AEW TBS Championship
History
Dynamite moved to TBS on January 5, 2022. Even though the show moved to TBS from TNT , Cody Rhodes announced that the TNT Championship wouldn't be renamed. AEW instead announced that a new championship called the AEW TBS Championship would be created.
On the October 6, 2021 episode of Dynamite , commentator Tony Schiavone and referee Aubrey Edwards unveiled the title during a segment.
The first champion was Jade Cargill . She defeated Ruby Soho in the finals of a tournament on the January 5, 2022 episode of Dynamite . She would go on to hold it for 508 days, which was the longest for any championship in AEW. Her record was broken in August 2025 by Kazuchika Okada with the AEW Continental Championship . Two months later, Mercedes Moné broke Cargill's record as the longest-reigning TBS Champion.
