AEW President Tony Khan yesterday announced the creation of
another title in AEW: the National Championship.
The inaugural champion will be crowned at Full Gear later
this month in a Casino Gauntlet match.
The announcement was made on a live stream on X, with Khan
and Tony Schiavone. Khan said that he misses seeing the
National Championship on TBS and wanted to revive the title
for quite a while. Khan said that the title will be defended
across multiple promotions.
Ricochet, Bobby Lashley, and Shelton Benjamin are the first
three who were announced for the Casino Gauntlet match.
The original National Championship was created in 1980 for
Georgia Championship Wrestling and was unified in 1986 to
become the United States title, which is now owned by the
WWE
