Tony Khan Interested In Introducing AEW Mixed Tag Team Titles
Interest within AEW over introducing mixed tag team titles
May 27, 2024
Could All Elite Wrestling introduce another set of championships?
Tony Khan was asked at the AEW Double or Nothing media scrum about potentially introducing AEW Women's Tag Team Championships or AEW Women's Trios Titles. The AEW CEO noted the promotion has discussed adding those belts to the company but Khan also revealed he is interested in creating mixed tag team championships.
"Yeah, absolutely. We've talked about that. We've talked about a lot of potential additions in terms of championships. I think right now we've got some really strong rivalries emerging amongst the world championship, the TBS Championship, and also with ROH you can't deny that ROH has great champions now... We're also still trying to really build the depth back to I think the strongest it's ever been. There was a point at All Out 2021 where I was coaching the Casino Battle Royale and we had 21 women in that battle royale as well as a great Britt Baker vs. Kris Statlander championship match. I think that was top to bottom up until now the deepest the division has ever been... I also think something different we could do here that I've had interest in would be mixed tag team championships. I think we have a lot of people who are aligned and I think a lot of people would be interested in that too and that's different than what other major promotions have and I think that would set AEW apart. So I'm also interested in mixed tag team championships," Khan said.
An AEW couple in Sammy Guevara and Tay Melo are former AAA World Mixed Tag Team Champions and they even defended the belts in All Elite Wrestling, first against Dante Martin and Skye Blue on an August 2022 episode of Rampage before Melo and Guevara faced Ortiz and Ruby Soho at All Out.
