During a live feed on X, AEW President Tony Khan revealed
that he recently had a conversation with Billy Corgan, who
heads up the NWA, over the creation of the AEW National
Championship.
NWA has the original National championship and when AEW
announced the creation of the title, it ruffled some
feathers.
“I have a lot of respect for him and a lot of respect for
what he’s doing,” Khan said. “I really love the traditions
of pro wrestling and I had a really nice talk with Billy and
we hadn’t talked in a long time so I think it was good for
him to hear this.”
Khan added that while he respects Corgan and the NWA, AEW is
trying to do something completely different with the
National Championship which will be defended across multiple
promotions once the inaugural winner is determined at the
upcoming Full Gear pay-per-view.
A Casino Gauntlet match at Full Gear will crown the
inaugural AEW National champion.
