win the belt on the next Dynamite in a semi-hometown victory, but in one of the most inexplicable decisions in company history by having him do so with the help of QT Marshall of all people. Still the company could not book a clean winner between these two. Hobbs' reign was nothing to write home about as he defeated the Lucha Bros in singles on Rampage and quickly dropped the belt back to Wardlow in April 2023 in a wacky arena-wide Attitude-Era-esque street fight. I found this very entertaining and was encouraged by Wardlow getting another chance with the belt, but it was clear at this point the TNT title had strayed far away from its original vision as a world-title adjacent championship, and was instead an outlet for the company's more sports entertainment fair. This would be reinforced by events later in the year. Also at this time, Orange Cassidy was having his legendary first reign as International Champion, establishing it as the workhorse championship of the company. Wardlow's third reign was probably his best, but he lost the belt too early to Luchasaurus on what seemed like an excuse to have a title change on the debut episode of Collision. This would set off the current arc of the belt under Christian Cage, who reigned as defacto champion in Luchasaurus' stead. If you count those 98 days along with Christians's two official reigns as of today he is tied with Wardlow at 198 days for second in the title's history. Christian's all-timer main event defense against Darby at Wrestledream was a modern hallmark for the belt's history. His subsequent feud with Adam Copeland and the latter winning the belt, even briefly, this past weekend at Worlds End, will add to the TNT championship's overall prestige going forward."

[6.0] "There was a point in time where the TNT championship was used as the workhorse title, the popularity title, all of the wrestlers who weren't at the top got a chance at the title. That was the Cody/Darby/Sammy era. Ever since then, it has been used more as a decoration for someone to get an unnatural push."

[6.0] "I was a fan on the TNT title when it got introduced: I thought the desing sucked but the idea of establishing it as the workhorse title and defending it through open challenges was cool. It even brought people like Eddie Kingston, Ricky Starks or Jay Lethal into the company. The first title reigns from Cody to Guevara were all good. Even the design of the title changed and got better. But then after Sammy Guevara lost it to Scorpio Sky things started to go in the wrong direction: Sky and Guevara had one of the wost feuds in the history of the company and Wardlow's title reign was underwhelming and really cooled him off after his big win against Mjf at Double or Nothing. Samoa Joe won it and his seris of matches with Darby Allin made the title feel important again. But it quickly became a hot potato, jumping from Darby to Joe to Wardlow to Hobbs to Wardlow to Luchasaurus within 4 months. Nobody got elevated by winning the title and the open challenges became a joke. Now Christian's work with the title has been simply amazing and title feels important again. It even main evented Aew's latest Pay-Per-View, WrestleDream. Hope that Christian can bring back the prestige that the title had in it's early days and even surpass that."

[8.0] "Very disappointed with how this title has been handled recently. It has been hot potatoted 4 times between 3 different people since January and it is now April. I still will never understand why Scorpio Sky held this title as he never fit the mold of what the TNT Champion should be. I don't know why Sammy lost it to him, just to win it back weeks later. It is also sad to see this title caught up in a candidate for Worst Feud of the Year: Sammy Guevara & Tay Conti vs. American Top Team & Men of the Year, and let's not even get started on "that picture" that Sammy & Tay took with the belt. That picture sealed their fate, and is a HUGE reason why the crowds have turned on them. It also was a slap in the face to the hard work of Cody Rhodes, Darby Allin, & Miro, the best champions in the history of this title. The TNT Title has been booked in a "WWE fashion" and they have taken the prestige of the title downhill. UPDATED: They hot potatoed it back to Scorpio Sky AGAIN! WTF. This championship belt does not look good these days at all. UPDATED x2: This truly has to be the WORST booked championship belt in pro wrestling for the 2020's so far. UPDATED x3: Christian Cage has taken it upon himself to be the savior of the TNT Title. He has succeeded already very quickly. Well done."

It's amazing that this title main evented a PPV, it has been firmly reestablished.

