AEW Battle of the Belts is an American series of

Eastern Time (ET) immediately after AEW's regular Saturday program, Collision; the series originally aired on select Saturday nights at 8 p.m. ET, but was moved to Fridays at 11 p.m. ET beginning with the fourth episode before its move back to Saturdays with the seventh episode. Battle of the Belts premiered with a live episode on January 8, 2022. The 12th and most recent special was held on October 17, 2024 (aired
October 19).

The theme of the show was originally that all matches were contested for professional wrestling championships; in 2024, this expanded to include matches for future opportunities at championships as well as standard non-title matches. Thus far, seven of AEW's eight active championships have been defended on the specials. This includes five men's titles—the TNT Championship, the International Championship, the Continental Championship, the World Tag Team Championship, and the World Trios Championship—and both women's titles—the Women's World Championship and TBS Championship. There have also been five championships from AEW's sister promotion Ring of Honor (ROH) contested. These include four men's titles—the World Championship, the World Television Championship, the World Tag Team Championship, and the World Six-Man Tag Team Championship—and one women's title—the Women's World Championship. The former FTW Championship, which was used by AEW from July 2020 until its retirement in September 2024, also had defenses on the program.

As of October 19, 2024, only three title changes have occurred during Battle of the Belts episodes, two of which involved

tag team match

History

In May 2021, the American professional wrestling promotion All Elite Wrestling (AEW) renegotiated its broadcasting deal with WarnerMedia (now Warner Bros. Discovery), which saw AEW's flagship television program, Wednesday Night Dynamite, move from TNT to TBS in January 2022, while its other weekly program at the time, Friday Night Rampage, remained on TNT.[1][2] Also as part of the deal, AEW agreed to produce four quarterly television specials on TNT that would take place on Saturdays.[1][3] Former AEW executive and wrestler Cody Rhodes said that these specials would be similar to Jim Crockett Promotions/World Championship Wrestling's Clash of the Champions and WWE's Saturday Night's Main Event shows, calling them super events.[4] Wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer reported that the quarterly specials would be one-hour shows, but said they were originally planned to be longer, and also that they would feature pay-per-view caliber cards.[5]

On November 24, 2021, the television special series was announced to be titled Battle of the Belts with the inaugural event scheduled to be held

Eastern Time (ET) on January 8, 2022, at the Bojangles Coliseum in Charlotte, North Carolina. The tagline was confirmed as "Saturday Fight Night".[6][7] The name "Battle of the Belts" came from a National Wrestling Alliance event held from 1985 to 1987 by the promotion's Florida territory that was operated by Eddie Graham.[6]

AEW President

Battle of the Belts I live broadcast, with all other AEW champions participating in these Dark matches. The inaugural episode itself featured matches for the AEW Women's World Championship, the interim AEW TNT Championship, and the FTW Championship.[9]

On February 15, 2022, AEW announced that

Battle of the Belts II would be taped on April 15 at the Curtis Culwell Center in Garland, Texas,[10] which aired on tape delay the next day on April 16.[11] After Tony Khan's purchase of Ring of Honor (ROH) in March 2022, the ROH World Championship was scheduled to be defended at Battle of the Belts II, the first non-AEW championship defended on the series.[12]

On August 4, 2022,

AEW All-Atlantic Championship (renamed International in March 2023), and ROH World Tag Team Championship on the program.[14]

On November 2, 2022, it was announced that the Battle of the Belts series would continue with

Calgary, Alberta, Canada at 10 p.m ET after the live broadcast of Collision on TNT. This in turn returned the special to Saturday nights and also marked the first Battle of the Belts to be held outside of the United States.[17]

Battle of the Belts VIII, which took place on October 21, 2023, was the first Battle of the Belts to have four matches on the card; all previous episodes only had three. It would also be the first episode to include defenses of the AEW World Trios Championship and the ROH World Television Championship.[18]

While the theme of Battle of the Belts was originally that all matches would be championship matches, in 2024, the show began to feature Championship Eliminator matches. A Championship Eliminator is a variation of a

Battle of the Belts X on April 13, 2024, in which reigning AEW International Champion Roderick Strong defeated Rocky Romero. This particular episode also saw no defense of an AEW branded championship, as in addition to the Championship Eliminator, the other two matches were for the FTW Championship and the ROH Women's World Championship, which was the first time for the latter to be defended on the program.[19]

The Mexican promotion

CMLL Women's World Champion Willow Nightingale defeated Deonna Purrazzo in a Championship Eliminator match. This episode was also the first time that the ROH World Six-Man Tag Team Championship was contested on the show.[20]

The first match to not have any championship implications occurred at

Jon Cruz and Jack Cartwheel. This episode also saw the first defense of the AEW Continental Championship at Battle of the Belts.[21]

In October 2024, AEW announced a new media rights deal with Warner Bros. Discovery, taking effect on January 1, 2025; however, Battle of the Belts was not included in the new deal. While there has been no confirmation on the future of the series, the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reported that AEW could potentially shop it to other networks.[22]
