In a conference call with reporters yesterday ahead of All
In, AEW President Tony Khan clarified that the Continental
and International titles are not being retired at all and
the new AEW Unified champion may have to carry all three
titles with him!
Kenny Omega and Kazuchika Okada will renew their rivalry
this Saturday, with the winner crowned the new AEW Unified
champion.
But while it was thought that the two titles that they carry
respectively were going away, Khan said they’re not, with
the lineage of both titles remaining intact.
AEW already had the Triple Crown championship which involved
three titles at the time – the AEW Continental, the ROH, and
NJPW Strong championships. The idea did not last long and
the champion at the time, Eddie Kingston, eventually lost
the three titles in three different matches.
Okada has been Continental champion for 476 days as of today
while Omega has been the International champion for 122 days
so far.