[7.0] "Prior to Sammy Guevara's first reign, I'd have rated this a 9 as it was maybe the best secondary singles title in the biz, But since then, the reigns have gotten short, the angles have gotten worse, and the title holders have been less impressive. Guevara having 3 reigns for only 133 days total is silly. As much as I admit Guevara and Sky are talented, they simply don't stack up to Cody Rhodes, Brodie Lee, Darby Allin, and Miro in terms of star power either. The title itself can certainly be salvaged and it looks like Wardlow's gonna do just that, and considering that and Darby and Miro's great reigns taking up the biggest chunks of the title's history, it's still not a bad belt. Edit: Title is in the mud. Maybe Darby will save it. Maybe not. Well overshadowed by the International title now. Another edit: Tony Khan has randomly decided the title means A LOT as of the Christian reign. PPV main event, Danielson vs. Swerve #1 contender match incoming, Christian closed the anniversary Dynamite. So I guess it matters. Helluva rehab in half a week."

[8.0] "Although its prominence in the company as the most coveted secondary title in the singles division is challenged by the International Championship (largely due to Orange Cassidy's incredible run), this is still a title that's held only by wrestlers that the company trusts to deliver solid in-ring performances on a near-weekly basis. It seems to now have found a home on Collision (and TNT again), which should only help lend credibility to its purpose. The Darby/Christian/Luchasaurus feud has elevated this belt to such heights that it remarkably headlined a PPV, and even over-delivered."
JaybirdJared wrote on 02.10.2023:
[5.0] "At first I did not like the idea of a TV title because AEW was about a sports-like presentation, rankings, and vying for a single title in each gender class. Cody winning the inaugural title after vowing to never again contend for the AEW World Championship was cheeky, but in hindsight, he worked hard and made it worthwhile. The title was a 9/10 for the reigns from Cody through Miro. The open challenge was great because it circumvented the rankings in a logical way and introduced us to eventual mainstays Eddie Kingston and Ricky Starks. Minor deductions for the ugly design at unveiling. Since then, not only has it been a hot potato, but the TNT Championship, a.k.a. the de facto TV title, has been supplanted by the All Atlantic or International Title as the workhorse championship and, oh yeah, the one defended on TV more routinely. It is further muddled by the myriad ROH, NJPW, tag team, trios, and garbage FTW championship. They need a clear direction, dedicated TV schedule, multiple contenders, etc. to restore prestige. The TNT Champion should defeat a main-eventer. Orange Cassidy or Claudio should vie for the TNT Championship after losing their titles. Then it might mean something again."

[6.0] "When I first got back into wrestling, this title only had five reigns to its name. From what Miro was doing at the time to what had come before with Cody using himself to legitimize it, Darby's long workhorse run with it, and the excellent Dog Collar match involving Brodie, this was a well-established title that didn't feel too far below the World Championship. Then, Sammy won it. To be fair it took until a few weeks into his reign for it to start falling off, but Cody's third reign on was just nonstop bullshit for over a year, with only the occasional good defense. Wardlow wasn't treated right with it, Hobbs wasn't treated right with it, Darby's 2nd reign felt like an afterthought, and Joe's brief stints were good but it was just an extension of his King of TV ROH angle so he could do it on Dynamite. Christian's angle is making the title relevant again by taking his monster's credit and carrying the belt around but in all honesty it's the best reign since Miro entirely on the back of Christian's promos. With PAC & OC workhorsing the International Title for the past year into something prestigious and multiple over factions holding the Tag & Trios titles the past year, the TNT Title is currently the 5th-most important AEW Men's Title, and to be honest before Christian & Luchasaurus I would've put it under both women's titles too, but now it's about on par with Stat's solid reign and better than Saraya by default."

It was a 9 when Miro lost the title, now it's just a 5. A thing that I don't care about. Lowering the title by 1 point because of Wardlow just lasting 3 days with the title. Christian Cage is a great champion, so my 5 is back"

There have been a few bad reigns but otherwise it has been held by some great workers where you'd think it'd be almost impossible to screw up. The past year especially with either Wardlow or Joe or Hobbs or Darby, I was ready to enjoy any of those as champion but again the booking managed to annul all of them which is a feat in itself. I'm not a big lover of Luchasaurus but Christian is doing good work at the moment and the belt definitely feels on the way up again."

[3.0] "This title isn't what it use to be. The TNT championship seems to be more cursed than anything as this was seen as a second world title at one point, but not it seems that it has a status of complete and utter low mid card territory which is a shame. The title itself is gorgeous depending on who is customizing it at the time, but the normal first design was pretty pathetic, and the controversial way CODY won the belt is still kinda there. And with it's currently hot potatoing storylines, I don't see this title becoming relevant for a while. For now, it gets a 3."

[6.0] "Darby's short second run with the belt was the last time it really felt like it was competitive, and had heat on it. Hobbs could've done wonders for this belt had he won it in a convincing manner and then been given a proper monster run. Instead he dropped it needlessly back to Wardlow, who needs to be kept away from this belt for the foreseeable future. Christian is entertaining as the "champion", but him and Luchasauras gotta have an actual engaging story to make me care again. If the dino drops the belt too quickly, this title is officially dead and buried."

They really should've put it on Christian and let his star power make it important for at least 6 months."

[6.0] "The belt started off by being treated very with the first 5 title reigns proving belt to the fighting champion's belt. However, after Sammy Guevera's first reign, the belt would suddenly start changing hands at the flick of a wrist, and when it wasn't changed hands so quickly, it was being neglected. So although I think the hot potaoing of the belt has negatively affected it's value over the past year, it has still been held by great names and could soon gain back that prestige it so desperately needs back."

[6.0] "The AEW TNT Championship is a tough one to rank. The reigns in the beginning are some of the best in the title's history, whereas as of late, the title's prestige has definitely been diminished. 3 months into 2023 and we've already seen 4 different wrestlers hold this championship, 3 this week alone. Not to mention, the 17 total reigns have been split amongst 9 people and with the exception of 3 wrestlers, every other wrestler has held the TNT title 2+ times. Most of these reigns have been pointless and simply for stats, Wardlow's 3 day reign being the most prevalent example. For every 140 day Miro reign, you're gonna have a 12 day Sammy reign but the amount of short reigns feels overkill and its hard to take this title seriously. Now, Hobbs is the well deserved champion so I'm hoping for a long, dominating reign for the man. That's exactly what's needed to bring back prestige to this championship."

What once was a good workers title has become a complete joke. The title changes hands once a month, sometimes not even. The title defenses have no storylines attached to them unless there's a PPV coming up, which happens about 4 times a year. Miro was the last champion who actually had multiple storylines during his reign and didn't just defend it for no reason every other week. Hopefully Hobbs gets a good reign but I imagine he'll be dropping it to Ricky Starks at the next PPV and then vanishing to Dark again. Terrible."

If you want to know how healthy the belt is, just look at who the current holder has faced during defences, as I type this the holder is Wardlow and he has basically only faced very low card guys."

[7.0] "Die TNT Championship ist sozusagen das Pendant eines TV Titels für AEW. Mit Cody als ersten Titelträger hat man meines Erachtens alles richtig gemacht, da er den Titel gut etablieren konnte. Als Fighting Champion hat er ihn gegen viele Überraschungsgegner verteidigen können. Fast jeder von ihnen hat in dieser Position funktioniert und einige hat man anschließend unter Vertrag genommen und in teils prominenten Spots in den nächsten Wochen und Monaten eingebunden. Codys Titelverlust an Brodie Lee in ca. 3 Minuten war ein absoluter Schocker. Unglaublich gut porträtiert, im Endeffekt hat man dadurch leider etwas zu wenig gemacht. Cody konnte sich den Titel zurückgewinnen, was zwar für den folgenden Titelwechsel an Darby Allin für dessen großen Moment absolut sinnvoll war, was allerdings zwei relativ kurze Runs für Brodie Lee und Codys zweiten Titelrun bedeutete. Ich glaube ein erster, etwas längerer Titelrun von Cody wäre besser gewesen, ehe man Darby seinen großen Sieg über Cody gegeben hätte. Man hätte zwar auf diesen Schockmoment mit Brodie's Sieg über Cody verzichtet, aber im Endeffekt haben diese schnellen Titelwechsel den Titel kleinere Kratzer gegeben. Man kann erwarten, dass die TNT Championship ein dynamischerer Titel im Vergleich zur World Championship werden wird und wir mehrere Titelwechsel auch in den TV Shows sehen werden. Bis hierhin hat er einen guten Stellenwert, aber natürlich ist er nicht das Prestigeobjekt, die sowohl die AEW World Championship, als auch die AEW World Tag Team Championship hat. Für einen zweiten Singles Titel hat man die TNT Championship aber gut etabliert. Update: Es gibt einen Punkt Abzug, weil der Titel in den letzten Monaten unter dem Booking gelitten hat."

AEW treibt es jedoch noch auf die Spitze und benennt seinen Television Title nachdem Sender auf dem man läuft....Champion eines Senders zu sein untergräbt das Selbstwertgefühl stärker als Champion des Fernsehens zu sein. Bitte abschaffen!"

It's also feels like this title needed a new third time champion because Cody left for WWE, all these things leads to a normal midcard title."

It? s thrown around like a hot potato, and the storylines haven? t exactly been that great. It? s lost a spark I used to think it had."

The success of Miro and Sammy's strong series of matches for it. Of course extra points due to the great feud Cody and Brodie Lee had over it"

Title looks like something irrelevant, there were like 2-3 feuds for the title in this year (miro-archer, miro-guevara)"

[9.0] "It is a great title but there is still work to be done, it should be defended more often, and better challengers, I'll use Miro's reign as an example, half of the people he has faced are still developmental talent, of course, I'm not saying they shouldn't have developmental talent fighting for the belt, I think it is a good idea to let new talent shine but as of right now they do it way too often, feels like it's just padding for a title reign."

Cody was the ideal first champion to elevate a mid card belt, and elevate it he did with his open challenges, which also served to elevate AEW's unsung talent. I need to see more of Darby Allin as champion to make a fair judgement, so far so good"

It's the workhorse title for AEW, with Cody Rhodes having defended it nearly weekly when he held it, Lee dominating the company while holding it, and now Darby Allin holding it with his association with Sting."

[8.0] "To say that some people were comparing this title with the WWE 24/7 title when they are totally different. The title 24/7 takes the principle of the Hardcore title, that is to say being defended anywhere, anytime. The TNT title is meant to be a real secondary title, at the same level as the US title. And I hope that with Darby Allin, the title will gain prestige."

Not just because Ricky and Eddie got jobs but it has also furthered Cody's story. Edit :- Finally the ratings are open. This title has been treated with significance and I'm glad about it. Now Darby is the champion and we seem to be moving towards some fine stuff with the title."

"I usually wait 6 months to give a title a proper rating (which works bc you can't rate rate this yet), but for now I'll say that I like the almost weekly challenges Cody has been doing, and the newest version of the belt is very pretty. My only problem now is that the whole TNT title scene feels detached from the rest of the promotion for some reason. I sort of feel this way with the World title as well, but to a lesser extent."

"Ich verstehe die ganze Kritik nicht, die der neue Gürtel bekommt. Ich meine er ist nicht der schönste Gürtel den ich je gesehen habe, aber er sieht ok aus und selbst Cody sagt das der Gürtel noch nicht fertig konstruiert ist. Dann komme ich zu der Matchqualität die um den Gürtel ausgekämpft wurde und die liegt meiner Meinung nach im positiven Bereich. Codys Match gegen Lance fand ich schon ziemlich beeindruckend und gab den neuen Gürtel schon mal einen guten Start. Seine Titelverteidigung gegen Jungle Boy empfand ich selber als gut. Der neue Gürtel hat in meinen Augen auf jeden Fall Potenzial und bin gespannt wie der Gürtel aussieht, wenn er fertig hergestellt ist."

Ok das er den Sender Prässentiert mag nicht jedermanns Geschmack sein aber dafür darf aktuell jedes aufstrebende Talent der Liga wöchentlich in echt super matches ran. Da ist echt Abwechslung geboten. Klar ist zwar das Cody ihn noch etwas behalten wird weil er den Sender mit dem Titel repräsentiert aber irgendwann wird er ihn auch verlieren und wenn da weiter so viel Abwechslung geboten wird ist das echt mega"
